Extract from Justin Smith’s article “Introducing Everlaw Staging Drive”
As the practice of ediscovery continues evolving to meet the demands that come with skyrocketing amounts and different types of data, legal professionals are looking for different ways to process and store it all. Between texts, emails, voicemails, social media messages, and dozens of other forms of communication, all of that data can be used as evidence, which means it must be ingested, reviewed, and organized effectively.
And if that sounds like a headache, it’s because it is. Legal professionals are drowning in this near-unlimited amount of data, and struggling to piece it all together.
That’s led many organizations to adopt tools that allow them to handle this growing volume of data more easily. Teams want to gain early insights into their data so they can assess the viability of a case, understand risk exposure, and quantify potential costs at the onset of a matter – before they tackle the core work of document review.
In an effort to offer Everlaw users options at all phases of a matter’s lifecycle, we’re excited to introduce Staging Drive as a space where customers can hold pre-processing data so they’re able to collect, preserve, and store files and folders before uploading to review.
