16. 2015-09-08 16 E-Discovery E-Discovery is defined as the identification, collection, processing, analysis and production of electronic stored information (ESI). The purpose of E-Discovery is to identify and collect relevant ESI and then reduce the total volume of ESI in an investigation so that investigators can focus on less but more relevant information. For the EU, E-discovery is essential to support findings in order to prosecute organisations that are in violation with EU regulations. For instance, the EU aims to reduce all forms of corruption at every level, in all EU countries and institutions and even outside the EU. It also aims to prevent fraud by setting up EU anti fraud offices and actively investigates and prosecutes violations of competition regulations. EU countries are in various stages of implementing EU guidelines in national legislation and regulations. Organisations have to be compliant with these regulations and are faced with multi-disciplinary challenges from law, information and communication technology. Soon, if not already, they will have to be able to produce all kinds of ESI in both internal investigations as well as legal proceedings if required to do so. Without proper preparation, E-Discovery can be a challenging ad-hoc process where tight deadlines have to be met at high cost or risk. Organisations that want to manage this cost and that want to reduce the risk of failing to produce requested ESI on time will have to become ready for E-Discovery.
