There is little debate that eDiscovery can be a daunting and

expensive endeavor. Even small matters can involve scouring

through terabytes of data. For some companies, litigation is one of the

many costs of doing business. That cost, and specifically eDiscovery

costs, can be one area that companies look to reduce as budgets shrink

and companies look to identify cost savings.

Bringing a part or all of the eDiscovery process in-house is the right

move for many organizations. There have been incredible advances

in eDiscovery technology in the past few years. The industry has also

created many talented individuals that can run and manage the

process. However, it’s not a quick and easy decision. There can be a

number of unforeseen and unexpected costs and hassles associated

with bringing eDiscovery in-house that can quickly mitigate the

savings and streamlining you hoped to achieve.
