Explosive growth from unstructured data continues to impede the legal discovery process. According to a recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey, 69% of corporate counsel indicated that working more closely with IT and records management to expire and delete data to limit unnecessary data retention for future litigation requests was the most important priority facing their internal eDiscovery process. Legal and compliance issues typically trigger urgent IT and legal triage, but putting out these fires reactively doesn’t solve the larger problem of poor data governance– often the source of significant costs for large eDiscovery data productions. Minimizing long-term cost and risk requires proactive solutions to reduce irrelevant or “junk” data, and better understand where responsive, regulated or litigious data may be located.
The StoredIQ Defensible Data Deletion solution utilizes the StoredIQ Platform to help organizations gain insight into business-critical information distributed across the enterprise. By applying intelligence to the governance of Big Data, organizations can reduce the overall corporate data volume by up to 80%, significantly improving the efficiency and success of their eDiscovery initiatives while reducing legal cost and risk.
