For those who aren’t familiar with e-discovery, it is the process of searching through digital information to find evidence – typically used for a legal case involving a company or legal firm. But with so much big data to sift through, going through it all manually can require an extensive amount of time and resources.
Fortunately, enterprise solutions like Microsoft SharePoint has made performing e-discovery easier. SharePoint even has an eDiscovery Center, which is a user-friendly answer to the time-consuming process of e-discovery.
SharePoint’s eDiscovery Center can handle multiple cases at a time, keep the data separate, and compute different types of data all at once. Acceptable data types include:
- SharePoint lists and pages
- Objects for the Exchange Server
- Messages and attachments
- Calendar items
- Tasks
- Archived Lync conversations
- Documents
