vdiscovery implements best practices on an enterprise wide or individual case basis related to the identification, collection and preservation, processing, review and production of electronically stored information ('ESI'). Employing electronic discovery best practices is not just a matter of gathering responsive information, but it involves preparing in advance to control what information is created and how it is stored.

The concept of electronic discovery can be somewhat intimidating to many; however, vdiscovery applies best practices throughout the discovery process including greater control over document review and production processes as well as significant cost reductions. The abundance of electronic information makes pre-litigation planning more important than ever. As a result, vdiscovery makes project management a part of daily business operations, involving IT specialists, litigation managers, software engineers, and forensic examiners. With the right preparation and the proper technology, data retrieval, document review and production process can be easier and more efficient.

As a part of discovery management, vdiscovery IT professionals continue to explore and educate themselves on new and available technology that will help streamline the discovery process. Employing the expertise of third party applications provides additional tools and resources to handle complex discovery in a speedy, cost-efficient manner. With the use of such tools, vdiscovery can gain control over data retrieval and document review processes, while counsel can prepare for a clients case and the best resolution.
