Recently, as IT Compliance becomes more diverse, companies have to take a
great amount of effort to comply with it and prepare countermeasures.
Especially, E-Discovery is also one of the most notable compliances for IT
and law. In order to minimize the time and cost for E-Discovery, many service
systems and solutions using the state-of-the-art technology have been
competitively developed. Among them, Cloud Computing is one of the most
exclusive skills as a computing infrastructure for E-Discovery Service.
Unfortunately, these products actually do not cover all kinds of E-Discovery
works and have many drawbacks as well as considerable limitations. This
paper, therefore, proposes a new type of E-Discovery Service Structure based
on Cloud Computing called EDaaS(E-Discovery as a Service) to make the best
usage of its advantages and overcome the limitations of the existing
E-Discovery solutions. EDaaS enables E-Discovery participants to smoothly
collaborate by removing constraints on working places and minimizing the
number of direct contact with target systems. What those who want to use the
EDaaS need is only a network device for using the Internet. Moreover, EDaaS
can help to reduce the waste of time and human resources because no specific
software to install on every target system is needed and the relatively exact
time of completion can be obtained from it according to the amount of data
for the manpower control. As a result of it, EDaaS can solve the litigant?s
cost problem.
