A New Gartner Hobby Horse

October 5, 2009

I found “Gartner Humming the Proactive eDiscovery Tune with Five Step Process for Better Use of Enterprise Search in eDiscovery” notable for the length of the title and revelation that search and retrieval is important in eDiscovery. Yep. When preparing to work on a legal matter, search is pretty darned important. Finding a single email in several million does require some search and retrieval functionality even though attorneys really like to print out email, put them in three ring binders, and haul them around. The most interesting statement in the blog post about Gartner’s newest hobby horse was, in my opinion:

If you read my Blog with any consistency, you know that I believe that eDiscovery is part of a bigger issue called Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). And, if addressed from a proactive standpoint with ESI archiving and leading edge enterprise search and analysis from forward thinking technology organizations such as Orcatec and ContentAnalyst, eDiscovery will eventually become a commodity process.

I found this statement more informative than the information than Gartner’s identifying the obvious.
