With digital content exploding, corporations and their legal counsel are looking for new ways to manage electronic documents and respond to electronic discovery and complex regulatory compliance requests.

In addition to exploring today's top eDiscovery technology trends, attendees will learn how Catalyst Repository Systems is working with FAST InStream[R] embedded search to deliver highly secure, relevant and scalable data discovery to enable cross-enterprise collaboration.
