Is there cost savings in bringing eDiscovery inhouse?

Yes. Traditionally corporations have dealt with legal service providers, including ones that host the data for extended periods of time. This, especially the latter option, costs a lot of money – typically upwards of $2000/GB though it is coming down lately. In-house eDiscovery software provides three key benefits for corporations – lower risk, lower costs and higher control. With regards to your question about costs, in-house eDiscovery dramatically reduces costs of review, storage, retention, bandwidth, human-resource efficiency, liabilities etc.; refer to: http://www.kazeon.com/solutions2/in-house-ediscovery-roi.php for details on the key aspects of eDiscovery costs that are eliminated/reduced and examples of actual dollar costs. In-house eDiscovery software enables corporations to make Early Case Assessments that reduce risk and cost by being able to make key decisions early on in the legal cycle thus avoiding potentially damaging lawsuit action including reputational risk and large fines.
