Answer:
According to the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), the e-discovery process should begin with the identification stage. This involves identifying and preserving potentially relevant information that may be used as evidence in a legal matter. It involves understanding the scope and context of the legal matter, as well as identifying sources of electronically stored information (ESI) that may be relevant. This may include information stored on computers, mobile devices, servers, cloud-based systems, and other electronic storage media. Once potentially relevant information has been identified, it can be collected, processed, reviewed, and produced as part of the e-discovery process.
