Which Phases of the EDRM Should You Insource and Outsource?

Two schools of thoughts have been fighting one another about how to cost-effectively handle eDiscovery. The insourcers, generally comprised of certain large firms lawyers, in-house counsel from major organizations (including government) and certain software vendors, contend that insourcing reduce
costs and improve control.

At the other end of the spectrum, outsourcers, normally mid and small size lawyers as well as certain vendors and services providers, claim that externalizing eDiscovery provide best-of-breed and up-to-date solutions while reducing the risks. In our experience, the truth, as is often the case, lies right in the middle! 
This session will explore which parts of the EDRM should be handled internally and externally by which types of organizations and provide reasons and examples why. By defining a standard eDiscovery framework, Dominic will walk you through the different steps you should go through when exploring the
pros and cons of in or outsourcing, in order to make the right decision.
