What is eDiscovery?

Electronic discovery, or eDiscovery, is the process of identifying and delivering electronic information that can be used as evidence.

Why would I use this scenario: For a legal case or an audit, you can create eDiscovery sets to identify the specific material to be located, and then preserve the sites and mailboxes in which content was discovered? The user can then create queries to further refine the content that is relevant, preview the content, and export the content. When the case is closed, all of the holds associated with the case are released.
