What Happens When You Outgrow Your eDiscovery Vendor’s Deployment Options
Most legal departments select an eDiscovery platform based on the data volume and matter complexity they have today. Few evaluate whether that platform’s deployment model, cloud, on-premises, or hybrid, can still support them in three years. That gap rarely shows up during procurement. It shows up mid-matter, when data volume has outpaced infrastructure and switching platforms is no longer a roadmap item but an urgent, expensive necessity.
eDiscovery vendor deployment refers to the infrastructure model, cloud, on-premises, or hybrid, that a provider uses to host and run its eDiscovery platform, along with how easily an organization can change that model as its data volume, compliance requirements, or budget change. When a vendor cannot support that change, the organization is left absorbing the cost of the mismatch rather than the vendor.
