According to Statista, the average number of software as a service (SaaS) applications used by organizations worldwide has surged from eight in 2015 to 130 by 2022! This trend underscores the primary challenge organizations face today: managing the expanding array of data types and sources of electronically stored information (ESI).
From a discovery standpoint, legal and IT departments are struggling to keep up with the “Whac-A-Mole” challenge of supporting so many new sources of ESI in discovery as each ESI source requires its own unique workflow, from preservation and collection through review and production. Finding solutions to support even the increasingly common data types is more difficult than ever, while there are no standard solutions for an ever-growing list of uncommon data types.
From a discovery standpoint, Legal and IT departments face a significant challenge in managing the expanding variety of ESI sources. Each data source requires a distinct workflow for preservation, collection, review, and production. Even for common data types, finding suitable solutions is increasingly challenging. Moreover, there are no standard solutions for the growing list of uncommon data types.
These BIG Data challenges go beyond eDiscovery – they impact every aspect of business operations today. "Data is the new oil," and effectively managing this data is crucial for business success. The current volume and variety of BIG DATA are not only causing new eDiscovery issues but also problems throughout the business.
Additionally, protection of sensitive and personal data has become more challenging, especially with the record number of data breaches in 2023 and the increased pressure to safeguard personally identifiable information (PII) under GDPR and other stringent data privacy laws. Data protection and data minimization have become increasingly important, and yet more challenging at the same time.
