One of the biggest challenges for modern eDiscovery is the sheer volume of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) most organisations have in play. This volume has made the traditional method of Early Data Assessment (EDA) – whereby custodians are first identified, and all their data collected and ingested into a review platform before EDA begins – almost prohibitively time consuming and expensive. Thankfully, today’s technology offers a
Early Data Assessment (EDA) has taken on an increasingly critical role as electronic data volumes continue to grow. Without effective EDA, the risk of over- or under-collection can be considerable, as can the escalation of eDiscovery overheads. Often confused with Early Case Assessment (which investigates the broader merits of the case at hand), EDA focusses specifically on the data. Its primary goal is to pinpoint the
In generic terms, cognitive analytics is the process of applying human-like intelligence to unstructured data in order to enrich the value we can extract from it. It’s inspired by the way the human brain processes information, using a combination of experience-driven instinct and learning to join the dots and draw meaningful conclusions.

As smartphones have become more and more deeply ingrained in daily life, so too have they become more critical to investigations. These outwardly innocuous devices hold a wealth of potentially revealing and discoverable information, including call histories, contact lists, text messages, chat conversations, multimedia messages, photos, videos, recordings, calendar items, reminders, notes, data files, GPS logs, app-specific information and even deleted data. The full extent of
For most organisations, checking in with legal counsel before choosing a Microsoft licence package sounds absurd. For those dealing with regular litigation, internal investigations or Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), however, the right licence – used to its fullest – can make a very real difference to the corporate legal bottom-line. Over the last few years, Microsoft 365 has benefited from some astounding developments in the
