Spending on processing-related software and services is estimated to continue to constitute approximately 19% ($2.67B) of worldwide eDiscovery software and services spending in 2022, with that percentage growing slowly to an estimated at 20% through 2027, when it will constitute $4.46B of spending.
Spending on collection-related software and services is estimated to constitute approximately 15% ($2.11B) of worldwide eDiscovery software and services spending in 2022, with that number increasing to approximately 19% ($4.24B) by 2027.

‘Too Many Daves’ in eDiscovery? How High-Velocity Online Sharing May Be Undermining Critical Thought in the Industry

The Dr. Seuss story “Too Many Daves” is about a family with too many children, all named Dave, and how it becomes difficult for the parents to keep track of and distinguish between them. Similarly, in the digital media realm of eDiscovery, there may be too many voices sharing non-substantive information, making it difficult for professionals to distinguish between valuable contributions and those that may be less meaningful.

Editor’s Note: ComplexDiscovery regularly conducts non-scientific surveys to gain insight into the business of eDiscovery. These surveys include the quarterly eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey, focused on gaining insight into the current confidence of eDiscovery-ecosystem professionals regarding economic factors impacting the creation, delivery, and consumption of eDiscovery products and services. One of these surveys is the semi-annual eDiscovery Pricing Survey. Initiated in the winter of 2019 and conducted nine times with 701 individual responses, this survey provides a mechanism for cyber, data, and legal discovery professionals to share and consider current pricing for selected eDiscovery-centric collection, processing, and review tasks. Today ComplexDiscovery shares the results of the most recent pricing survey.

The Winter 2023 eDiscovery Pricing* Survey

Survey Overview

The eDiscovery Pricing Survey is a non-scientific survey designed to provide insight into the general insight into eDiscovery pricing as shared by individuals working in the eDiscovery ecosystem.

The pricing survey is important to cybersecurity, information governance, and legal discovery professionals because it provides insight into the baseline pricing expectations for specific eDiscovery offerings. This information can help these professionals understand and compare pricing against value when making decisions within the eDiscovery ecosystem. The survey was developed through a combination of research, reports, and discussions with industry experts, and it covers a range of pricing models, from volume-based to subscription-based. By providing a snapshot of pricing expectations, the survey can help professionals make more informed decisions and ensure they get the best value for their eDiscovery needs.

[the_ad_placement id="core-standard"]

The core survey consisted of 24** multiple-choice questions focused on pricing in the areas of collection, processing, and review. Additionally, the survey had three general information background questions to provide context for survey results. The survey also has one optional question for respondent comments and considerations.

*For the purpose of this ongoing industry survey, price and cost are used interchangeably and represent the amount a customer is willing to pay for the service. However, from a financial and accounting perspective, pricing is the amount a customer is willing to pay. The cost is typically the expense incurred for creating and delivering the service.

**Core survey questions have been expanded from previous surveys, increasing from 12 to 24. This increase allows for price segmentation in areas ranging from volume to location.

***Survey methodology focused on achieving at least 50 responses with the least number of emails sent to the ComplexDiscovery and EDRM industry professional databases. This approach sought to minimize the number of requests for survey participation while ensuring a solid number of responses from which to generally assess market sentiment in survey areas of interest.
