Linked: Dancing with tools
The implications of what Seth has to say about tools like Google Sheets when it comes to eDiscovery technology are pretty obvious to me. “If you get good at a type of technology, you’ll find yourself using it often.

Linked: Ongoing M365 Tenant Upgrades/Migrations
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.

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.

If this is you, you really should take their advice, and go learn something about eDiscovery technology. Have you ever been involved in a meet and confer regarding electronically stored information and felt your adversary was speaking a foreign language? Is active machine learning an unfamiliar concept to you? Is BYOD an acronym for who-knows-what?…
