Leveraging technological advancements to minimize the cost and maximize the accuracy of human analysis required for large data reviews is the next step in the world of electronic discovery. Rapidly expanding data volumes and skyrocketing costs are driving this evolution. It is increasingly in counsel’s interest to make use of technology to find the most cost-efficient and accurate ways to review large volumes of data.
Service providers, counsel and cost-conscious clients are looking to nonlinear methods for relief from this burgeoning volume of data and the costs associated with it. When used effectively, emerging technologies can create efficiencies in prereview categorization of data, expand the scope of content analysis and accelerate the speed and accuracy of review. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to e-discovery, there is now a spectrum of alternative technologies and processes that can be tailored to the case at hand.
