EDRM – an organization which sets standards for the e-discovery market – has made available a 5.5 GB micro dataset for e-discovery data testing and process validation.

The new dataset is designed to address emerging challenges that e-discovery pros face in their work, and has many applicable features.

“With new e-discovery software programs appearing on a regular basis, and with many existing programs getting frequent updates, there is a continuing need for up-to-date data files of various types to use for testing and validation,” George Socha, co-founder of EDRM, told Legaltech News about the need for the new offering. “Newer file types can also be a challenge to systems and processes that have not been updated recently.”
