The Problem
Review complaint,
Agree preservation strategy,
Build spoliation defense,
Determine collection methods,
Review initial keyword culling,
Prepare for 26(f) conference,
Questions for opposing side,
Strategies for protecting
privilege, etc, etc
eDiscovery challenges
Imagine if… in the first few days of a case you…
1. Had an excellent understanding of the case and what to do
2. Made key decisions that could save millions in downstream
litigation costs.
• Too much data, not enough time
• The data collected does not tell us much
• Time is money – the longer this drags on,
the more it costs.

 We view Information Security, eDiscovery and Compliance differently by
focusing on people relationships before data.
 We use the law enforcement approach of visually connecting people and
their relationships before searching volumes of data for ‘the smoking gun’.
 Our ‘always-on’ surveillance solution allows any investigation to be
conducted instantly without the added burden and cost of collecting data.
 We reduce the number of custodians in a matter by
30%. This results in cost savings of $100,000 per
custodian in end to end eDiscovery costs.
 An example: we recently saved one of our
corporate clients almost $1 million in e-discovery
costs in a single case.
We think differently
