Considering selection of an eDiscovery platform for a case or for your entire organization to use? A recent article on Legaltech© News provides some useful questions to ask to help select the solution that best meets your needs.
In Buying a New E-Discovery Platform? 8 Questions You Need to Ask First, the author (Zach Warren) reaches out to two prominent e-discovery attorneys: Gareth Evans of Gibson Dunn and John Rosenthal of Winston & Strawn, to get their takes on eight questions that firms should ask themselves before investing in an eDiscovery platform. We’ll cover them here and I’ll provide some of my own thoughts, as well.

In the article, Evans discussed polling his own attorneys – with something as simple as a SurveyMonkey poll – to determine what platforms they like and dislike and why. That’s certainly important information to gather. It has also been my experience that the more attorneys you have, the less likely they are to agree on a preferred platform, so it makes sense to get a sense of the features that are most important to them as well (which conveniently leads right into the next question).
