DataIdentificationandSearchTechniques·Chapter8 227 Finally, the greater the number of data sources in the organization, the less scalable it becomes to use each solution's built-in search functionality. In such circumstances, the efficiencies of moving to an enterprise-wide search tool become more apparent. Enterprise-Wide Search and Identification The amendments to the FRCP suggest the need for a systemized, repeatable, and defensible process toward e-discovery and ESI preservation. Reasonable efforts must be made to search for, identify, and ultimately preserve and collect potentially relevant ESI. To meet the challenge of e-discovery today, organizations are increasingly turning to technology that can scale to search across the enterprise. These enterprise-class search technologies will allow you to deal with the challenges of searching for and identifying potentially relevant information in response to an e-discovery or investigation request. However, when choosing the right technology or vendor, you must ensure that you choose a technology that can meet the demands and rigors of e-discovery search and identification. You can eliminate many of the risks associated with the inability to identify potentially relevant ESI by using technology that includes enterprise-wide, multifile-type search techniques. The enterprise search and collection solutions also bring an objectivity and defensibility to the process that custodian self- collection cannot. This objectivity and defensibility helps to eliminate the challenges of custodian self-collection while mitigating the risk of spoliation as well as enabling counsel to monitor the preservation process by providing extensive reporting features that allow tracking the progress of a preservation effort. Further, an added benefit of these enterprise search and collection solutions
