33 I L T A N E T . O R G • Technology Assisted Review (TAR) – Allows streamlining of document review including prioritization and/or exclusion through the use of AI. TAR is not necessarily ideal for all matters and should be assessed on a case by case basis based on the scope, goals, and risk profile of a particular matter. • Machine Translation – Uses technology to translate documents from one language to another and has seen marked improvement in recent years. The technology does not yet work very well with certain language types but strides continue to be made. The cost of implementation of technology, of course, is always a factor. And that factor needs to be weighed against the benefits of implementation on a case by case basis. Once again, your dedicated partners can help lay out the pros and cons of implementation based on a particular fact pattern. Step 6: Establish Reporting/Auditing Reporting and auditing are key to ensuring all parties are aware of the progress of the program and the pain points that may still exists to target improvement. When building out what reporting and auditing should look like from each stakeholder, look to both determining usable content and achievable frequency. A robust reporting and auditing regime enables the team to periodically take a holistic look at the program and next steps forward for improvement. But you also do not want reporting to be so frequent that it is paralyzing to the overall program. By building a modern eDiscovery program, an organization can position itself to mitigate risk, reduce unnecessary costs, and create efficient, consistent results. By implementing the same approach and processes across all matters, an organization can ensure a repeatable process is applied to eDiscovery across its litigation and investigations portfolio. As the program is established and improved, an organization will be in position to strategically select their outside counsel based purely on the legal expertise and abilities they bring to a particular matter knowing that the eDiscovery framework is already established and set up for success. It also allows outside counsel to focus on their strength, substantive legal expertise, and for the program to address many of the administrative, technical, management, and workflow aspects of eDiscovery. By establishing a modern eDiscovery program, an organization can ensure that the stakeholder with the right skillset at the appropriate cost is focused on the tasks designated to them at all times.
