The new normal is forcing law firms to cut costs by getting creative. Here's what you can do: (1) Educate your clients about eDiscovery best practices, (2) Finetune your eDiscovery systems, (3) Cull data ruthlessly, and (4) Pay only for essential eDiscovery features.

Drawing a black box over sensitive text works only if the box is 'burned in' properly. For that, you'll need dependable eDiscovery software with a powerful redaction tool and a well-designed redaction manager.

eDiscovery cases continually grow and shrink. So, pricing plans that charge for data uploads might offer low per-GB rates, but end up being very expensive. Instead, choose a plan that charges for storage only (i.e., uploading is free). It cuts costs and makes eDiscovery so much more flexible.

eDiscovery cases grow and shrink all the time. For example, they grow when you unpack container files and shrink when you delete duplicate/system files. But some eDiscovery pricing systems penalize you for this. The solution? Find eDiscovery software with prorated storage-based pricing.

DeNISTing is how many eDiscovery apps catch and delete unusable files. They compare your case files to a central list of known 'unnecessary' files and delete the ones you won't need. It saves you time, but there's a better solution. Find eDiscovery software that offers free uploading and processing, and you won't need to worry about DeNISTing anymore.
