E-Discovery Basics
E-discovery is an evolving process comprised of various stages. The most generally accepted depiction of the entire e-discovery process can be found in the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Launched in May 2005, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) Project was created to address the lack of standards and guidelines in the electronic discovery for vendors and consumers alike. The completed reference model provides a common, flexible and extensible framework for the development, selection, evaluation and use of electronic discovery products and services.

For law firms, Cetra Technology uses Guidance Software from EnCase for identification and collection, and Clearwell's processing, review and production modules to complete the end to end process. While the traditional model of paper production only allows the attorneys to review documents after final processing, Clearwell's Transparent Pre-processing view enables attorneys to have an earlier look at the evidence during to understand the scope and source of the data collected. Another unique Clearwell feature is the Email Discussion Thread that enable reviewers to quickly see who knew what, and when.
