Why eDiscovery processing matters?
Legal teams often focus on two bookends of discovery: collecting data and reviewing documents. The step in between, eDiscovery processing, is where much of the cost, risk, and defensibility of discovery is determined.
Processing transforms large, unstructured datasets (emails, chats, mobile data, cloud files) into a lean, defensible, review-ready collection. Without it, teams face higher review costs, missed evidence, or even court sanctions. Done correctly, processing is not just an IT task, it is a legal safeguard.
In today’s digital-first disputes, courts expect ESI (electronically stored information) to be complete, searchable, and defensible. Proper eDiscovery workflow management ensures evidence is preserved, costs are contained, and productions withstand scrutiny.
