    Google Drive Changing the iPad

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    The latest update to the Google Drive iOS app will give users the ability to edit and create documents within Google Drive on the iPad and iPhone. As a newer iPad user, and long time iPhone user, this is a pretty big deal. The iOS devices have always been more about consumption than creation. Sure…

    Linked – Former Google In-House Discovery Leader Says It’s Important to Invest in People Before Tech

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    You know, we could ask the same question at many corporate law departments, and also at law firms. “When I came to Google my hypothesis was, what would happen if you really invested in the people?” she said. “And then I went out and found those people.” Often, eDiscovery is an offshoot of something else….

    Linked: Ongoing M365 Tenant Upgrades/Migrations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It’s not normal for us to be using a platform that works one way, then changes and works another way two weeks later, but that is absolutely the way the Agile development is going to happen. The decision to change will be pushed by the business case for making the change, eDiscovery will be a second thought, if a thought at all.

    That means two things in my mind in addition to the things Greg lays out in his post below.

    1. You have to test, test, test. Constantly. You have to stay on top of new features, old feature changes, undocumented changes, etc.

    2. The legal industry as a whole is going to have to get a lot more comfortable with “good faith efforts” being a little more of a gray area as these changes get made. What we could collect easily before, may require a lot more time and effort today, or it may not be possible today because of a bug in a recent update.

    It’s going to happen. Whether you want to talk about M365, Google, cloud document management, cloud review platforms, or even cloud backups. Things will happen beyond our ability to control them, and those things will impact eDiscovery. Are we going to be OK accepting that?

  • Recycling

    I spent part of Saturday morning taking some of our old equipment to the local county solid waste authority’s computer recycling drive. They do a couple of these a year, and it’s a good way to get rid of monitors, printers and other hardware that simply doesn’t work any more or doesn’t serve a purpose…

  • Rockin’ good time

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s Monday, it’s not even 10 o’clock in the morning and already I’ve got people whining and bitching. The best part, you set a database to do a certain thing, have it that way for years, get everyone used to it working that way, and then, after all this time, a VP decides that’s not…
