It’s 2018! How Confident Are You in the State of eDiscovery Business?: eDiscovery Trends

We’re back!  Happy New Year!  It’s a new year and a new chance to voice your opinion in the latest quarterly eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey!  This time, it’s the Winter 2018 eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey created by Rob Robinson and conducted on his terrific Complex Discovery site.

It’s the third year of the quarterly survey and we’ve covered every round of the survey so far (2016 coverage of results are here, here, here and here, 2017 coverage of results are here, here, here and here).  As always, the eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey is a non-scientific survey designed to provide insight into the business confidence level of individuals working in the eDiscovery ecosystem.  To date, the survey has been administered eight times over two years with 842 individual responses. Survey participants range from eDiscovery experts and educators to analysts and commentators in all sectors of the eDiscovery ecosystem to include corporations, law firms, governmental agencies, research firms, and industry associations.

It’s a simple nine question survey that literally takes about a minute to complete.  Who hasn’t got a minute to provide useful information?  As always, individual answers are kept confidential.

The Winter 2018 Survey response period is between today and achievement of 100 responses or February 28, 2018 (whichever comes first).  If the past is any indication, chances are the survey will be closed way before February 28.  So, vote early if you want to be counted!  What more do you need?  Click here to take the survey yourself.

As always, eDiscovery Daily will cover the results, looking at quarter over quarter and year over year trends to see how confident we all are in the business of eDiscovery.

So, what do you think?  Are you confident in the state of business within the eDiscovery industry?  Share your thoughts in the survey and, as always, please share any comments you might have with us or let us know if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
