Abstract
In order to minimize time & cost for E-Discovery,
many vendors have developed and released competitively
their own service
systems or software applied state-of-the-art technologies. Among them,
Cloud Computing is one of the most exclusive skills as a
computing infrastructure for E-Discovery
service. However,
these products actually do not cover all E-Discovery works that have to be done
and have many
drawbacks & considerable limitations. So, this paper proposes a new type of
EDiscovery
Service Structure based on Cloud Computing called EDCS(E-Discovery Cloud Service)
to make the best use
of its advantages and overcome the limitations of existing E-Discovery
solutions.
Simply put, the goal of EDCS is to put all functions
required during a whole E-Discovery procedure
on the cloud service.
This means EDCS enables for E-Discovery participants to collaborate smoothly
by removing
constraints on working place and minimizing the number of direct contact with
target
systems. What
people who want to use the EDCS need is only a network device for using the
Internet.
Moreover, EDCS can help to reduce the waste of time and
human resources because there is
no need to install
specific software on every target system and it can give a relatively exact
time of
completion according to the amount of data for manpower control. Resultingly,
EDCS can solve the
litigant¡¯s cost problem.
