About this Article:
Electronic discovery service costs are projected to grow at an annual compounded rate of close to 40 percent and reach $2.5 billion in the U.S. by 2009 (Source: IDC). According to Gartner Inc., this year alone, an estimated three-quarters of all global companies will be involved in regulatory or legal action that requires a systematic approach to legal discovery. Gartner also believes that, through the year 2010, companies that haven't adopted formal electronic discovery workflow processes will spend nearly twice as much on gathering and producing documents as they will on legal services.
