Portland, OR, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hanzo, in partnership with the Association of Certified Ediscovery Specialists (ACEDS) is excited to announce the release of their fourth annual Collaboration Data Benchmark Report. The unveiling of this pivotal survey’s results, along with a comprehensive report, will take place during a collaborative webinar on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 1 pm ET/10 pm PT.
This year’s survey aimed to evaluate the growing use and reliance on collaboration tools in enterprises and gauge organizational readiness across various sectors, including legal, IT, HR, and information governance, to address challenges in litigation, investigations, and data risk management. Initiated in 2020, the Collaboration Data Benchmark Survey stands as a pioneering effort in charting the landscape of collaboration data.
Dave Ruel, VP of Product at Hanzo, reflects on the survey results: “The findings highlight the critical role of collaboration tools in enterprises and the intricate challenges they introduce in managing collaboration data. This year’s survey signals a move from broad, exploratory data preservation methods to more focused, strategic approaches, adapting to the increasing complexities and volume of digital data.”
Adding to this, Michael Quartararo, President of ACEDS, observes: “The increasing significance of collaboration content in legal discovery is evident, marked by a growing trend of active engagement. We see a shift in legal organizations towards leveraging third-party software and built-in discovery features, moving away from developing custom tools.”
The webinar, jointly presented by Hanzo and ACEDS, will feature a panel of esteemed experts, including Sonya Judkins from T-Mobile, Amy Sellars from CBRE, Lawrence Briggi from IBM, Dave Ruel from Hanzo, and Michael Quartararo from ACEDS as the moderator. They will delve into the survey findings, discussing the implications for enterprises in governing collaboration data and fulfilling preservation and discovery obligations. Attendees can expect to download a comprehensive report and gain insights on key topics such as data prioritization, retention policies, and the challenges in data collection and discovery responses.
