8:30 to 9:45 Chris Pierre, eVince Services – Using information collected from various cases attendees will see a demonstration of how open source research techniques and using the Internet as an investigative tool can be used for the purposes of researching assets. These techniques can help to determine if a civil investigation makes sense in terms of cost/benefit to a client. They can also aid in the execution of judgments.

This is a question heard from a number of professionals who face the challenges of big data files. Join this session for a look at the realities, good and bad, that hide behind the eDiscovery and Cloud Computing buzzwords. You will come out of this presentation with a better understanding of their subtleties as well as new tools and methodology to help you deal with the ever growing amount of information.
