by Matthew Verga, JD, Xact Data Discovery
In “In the Beginning,” we reviewed the importance of effective identification and preservation as well as the triggers for doing so. In “Legal and Technological Scope,” we reviewed the scope of what must be identified and preserved. In “Imagining the Possibilities,” we reviewed the first steps for identification. In this Part, we discuss the investigative aspects of identification.
As we noted in the last part, the identification process breaks down into two parts: imagination and investigation. Now that you have completed your initial brainstorming of potential materials, properties, and people, you are ready to begin the investigation part of identification.
