The most important fact?
46
The most important fact? Using Big Data to create business value can be the difference between winning and losing for companies
47
The most important fact? Using Big Data to create business value can be the difference between winning and losing for companies The same companies that hate eDiscovery
51
My point?
52
eDiscovery will become another IM “use-case” Data will be Identified, Preserved, Analyzed without ever leaving the network
53
eDiscovery will become another IM “use-case” Relevance will be determined from the classification of the data
54
eDiscovery will become another IM “use-case” Privilege will just be another algorithm set
55
eDiscovery will become another IM “use-case” Some call this “Information Governance”
56
eDiscovery will become another IM “use-case” I call it “the future”
57
OK, so maybe I lied
58
It’s not so much “dying” as “transforming” Into something that creates value
59
You need to transform yourselves too
60
Take off those risk-colored glasses
61
What are you afraid of?
62
There are trillions at stake! This is a matter of corporate survival
63
There are trillions at stake! This is a matter of corporate survival And companies do not want to hear that they shouldn’t do this because eDiscovery might cost them thousands of dollars
64
So where is your future in the world of big data?

(HINT: These people are not “beginning a promising career in the boating industry”)
66
Privacy “You have no privacy, get over it” - Scott McNeely, former CEO, Sun Microsystems
67
Security
68
Data rights? Who owns the data? Who gets to use it? What infringes their rights? What should those rights be? How long should those rights last? What recourse do they have when (not “if”) somebody infringes?
69
International issues Other cultures have a different view of “rights”
70
International issues You don’t “get over privacy” when the secret police drag away your neighbor
71
Understanding the data in legal matters
72
Including (warning! blatant plug), “structured data”
73
Understanding the data in legal matters How can you use it? What can you do with it? What can’t you do with it? How do you keep it from disappearing? Or changing? What is the “real” info? Does “real” info even exist anymore?
74
Understanding the data in legal matters Most importantly – what can you use?
75
The good news?
76
You grew up in a world where there are no unanswerable questions
77
Where you have effectively free access to virtually all information Any where Any time
78
Then - 15 years ago Exceedingly few open paths I was exceedingly lucky to find a good one
79
Now - There are many such paths
80
Find the path that is right for you
81
Now - There are many such paths Find the path that is right for you, or
