Seven years ago this month, BIA co-published on edrm.net the industry’s first E-Discovery Maturity Model. The model was designed to help organizations better understand how they were handling e-discovery and how they can improve their processes and reduce costs over time.
As the effects of the Great Recession were still being felt, corporate and organizational leaders were looking for ways to increase efficiency and reduce costs, and the E-Discovery Maturity Model helped outline a path for organizations to do just that. And then when the spotlight on data security began to grow even brighter, the impetus to truly take control of the organization’s data and e-discovery process became even more important, and the model helped there as well.
