Early Case Assessment Tools and its Importance

Early case assessment tools enable service providers to help customers cut the amount of data subject to expensive review and analysis during e-discovery.
The increased legal burden introduced by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is driving your customers to improve their legal risk management practices to contain costs related to e-discovery. Early case assessment (ECA) tools can support this goal, and storage service providers have a good opportunity to gain e-discovery business by selling and servicing early case assessment tools
For those involved in e-discovery, there are best practices to guide the process. The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) lays out the phases of an e-discovery project. Two phases of the EDRM model -- review and analysis -- consume much of the e-discovery budget at companies involved in litigation. These two phases require specialized software and attorney interaction, work that's best left to companies such as Stratify Inc. or your customer's legal department.
So where do service providers fit into this equation? You can add value to the e-discovery process by reducing the amount of data that needs to undergo review and analysis. ECA tools are the mechanism to cut the amount of data to be reviewed.
Early case assessment can reduce legal risk exposure by offering a necessary view of the legal case information. Contact ediscovery solutions or ediscovery companies for more info.
