Managed ESI Service

An outsourced service for the ongoing management of the identification, preservation, and collection of electronically stored information.

Litigation is a permanent part of the business process. The most efficient way to limit the cost and risk of eDiscovery is to manage all electronically stored information (ESI) from the instant the records are created. Corporate IT departments, however, do not necessarily have the bandwidth for this type of ESI governance and only get involved once the legal department has determined that litigation is likely.

IE Discovery’s Managed ESI Service helps companies remain prepared for discovery as a regular part of their IT and records management protocols, without adding headcount or infrastructure. The service includes routine, ongoing services, such as data mapping and duplicate identification, and as-needed activities, such as legal hold management and early case assessment, when a matter has reached a “litigation-possible” stage.

IE Discovery fills the gaps between the legal, IT, and records management departments and takes complete responsibility for ESI governance, including identification of the solution, installation and initial deployment, ongoing operations, and matter-specific tasks, all for a single monthly fee.
