Building ROI for an eDiscovery Cloud Computing Model

Cloud Computing is an important step in the evolution of Enterprise Information Technology Systems. And, without a doubt represents that next big paradigm shift in eDiscovery Information Technology.

As such, I plan to dedicate my blog for the remainder of the year to investigating and reporting on Enterprise eDiscovery in the Cloud. As an adjunct to this blog, I have also started a LinkedIn Group called “Enterprise eDiscovery in the Cloud”.

As a place to start the discussion, I want to present and then begin to analyze an absolutely outstanding whitepaper titled, “ Building Return on Investment from Cloud Computing”, by Mark Skilton, Director, Capgemini and other members of the Cloud Business Artifacts Project, that I found on the OpenGroup Website.

Cloud Computing is not a sliver bullet; is not going to be easy or inexpensive to implement; and, may not necessarily be the correct infrastructure and/or application delivery mechanism for either vendors or end-users within the eDiscovery market. However, done properly with an appropriate amount of planning and with the support of the “right” partners. I predict that Cloud Computing will be the “next big thing” and will propel eDiscovery technology capabilities to a level not readily available today.
