'Hashing' is the process of giving a file a unique identification number. This 'hash value' is a digital fingerprint your eDiscovery software can use to find and cull duplicate files. And this saves you money on storage space.

Firms and companies want to update their workflows by going digital. But they’re put off by problems like (1) How best to transfer data from paper to computer (2) Where to store this data? (3) How to edit & share it. But now there’s a 2-in-one fix. Get the right eDiscovery software and it can help you go digital, too!

Native files offer much more than their eDiscovery alternatives (i.e., TIFFs and PDFs). They're the rawest and most accurate form of your case's data, they take up less space (making them easier to host), and it's simpler to spot if they've been tampered with. So, where possible, insist on getting native files instead of TIFFs and PDFs.

The SaaS (Software as a Service) business model lets you subscribe to an eDiscovery service instead of having to buy any software. So, you can pay low monthly rates and switch services at any point without losing an upfront investment.

eDiscovery productions come in many formats, and some are better than others. Also, there are standards related to filenames, filetypes, resolutions, and archives. To get the most out of your eDiscovery software, learn more about the production standards you should be insisting on.
