According to Brian Hill at Forrester, recent mergers and acquisitions in the eDiscovery market can be good for organizations wanting to mitigate legal risk with a mix of disjointed applications as long as they do their home work (see eDiscovery Market Consolidation Continues Its Steady March). I was pleased to receive a review copy. As usual, organizations must focus on separating marketing hype from actual functionality, especially in the area of end-to-end process capabilities. While integrated advances can provide concrete benefits and help rationalize application infrastructure, it’s important to look at these in the context of a broader eDiscovery strategy.
Such strategies should identify technology gaps and costly process integration points. Then enterprises need to request more eDiscovery application integration. Even then you cannot expect to end up with a single provider. The report notes that recent survey results indicate that 60% of records management stakeholders and 57% of message archiving users perceive “synchronizing eDiscovery, records management, and archiving efforts” to be a challenge.
In theory the transparency within enterprise 2.0 should support greater eDiscovery capabilities but there is still the tendency to create even more silos. Cross platform capabilities need tor receive a greater focus. The report offers some useful guidelines for enterprises as they navigate this space.

Having managed 75+ e-discovery projects over the last several years as a Project Attorney — from collection, to review, through production, and in many cases at court presentations— I have used (at last count) 52 ECA/ediscovery/CMS software systems in “live” litigation situations. I have lived with a market that has developed in a most helter skelter way. A virtual madhouse.
But I tend to agree with my colleague Chris Dale that the recent Applied Discovery + EMC + Kazeon tie-up is the first successful attempt at a seamless transition through all the EDRM stages. For Chris’s more detailed review click here: http://sn.im/zemp1 And based on a first walk-through, it works.
Of equal interest is the Recommind + Exterro tie-up which also offers a nice system to track/manage data and information throughout the whole e-discovery process. You have a blending of Exterro’s Fusion solution suite which manages legal processes (including the legal hold workflow) and then publishes collection requirements into Recommind’s INsite Legal Hold application to search, assess, preserve, collect, process, etc., etc. I have been spending time with the system and I like it.
