What are Managed Services?
In a managed services model, a strategic partner takes on the responsibility for meeting specific operations to provide capability, improve quality of outputs, and enhance efficiency.
Benefits of Managed Services
Organisations can benefit from a managed services model in the following ways:
- Availability of qualified and experienced staff from an expert partner.
- Cost, given that the cost of building capability with comprehensive skills, knowledge and intellectual property will be higher than contracting a provider who is a specialist in the relevant field.
- Focus, by enabling internal resources to be directed where they deliver the greatest organisational impact rather than being redirected to non-core functions.
eDiscovery Managed Services
Effective, reliable and defensible eDiscovery solutions require access to the following integrated, specialist capabilities:
- Data processing (processing of data to meet protocol requirements, industry standards, and specific evidence collection needs)
- Data analysis (understanding and manipulation of unprocessed and processed data for a range of purposes throughout the eLitigation lifecycle)
- Project management (ensuring that all the necessary elements of the eDiscovery project are planned, executed in accordance with proven and documented workflows, and monitored)
- Consultancy (advisory support in relation to best practices for procedural compliance, evidence analysis, and functional software utilisation; development of tailored workflows)
- Access to relevant commercial and customised software applications (underpinning a range of processing, analysis, and management functions)
- Licensing of eDiscovery software solutions (such as RelativityOne, Nuix Discover or Delium).

Audit and Framework

- The nature and volume of your litigation and your clients’ evidence sets, noting that there are likely to be different classes of disputes with different eLitigation support needs.
- Your team’s current processes and workflows for:
- Data collection
- Management and review of evidence
- Discovery production
- Review of other parties’ discovery
- Preparation for trial.
- Current team capabilities and your preferences for team utilisation and future team development.
