Providing Efficient Solutions to Your Top 4 eDiscovery
Collection Challenges

Challenge #1

Accurate and Complete Collection

EED Case Study

A leading global law firm whose client was involved in one of the highest profile corporate malfeasance cases in history required the collection of a large body of ESI from custodians around the globe. Under heavy scrutiny, EED performed the collection without incident or mistake, maintaining chain of custody on over 1,000 pieces of media, affording the client the peace of mind of knowing preservation had been properly conducted and that spoliation would not be an issue that could be raised against them.

Challenge #2

Not Putting Your own People at Risk

EED Solution

Most counsel prefer that client IT staff not be positioned to potentially be called on for 30 (b) 6 depositions relating to preservation and collection activities beyond their normal responsibilities. EED's highly experienced staff is consistently asked to use their state-of-the-art hardware devices to reliably mirror image the full contents of pertinent system hard drives.

Challenge #3

No Business Disruption

EED Case Study

A leading technology company involved in an intellectual property dispute required collection of 24 custodians from 48 computers within 24 hours. EED worked on-site after business hours, completing the collection in less than ten hours resulting in no disruption to employees or normal business activities.

Challenge #4

Collecting from Custodians in Multiple Locations

EED Case Study

Involved in a dispute and anticipating imminent litigation, one of the world's largest food producers required the collection of ESI from custodians in multiple locations around the globe on a highly-expedited basis. EED collected 2.6 TB of data from 7 countries in 10 days without utilizing any non-EED personnel.

EED's twenty years of experience is the foundation of our unobtrusive, customized, reliable, efficient and effective approach to collections that has stood the test of time, both with our clients and the courts.
