Clearwell Systems predicts an increased focus on project management in e-discovery staffing in 2010:
3. Staffing roles will continue to evolve with a newfound focus on project management. The role of an in-house e-discovery coordinator will emerge as more of a project manager across the entire e-discovery process and has expertise in both, legal and IT. This shift will become increasingly necessary as e-discovery evolves into a standard business process that is repeatable, measurable, and defensible.[1]
