As computers continue to control our everyday lives, so does the growing demand to store and transfer data. In fact, in 2006 the amount of digital information created, captured, and replicated was 161 billion gigabytes and it's expected to reach 988 billion gigabytes (988 exabytes) by year 2010.

As a result of this digital explosion, the vast majority of evidence pertinent to litigation is contained in an electronically stored format. Recognizing this demand, the Federal Courts have adopted the new Amended Federal Rules in December 2006 to address these concerns and streamline the discovery process.

As a legal professional faced with electronic discovery, you will need to quickly identify, preserve and collect all potentially relevant electronically stored information ("ESI") from all sources without compromising its integrity. From the moment the discovery request or preservation order is received, the data collection and preservation methodology becomes critical to avoid spoliation issues.

Taking the consultative approach, Myriad's experts will assist you with collecting the data your client needs, using a verifiable and repeatable chain-of-custody methodology.

This can be a daunting task for anyone not experienced in the retrieval of relevant client data.
