Deciding How and When to Preserve Data - April 6, 2016

Deciding How and When to Preserve Data

Sponsored by Exterro and Deloitte 

To collect or to not to collect (for e-discovery preservation purposes): now that is the real question. Some collect to preserve, others preserve in-place, while many use a hybrid approach, which uses both methods. In this complimentary webcast, hear from e-discovery specialists who will debate on each side of this preservation question, including:

• Review of when the duty to preserve is triggered in litigation
• Pros and cons of each preservation approach (collect everything, preserve in-place, hybrid)
• How new technology can offer new out-of-the-box options beyond the three listed above

Speakers:

Rich Vestuto - director in the Discovery practice of Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP
