Theresa Anastasia Theresa talks about database administration in eDiscovery. 1. What excites you about providing these services to clients? Every project is truly unique. Data source types and technology challenges, along with requirements, restrictions, timelines, budgets, and expectations, vary and are all matter specific. Finding solutions to match each project and searching for custom workflows to optimize a database to meet project-specific needs is akin to solving a puzzle. I enjoy the challenge as well as the reward of completing the puzzle.   2. What can clients expect when working with you and the Redgrave Review and Analytics team? Clients can expect to collaborate with a team of highly analytical individuals who are dedicated and excited about finding appropriate solutions to their issues. Our team analyzes what the client needs and brings decades of experience to advise on what works, what does not, and what is possible to help navigate the ever-changing technology landscape and ever-changing rules of discovery in order to reach the optimal outcome.  3. What technology can you not live without? Excel spreadsheets. When working in a database, I often export results to Excel to analyze the data. In my personal life, I manage almost everything—from budgets to calendars and lists—in Excel.

Lionel Joiner We asked Lionel about the importance of vendor partnerships in eDiscovery. 1. Why should clients care about selecting the right provider? Discovery costs continue to rise, consistently serving as the costliest component of litigation. Selecting the right provider can provide clients with a fundamental advantage in managing—even reducing—the exorbitant cost of litigation. Whether providing strategies to limit the scope of preservation and collection at the pre-litigation stage or utilizing cutting-edge technologies to minimize the cost of document review, the right provider should be considered an essential tool for an effective litigation strategy for every client.  2. What are the biggest challenges that face clients in this space? The increasing volume of electronic data and electronic data sources provides a challenge to clients aiming to retain this data as part of their ordinary course of business and to preserve it in anticipation of litigation. The expansion of electronic data sources, such as mobile device data, employee communication software data, and social media data, not only creates the daunting task of preserving all data from the various sources to meet their obligation but also presents ever-evolving challenges on how to appropriately and accurately review that data.  3. My all-time favorite book is ______. The Warmth of Other Suns by Ida Wilkerson. It interweaves the stories of three participants in the Great Migration, each migrating with different experiences to different cities in the North and West. I love this book because it truly embodies the hopes, fears, and consequences of an often little-discussed period in American history. As an African American from the South, this book not only educated me on the Great Migration but also inspired me to learn about the effects of the Great Migration on my family members who lived through it.

Mahoney, CEDS Sarah discusses the value our Review and Analytics Directors and Advisors bring to the team. 1. How can technology be leveraged to produce practical and cost-effective solutions? Our R&A Directors and Advisors are acutely aware of the vast number of technologies available that can be used to streamline projects. In our work, we have implemented technologies as simple as structured analytics, such as email threading, and as advanced as using AI to identify relevant data. We have extensive experience assisting clients with evaluating which technology to implement based on a project’s scope and size, along with reviewing the implementation and administrative costs to determine the best course of action. In our experience, clients do not have to use every high-tech solution available to get a practical and cost-effective solution.  2. Why should clients care about selecting the right provider? When a client selects a provider, it should feel like a true partnership. The provider should listen to the client’s needs, recommend solutions, and ensure their requests and concerns are addressed in a defensible manner. Our R&A Directors and Advisors provide a unique value to this partnership as they have extensive skill in navigating review tools and processes, including experience with the industry’s most widely used TAR and review platforms and emerging AI applications. By leveraging this knowledge, aligning on project goals, and understanding the client’s risk tolerance, we can identify all potential strategies and settle on the best options, helping clients understand what is important in a review and how to cut unnecessary spending and excess costs.  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/edfhKHd4
