e-Discovery Will Continue to be an Active Sector in 2013
Strong growth outlook: e-Discovery growth is expected to accelerate (CAGR of 25%) over the
next few years as legal/compliance/regulatory issues increase in complexity and as the amount
of electronically stored information (ESI) grows over 60% per year
Market will consolidate: The market continues to be highly fragmented and localized, but end-
users are demanding more complete and robust solutions
− Large enterprise software vendors looking to acquire small e-Discovery point solutions to
build solution sets that span the entire EDRM lifecycle
− The handful of strong, independent e-Discovery companies will have the opportunity to
consolidate subscale local competitors
Pricing free fall has slowed: Although price pressure remains, companies and law firms have
shown will pay for a combination of good technology and superior service
We expect the level of acquisition activity to remain strong in the coming year as
consolidation continues to define the industry

A Market Highlighted by Point Solutions in the EDRM...
The structure of the electronic discovery reference model created an environment of
companies focused on providing best-of-breed point solutions
ELEMENTS OF THE ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY REFERENCE MODEL
Internal audience (IT, legal, compliance)
Focus is on information management
Data resides inside the firewall
Typically served by on-premise software
Internal or external audience (legal, outside counsel)
Focus is on risk mitigation and litigation support
Data resides outside the firewall
Typically served by hosted or cloud-based software
Source: EDRM, CaseCentral
The division in the EDRM (audience, primary use case, software needs, etc.) forced software and service
providers to take a siloed approach and provide targeted offerings, leading to a market ripe for consolidation

...is Shifting Dramatically, as Consolidation is Underway
e-Discovery point-solutions across the EDRM are attractive targets to both service
providers as well as large enterprise software vendors
e-Discovery Suites
Service Providers
Attempting to create one-stop shops with
proprietary technology for full EDRM
Acquiring pure-play e-Discovery vendors
Full EDRM solution providers
Typically leverage software from technology
providers at different stages of the EDRM
Left side of EDRM Right Side of EDRM
Significantly fewer software players on this side of
EDRM
− Information management
− Identification
− Preservation and collection
Review stage is most active stage / consolidating fastest
− Processing, review and analysis
− Production
− Presentation

Users looking for faster, cheaper, more accurate solutions
E-mail is no longer the e-Discovery priority
Movement to cloud-based discovery throughout the EDRM
Big data / volume of ESI forcing need for more storage
Complexity given strict regulations / compliance
Increase in mobile device use
New Market Opportunity Emerging for Specialized Solutions
Emerging trends in the e-Discovery space have created a market opportunity for a wave
of new companies who provide specialized solutions not yet adopted by large players
BIG DATA PREDICTIVE CODING SOCIAL MEDIA
DISCOVERY MOBILE DISCOVERY
Key trends emerging
in e-Discovery
Big data collection is
becoming an issue due
to ESI almost doubling
every year
Increase in unstructured
data
Big data archiving
companies will be key
players
New technology
disrupting the review
stage of EDRM
Replacing manual review
as it is faster, more
accurate and cheaper
Becoming widely
adopted by vendors
Social networks are a
significant source of
information
Increased use of social
media in enterprises
creating a demand for
new e-Discovery
products
MDM and BYOD trends
are spurring the use of
mobile device use with
corporate applications /
data
Mobile forensics
companies will be next
wave of entrants in the
e-Discovery market
