As anyone in the e-discovery business can tell you, in-house and external legal teams are grappling with the collection, processing and review of ever-growing data volumes, and costs that increase in parallel. In the Advice From Counsel study released by FTI Consulting last year, a majority of respondents reported seeing data volumes exceeding 20 GB per custodian in their typical e-discovery matters.

In another recent study, e-discovery managers from the Fortune 1000 specifically flagged the issue of over-collecting data and collecting duplicate data as factors driving up e-discovery costs, compounding the challenge of ever-growing data volumes. See http://bit.ly/1yG4obB.
