"With twenty new cases a month involving eDiscovery issues, the legal community has been in reactive mode, coping with a disparate chain of products and services and costly handoffs. Trouble is, this approach risks chain-of-custody and communication breakdowns and is only as strong as its weakest link. In 2010, the legal technology community will eliminate weak links to streamline eDiscovery end-to-end. There's been a lot of talk about a single platform approach, but now more than ever law departments and their outside counsel are moving to it.
"With a single technology platform across the EDRM, legal teams are cutting expense, reducing risk and taking advantage of modern methods and technologies provided by Autonomy's private cloud-based eDiscovery. Drawing from the expertise of industry thought leaders and active members of The Sedona Conference® and the EDRM Advisory Board, attendees will learn how clients and law firms are collecting to the cloud and using unique Early Case Assessment tools and advanced Review techniques to achieve results in a reasonable, defensible manner."
