In a hybrid world, navigating cloud-based data collection is more challenging than ever. Ellen O’Leary from Casepoint discusses how to cope with those challenges.
In her blog post (Navigating Cloud-Based Data Collection in a Hybrid Environment, available here), Ellen discusses the greater adoption of digital collaboration tools that has resulted from widespread acceptance of flexible working practices (regardless of where you work).
As a result, ESI collection during eDiscovery involves more data types and data volumes than ever before. The increased reliance on cloud-based collaboration platforms like Dropbox, Slack, Google Drive, Outlook, OneDrive, and Gmail has further expanded the scope of data being collected, which is being compounded by the ever-more-complex regulatory compliance environment.
So, what does this mean for today’s legal professionals? Designing strong, efficient workflows, along with capable eDiscovery technology, is necessary to effectively collect ESI and process these new data types in the cloud without requiring extensive IT help.
So, how do you manage navigating cloud-based data collection in a manner that’s secure, direct and defensible, especially with so many data sources to support? Check out Ellen’s article here to find out. This is a data source that’s easy to collect! 😉
So, what do you think? How is your organization addressing collection of so many diverse data sources today? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
