Bryan Melchionda of EED[TM] to speak at 2008 ABA TechShow

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Electronic Evidence Discovery, Inc.[TM], the pioneering leader in eDiscovery, today announced that Bryan Melchionda, expert advisor to client law firms and corporate legal teams, will speak on "A Project Management Approach to eDiscovery" at the ABA TechShow in Chicago on March 13, 2008.

According to the National Law Journal, July 17, 2006, it is estimated that over 90 percent of business documents today are created and stored electronically, and 60 to 70 percent of corporate data resides in or is attached to email. In the face of pending litigation, enterprises need to be prepared to retrieve and analyze terabytes of data on request, across an increasingly vast terrain that includes email, instant messages, handhelds, laptops, enterprise networks, databases and voicemail.

Many eDiscovery vendors, law firms and legal departments take a reactive approach to eDiscovery projects. Taking action without a clear plan can result in wasted time, inaccuracies, greater cost and client dissatisfaction. Melchionda proposes that the costs for eDiscovery can be reduced and readiness for litigation can be improved by adopting a project management approach.

ABA TechShow is one of the world's premier legal technology conferences. The three-day conference produces more than 50 legal technology programs and training sessions in sixteen topical tracks of interest to attorneys, judges, CIOs, IT Management, consultants and vendors in legal technology.

Bryan Melchionda is an expert in eDiscovery planning and management, team building, project management, and ESI review. Bryan has supported Fortune 500 corporations and leading law firms in implementing highly accurate and efficient processes for ESI collection, sorting, reviewing, analyzing and processing in many high profile litigation cases. Bryan is Client Services Manager at Electronic Evidence Discovery, Inc., where he advises client law firms and corporate legal teams on best practices for reducing the cost of processing, review and production.
