Predictable e-Discovery Costs

We all know e-discovery can be expensive with unpredictable costs from case to case. This is due to costs being calculated based on the volume and size of documents on a case and the common "per GB" pricing models many vendors charge. Wouldn't you like a more predictable pricing model so you can budget your e-discovery expenses?

Risks Involved With Bringing e-Discovery In-house

There are great benefits to bringing e-discovery in-house; however there are also certain risks. How do you know which products to purchase from the hundreds of e-discovery vendors? Will you be able to integrate the products so they all work together? Do you have the trained resources to be successful?

Minimize Impact on IT

Bringing e-discovery in-house can place a huge impact on your limited IT resources. If you purchase a collection of e-discovery products, your IT department will be burdened with having to integrate them into an effective workflow and managing the inevitable vendor finger pointing. Bridgeway has eliminated these problems by solving all the integration issues, documenting how to use the total solution, and acting as your single point of reference for all problems that may arise. Bridgeway's eDiscovery solutions will minimize the impact on your IT department with solutions that are easy to deploy, manage, and maintain.

Legal Holds

An effective legal hold process allows you the ability to prove to the court that you proactively took the necessary steps to notify potential custodians to preserve documents, emails, other electronically stored information (ESI), and other non-electronic evidence. Bridgeway's eDiscovery solutions allow you to streamline your entire legal hold process with a solution that's easy, intuitive, and extremely efficient. Our solutions can be up and running within days. Having a defensible legal hold process is the best way to avoid judicial sanctions.

Collection & Preservation

Once the various ESI has been identified for a case through an effective legal hold process, your next step is to collect and preserve it. Your IT department will typically be tasked with this work, but they need the proper tools to perform the collection without spoliation. Bridgeway's eDiscovery solutions include the StoredIQ collection appliance that empowers your IT department with the proper tools to perform forensically sound collection tasks. This will give you the confidence that you preserved your evidence properly to avoid costly sanctions.

Early Case Assessment

With your data properly preserved, your next step is to do a quick assessment of the data to identify potentially relevant ESI. You need powerful tools to quickly perform an analysis of the large volume of ESI you have preserved. You want tools to cull the mountain of data by removing duplicates and filtering by document types, date ranges, people, and  words or phrases. Bridgeway's eDiscovery solutions will allow you to rapidly gain visibility into case facts, allowing you to estimate the potential costs of the case.

Review

When you're ready, you may want to manage the document-review process in-house. We know that you need a review solution that includes true native review and configurable workflows, is highly scalable, and supports international documents in various languages. We also understand that the solution needs to allow your outside counsel the ability to collaborate in the review process through a hosted solution. We knew you would want a serious review platform, so the Bridgeway e-Discovery solution includes CaseLogistix, the battle-tested review platform that is used today by many law firms and corporate legal departments to help reduce the costs associated with e-discovery.

Production

The final step in a complete enterprise e-discovery solution is the ability to produce requested documents to opposing parties or agencies in an industry-standard format. Once you've decided to bring your e-discovery in-house, it's important that your production capabilities are integrated with your review platform. Having an in-house capability for productions can save your company an enormous amount of time and money. Bridgeway's e-Discovery solutions includes both CaseProduction and eCapture products, two of the leading production products in the industry.
