Extract from Hanzo’s article, “How To Prioritize Data Sources in Complex Investigations.”
When it comes to eDiscovery, complex investigations can involve enormous amounts of electronically stored information (ESI). This includes a wide range of ESI, including email, Slack messages, Microsoft Teams conversations, and other shared documents. Collecting everything at once can increase costs and leave legal teams with more information than they can reasonably review.
A better approach is to learn how to prioritize data sources in complex investigations. By identifying which systems are most likely to contain important evidence, your legal team can focus its efforts on the information that matters first. Collecting this data across multiple platforms can be difficult without a tool such as Hanzo Illuminate.
