Focus

The electronically stored information (ESI) before us in a litigation, investigation, or compliance context can be overwhelming. The volume, sources, and formats continue to increase and diversify. As the information evolves, best practices to access it and evaluate it have to keep up.
We must refine our focus on what's important, and surf the wave, in iterative dialogue with this dynamic swell of information. To fail to achieve that focus—or to lose it—may be to go over the falls and be rag-dolled. Ending up in such a reactive mode can be perilous in a legal matter.

At a high level, the approach employed naturally involves attention to needs, strategies, and solutions:
Assess needs
Individual, corporate, government, and law firm use cases and needs as regards electronically stored information (ESI) are distinct, yet similar. The need may be to learn more about a discrete set of information for investigation, or to substantiate claims or defenses, for example. Or the need may be to efficiently identify, evaluate, redact, and produce what's responsive within terabytes of information from disparate systems and numerous custodians.
Define strategY
Energetically moving from needs to solutions involves a well-defined strategy that’s updated as the landscape shifts. What course may be most effective to timely realize your particular project depends on multiple variables, including the investigatory or dispute context, the sources, types, formats, and volume of information, the optimal early assessment, and the analytics that may best focus and expedite evaluation and review.
Implement solutions
Proactive methods and actions (see ACTION) informed by explicit, customized strategy can integrate your identification, preservation, and collection of information—and your evaluation, review, and ultimately production and presentation of information—in well-considered solutions that are defensible, effective, and cost-effective.
