Join the ACEDS Toronto Chapter for a panel discussion

In any investigation, accessing the facts quickly is critical to effective and timely resolution. All too often, however, the facts are not well developed or are unknown. Without an understanding of what they are looking for, many teams resort to production style relevance review of large volumes of data. This approach can be inefficient and costly.
In this lively panel discussion, the speakers will reveal the secret of using advanced analytics and a targeted investigation team to bend the EDRM continuum and uncover the truth earlier, more efficiently, and at a lower cost.
