eDiscovery involves a number of processes usually performed with specialized software, including the secure collection, transfer, processing, metadata extraction, OCR, search, tagging/coding, Bates-stamping, attorney privilege logging, confidential information/PII tagging and redaction, legal production, deposition preparation, timelining/case chronologies, motion practice, and trial preparation. ESI used in connection with eDiscovery includes email, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and other office files, social media and other web pages, computer databases, and virtually anything that can be stored on a computer and can be read only through the use of computers. This data is the critical evidence used by attorneys in modern commercial litigation.
