100 Legal and IT Professionals Reported in a Recent Exterro Survey That Worker and Technology Limitations Contribute to the Top Challenge in Managing E-Discovery Projects
PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - May 03, 2016) - Exterro® Inc., the preferred provider of software specifically designed for in-house legal and IT teams at Global 2000 and Am Law 200 organizations, today announced the results of their recent survey on the top challenges in managing e-discovery activities. According to the 100 Legal and IT professionals that participated in the survey, resource deprivation based on limited worker bandwidth and limited technology was the biggest challenge (36% of respondents) in managing e-discovery activities.
"Many of the challenges faced by legal and IT professionals in managing e-discovery activities can be linked to reactive, fire drill practices for meeting litigation and compliance demands. These survey results show that there is a large opportunity for legal teams to embrace project management principles and technology to increase productivity and ensure defensible legal practices. At Exterro, we fundamentally believe that when organizations invest in project management principles and technology, e-discovery can be managed, measured, and ultimately, optimized," says Bill Piwonka, Chief Marketing Officer at Exterro.
