Taken from the Report On Kershaw-Howie Survey of E-Discovery Providers Pertaining to Deduping Strategies and used with permission of the Electronic Discovery Institute, the following infographic depicts the potential data reduction benefit and significant savings that could be achieved through the use of across-custodian de-duping vs. single custodian de-duping in the conduct of electronic discovery.
