There's a good report over at
Information Week (registration required) that discusses how creating eDiscovery teams can help to lessen the eDiscovery burden and relieve some of the pain typically associated with the process.
IT and Legal departments within companies don't often see eye-to-eye when it comes to eDiscovery. It makes sense considering that they come from different backgrounds and have different goals and responsibilities when it comes to eDiscovery.
Still, those differences can create some serious problems, lead to
expensive eDiscovery processes, and sometimes even sanctions. In order
to prevent damage to their company, IT and Legal have to come together
to craft an eDiscovery system that helps both departments achieve their
eDiscovery objectives.
The eDiscovery report examines how the IT and Legal departments from
three companies in three different industries have used ediscovery
teams to bridge the gap between them and craft a cost-effective
eDiscovery strategy.
The report also points out that a solid eDiscovery plan can offer companies a business advantage in addition to a legal one.
