What is eDiscovery?

Electronic discovery, or “e-discovery” refers to the discovery process of Electronically Stored Information “ESI” in civil litigation. Examples of the types of data included in e-discovery are e-mail, instant messaging chats, documents (such as MS Office or OpenOffice files), accounting databases, CAD/CAM files, Web sites, and any other electronically-stored information which could be relevant evidence in a law suit. eDiscovery solutions prevent alterations to original documents and allow them to be produced in a timely manner
