August MALSP Meeting - Understanding eDiscovery in the Cloud: Simple Definitions and Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

SYNOPSIS: 

Cloud computing is changing how organizations and law firms approach eDiscovery, but there is still a lot of confusion surrounding the topic. This session aims to familiarize legal professionals with what the Cloud is and is not by providing simple definitions and presenting answers to a series of commonly asked questions. Learn basic cloud service provider selection criteria and see what a typical cloud eDiscovery workflow looks like in RelativityOne, the cloud version of Relativity.
