Without a doubt, cost containment is the top concern of general counsel and law firms alike when dealing with electronic data discovery. A key area of debate is whether to keep EDD in-house, or ship it to less expensive locations, in the United States or abroad. There is a strong argument for developing in-house litigation support and EDD capabilities. An in-house program replaces the roles of outside service providers with in-house software, infrastructure, and employees who sit within an organization’s firewall.
Why in-house? The bottom line: to save money. As senior leaders cut corporate litigation budgets, companies are demanding more from their outside service providers. Even with bearish pricing, the cost of a vendor-based e-discovery continues to increase annually.
