eDiscovery could be next target for ECM vendors

At the end of last year, I tried to predict some trends for this year, and right there at number three was "eDiscovery continues to grow." As it turns out, I think that prediction has held true. It's no secret that this has been a good year for eDiscovery, and that could mean that some of the stand-alone eDiscovery companies have caught the eye of ECM vendors looking to expand their portfolios and get in on some of the action.
