The digital age has brought about a transformation in the way evidence is collected and managed. The “collect everything” approach was the norm in the early days, as legal teams lacked the tools and technology to intelligently assess electronically stored information (ESI) data sources. Unfortunately, this practice led to a deluge of digital data that attorneys had to sort through piece by piece, resulting in expensive and inefficient methods.

Fortunately, legal technology innovators stepped up to the challenge and created advanced digital tools that can intelligently analyze ESI data sources. This technology can determine what is within the scope of a particular matter and—more importantly—what isn’t helpful or relevant. By focusing on targeted collections, legal teams have avoided the impracticalities and excessive expenses of over-collecting data.
