Did you know?

  • That you could probably save your clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in eDiscovery costs by hosting the documents within your own firm?

  • That a journalist at the New York Times OCRd 4 terabytes of TIFF images in under 24 hours with the use of Amazon’s EC2 cloud services?

  • That Apple Macintosh files usually don’t have file extensions?

  • That transferring sensitive data via a device (like a hard drive) in a cardboard box (like a bankers box) is highly susceptible to promoting disk failure?

  • That most near-dupe technologies can not group foreign language documents together?

  • That the “All Documents” view in Lotus Notes doesn’t always reveal ALL the documents, because it is a query and can be modified?

  • That it would take a team of 1,000 attorneys 100 years to review a petabyte of information?

  • That many of the off-the-shelf eDiscovery programs can not detect the encoding of documents and thus can not properly handle foreign language character sets?

  • That you should use the newest version of Winzip to compress your files, because Winzip will automatically preserve file-level dates/times?
