Question

How does eDiscovery process affects individuals in an organization?

Answer 1

The discovery process affects many individuals in an organization. For an IT person, it means restoring backup  tapes to show evidence on file shares, content management systems, e-mail systems, or other applications. For legal counsel, it means having a review process to determine what discovered content is relevant to the case. But for records managers, this work will have begun long before any lawsuit with managing records for retention, placing legal holds, and finalizing disposition.
