There are four major challenges in maintaining electronic evidence by enterprise. By using robust eDiscovery solutions that are now available as a SaaS service, the following challenges can be overcome.
Cost – In most companies litigation continues for years and it requires large volumes of documents related to multiple cases history files to be archived and retrieved regularly. Therefore, building and maintaining an electronic evidence platform is a good investment since it helps to bring down the total cost of ownership (TCO), while increasing return on investment (ROI).
Business disruption – When the eDiscovery process is not supported by a reliable system, the business may find itself coming to a grinding halt unable to meet the litigation requirements posed by external counsel and legal groups.
Scale – Historically ways of electronic data evidence management is not possible in present day because the number of litigations pursued or disposed continue to grow and so do the compliance and mandatory requirements for them. Therefore, an evidence management solution that can scale to accommodate unexpected growth can overcome this challenge.
Security -It is important in the discovery lifecycle that the evidence management platform is easily accessible to all, while also providing high security to the documents. Also, this scenario requires many tiered levels of security that match user roles. Using automated eDiscovery solutions can ensure the system is secure and controlled.
