Preparing to Migrate eDiscovery to the Cloud
While migrating your eDiscovery data to the cloud might feel like a daunting undertaking, it doesn’t have to be if you take some preparatory steps and build a plan. Set your cloud strategy and start the journey with practical experience by moving one or a few matters to a cloud-based eDiscovery platform.
Select a Cloud-based SaaS eDiscovery Platform
In preparation for a move to the cloud, selection of a cloud-based SaaS platform is the first key decision. Check the level of compatibility between the on-premises application and the target cloud platform.
Consider the destination cloud model. The eDiscovery cloud platform may be a shared, multitenant instance, or a dedicated instance. If it is a multitenant instance, it will be important to understand how data is segregated between various clients.
Identify features that will be needed in the cloud application. Support for data from collaborative applications such as Teams and Slack is important for most organizations.
