E-DISCOVERY
E-Discovery is the identification, collection, preservation, processing, review, reporting and disclosure of electronic data in regulatory, civil and criminal environments. As well as the policies, procedures and legal compliance to support the process and validate the facts. As part of our E-Discovery service, we assist clients in conducting electronic discovery projects more effectively by providing a platform for the secure and confidential exchange of information during judicial matters. The function of Cyanre is to process data which is received in accordance with instruction and to present such findings in an efficient and effective platform for legal review.
THE OBJECTIVES OF E-DISCOVERY
The Objective of e-discovery is to obtain information, which is information that is stored electronically and includes e-mail, instant messages, word processing files, spread sheets and other electronic content that may be stored on desktops, laptops, file servers, mainframes, smartphones, employees' home computers or on a variety of other platforms, which will be useful in developing relevant information for pre-trial motions and for the trial itself. E-discovery is becoming much more important in the context of civil litigation. E-discovery today represents a substantial portion of the litigation process, and companies that fail to produce electronic data in a timely or appropriate manner face the risk of paying millions of rand in sanctions and fines, not to mention loss of corporate reputation, lost of revenue and embarrassment.
- Nearly 90% of all information is created electronically.
- Millions of transactions of legal relevance are being conducted electronically, while only 30% of all information makes it to paper.
- In 2008, 30 Billion e-mails were sent daily.
- 60-70% of companies cannot validate the accuracy of their internal data.
