E-Discovery has grown over the last decade to become the primary mode of document production in civil cases. And while investment in technology and personnel that aid in the management of e-discovery is a growing priority for companies that frequently litigate, challenges persist. E-discovery software provider Exterro Inc. has attempted to identify those challenges in a new survey released today, which tapped some 200 legal professionals for comment.
“Our intent with this survey was to shed light on which aspects of e-discovery are the most challenging for the different stakeholders involved in the process as well as to educate them on solutions available to address these challenges,” said Bill Piwonka, chief marketing officer at Exterro in a release announcing the results of the “In-House Legal & IT's Biggest E-Discovery Challenge” survey.
According to the survey 36.4 percent of respondent found locating potentially responsive data to be the biggest challenges in e-discovery. Controlling the amount of data sent to review was the second most common challenge at 14.4 percent, and managing multiple e-discovery projects the third most commonly cited at 13.6 percent. Defensibly deleting data that was on legal hold and tracking legal holds rounded out the top five at 12.9 and 7.9 percent respectively.
