In the electronic age, huge amounts of data are being generated and stored electronically. Everyday, millions of electronic data pages are being created, transferred and stored in multiple locations. Most of this data is very valuable and critical, especially for businesses. Sifting through vast quantities of data for useful information is an arduous task, which is almost impossible manually. There are special tools available that enable faster and more accurate searches of data in vast databases. Electronic data discovery is the process of searching, discovering, sorting and retrieving electronic data from any kind of an electronic source. Electronic data can be retrieved from virtually any kind of electronic data storage backup device including personal computers, backup media such as CD ROMs, floppy disks, tapes, hard disks etc., spreadsheets, CAD/CAM/CAE and graphics, personnel records, policy and procedure manuals, software and source code, internet and intranet content, inte...

Electronic discovery is the retrieval of data in the electronic format. These days, information is being increasingly created, stored and transferred in the electronic form. Computers, hard disks, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks and tapes are some of the most commonly used storage devices. Data can be transferred from one location to another via electronic, voice or video mails through the Internet. All this has made the data more vulnerable. Electronic data can be protected to a certain extent, but is also susceptible to being altered or erased by anyone. This erased or altered data is not completely gone from the system, but can be retrieved using special software tools. The process of recovering useful information from vast amounts of data is known as data discovery. Data discovery has become an important tool in lawsuits today. There are certain guidelines relating to electronic data discovery. Some of them are: 1) counsel should become knowledgeable about their clients' informati...

Electronic discovery is the detection of information in the digital format. Electronic information is retrieved from computer-based systems such as hard drives, CD ROMs, floppy disks, tapes and other electronic backup devices that may contain data. It involves the use of certain technologies that enable easy and consistent extraction of valuable data. Today, there are millions of pages of electronic data that are being transferred through thousands of systems across the world every minute. The onset of electronic mailing systems, instant messaging and other online programs has made data transfer very fast and easy. In this process, there is the possibility of the data being lost or tampered with. Electronic discovery systems help to retrieve even lost or altered data as per user requirements. Electronic discovery can be used for any kind of data retrieval, such as document recovery, data recovery, evidence recovery and so on. User files, backup media, spreadsheets, CAD/CAM/CAE and...

Documents are rarely in the physical form these days. Most documents are being created in the electronic format, and even physical documents are being converted into electronic formats. Several devices, such as CD/DVD ROMs, floppy disks, hard drives and tapes, are being commonly used to store documents. Document transfer is also in the electronic form through e-mails or the Internet and intranets. When documents are created electronically, they are stored in temporary files. Even when they are deleted or updated, some remnants still remain on the hard disk, which can be recovered using special tools. Thus, data that is lost or overwritten can, in fact, be retrieved. This is an important aspect of electronic document discovery, which is being increasingly used in civil and criminal litigations to get useful evidence. Electronic document discovery is a very difficult task due to the sheer volume of data present in the electronic form. Collecting, sorting, categorizing and storing th...

Electronic discovery is the retrieval of useful documents from different electronic sources. With the increasing use of electronic devices for creating, storing and transferring data, the retrieval of useful and valuable information has become a challenge. Every second, thousands of documents are being transferred electronically across the world. This may result in the data being lost or altered. Electronic discovery enables the retrieval of even lost or changed data. Electronic discovery software enables the effective retrieval of data. Data can be recovered from any kind of source, including computers, backup media such as CD/DVD ROMs, floppy disks, tapes, hard disks etc., CAD/CAM/CAE and graphics, software and source code, internet and intranet content, Jaz drives, Zip drives, internet service providers, fax servers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), network activity systems, cell phones, pagers, electronic/voice/video mail and special databases such as CRM and ERP. Electroni...

Electronic discovery is the process of retrieving useful data and information from electronic sources. With the increasing use of electronic devices for data transfer and storage, obtaining valuable information from the millions of data pages is an arduous task. Moreover, electronic discovery is very important for dealing with litigations and government investigations. It is also required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Electronic evidence can be obtained from user files, backup media, spreadsheets, CAD/CAM/CAE and graphics, personnel records, policy and procedure manuals, software and source code, internet and intranet content, internet service providers, fax servers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), telephone /security / network activity systems, cell phones, pagers, voice/video mail and special databases such as CRM or ERP. The main aspects to be considered are the type of data to be collected, the potential sources of the required data, identification of the people who are likel...
