To predict a firm’s legal implications is the primary challenge while building eDiscovery solutions. Legal cases may be solved or they may continue for several years. A single legal case might require many ediscovery processes to track and update data and meta data. This nature of legal issues has contributed in the creation of grid based platforms that can be accessed on ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) model.
SaaS model is based on the usage of software resources from the vendor without actually owning the software. This kind of a set up works in data centers and are supported 24X7. This provides enough scalability and high levels of performance which does not depreciate with high volumes of data or many concurrent users. Mission critical data can be accessed anytime and this increases the usability of such systems.
