3 must-have eDiscovery capabilities for better collaboration

27 April 2022 | Written by Imogen Fraser-Clark

Many of the most prevalent problems eDiscovery professionals face today aren’t related to a lack of competency or skill, but rather to collaboration or a lack thereof. In the legal space, communication is everything, and it is built or broken by the technology that facilitates it.

To handle litigations in the increasingly complex, data-dominated, and ‘hybrid working’ world we find ourselves in, legal professionals need advanced eDiscovery capabilities. Capabilities that allow them to collaborate more efficiently, more effectively, and turn things around faster – minimising costs and maximising results, no matter how their teams choose to work.

Read on to learn 3 must-have eDiscovery capabilities for better collaboration, and how you can use them to support your team and improve overall efficiency in your upcoming eDiscovery projects.

1 - Single identity access

Legal professionals and eDiscovery specialists often work simultaneously across different teams, partners, systems and workflows that lie outside of their organisation. The problem with this is it means they repeatedly spend time juggling different login credentials and jumping through security and authentication hoops simply to access the files they need.

This might sound minor at first, but when you consider this being done multiple times each day, by multiple members of staff, it quickly adds up to days of lost time, time that could no doubt be put to much better use.

Advanced eDiscovery tools can enable you to access all instances and workspaces, through one single identity, at no added cost.

This saves users significant time by removing the need for multiple logins and authentications, freeing up more time to focus on delivering an exceptional standard of service. In short, it means you can collaborate across your client base more efficiently and more securely than ever before.
