Each day it seems more e-discovery software options are coming in the form of cloud-based services. However, not all cloud e-discovery solutions are created equal. Software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based e-discovery provides instant access to data, full control over the process, and the ability to “know now” to assess the merits of your case and develop an informed, winning strategy.

Managing all this data is expensive, especially when inefficient processes burden organizations.
