  "Under such exceptional circumstances, the only appropriate non-monetary sanction is a default judgment in plaintiffs' favor, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b)(2)(A)(vi) and the court's inherent powers"
– Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy, in Gutman v. Klein, 03-cv-1570."Two and a half years after the changes to the Rules of Civil Procedure, the respective responsibilities of legal and IT still are not being carried out by many because they don’t understand them. Only dialog between legal and IT will change that."
– Debra Logan, Gartner Analyst
Doing a poor job at e-discovery, and taking too long to do it, is an expensive procedure and, at worst, an even more costly failure. The e-discovery problem is not limited to a culture of reactivity and strategic delay among experienced attorneys, but also the very real costs associated with manual, widescale search, collection, protection, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI).
– Christine Taylor, Byte & Switch
By proactively automating the e-discovery workflow, attorneys can automate collection and the litigation-hold process, and can review according to de-duplicated and prioritized results. This is what allows attorneys to effectively apply e-dDiscovery to the realities of massive amounts of ESI.
- Christine Taylor, Byte & Switch
E-discovery is a challenge that is faced by virtually every organization, regardless of size. In fact, almost as many small organizations were the target of a lawsuit within the last 12 months as large ones.
– Business Week
The premise of enterprise information mapping is simple: improve your organization's information management capabilities and protect your high risk information by identifying what information you have, where it is located, and whether it is important and/or high-risk enough to spend time and money protecting and securing it.
- The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel
In the current highly litigious environment in the U.S., the increasing volume of information often leads to increased costs in preparing for and responding to litigation. Additional pressures are also brought about by increased needs for maintaining privacy and ensuring intellectual property protection, both of which require stricter controls on the internal management of information, and a greater knowledge of just what you have and where it is stored.
- The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel
"The ability to quickly find certain sets of data and related information in any format offers up some serious potential for helping cut costs related to litigation and discovery requests."
- The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel
"In any economy, protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information is 'a must-have."
- Robert Half Technology
"The "ESI Content Map"... will not only provide in-house counsel with the information necessary to execute a litigation hold but provide outside counsel with the information necessary to speak competently about the company’s legal hold efforts."
– Gregory Bufithis, Esq., Founder and Chairman, The Posse List
