The legal industry is now knee-deep in vendors offering EDD: data collection, data conversion, data archiving, data filtering, data hosting, computer forensics and electronic discovery consulting. It seems the acronym already is overused and stretched beyond its original meaning.
By definition, electronic discovery refers to the compulsory disclosure, at a party’s request, of electronic data that relates to a law suit. But in parlance, EDD now seems to refer to the “discovery” that most information is now in “electronic” form and everybody is rushing to get their digital house in order. To that end, a better description of this new area is electronic data management.
