Got Data?  Not Email, Data!

When is the last time you’ve asked yourself if you’ve GOT DATA?  Not email, Word or PowerPoints, but good old-fashioned raw structured data.  The kind of data that equates to a digital breadcrumb trail that Hansel and Gretel only wished they could have had.  Investigations and litigation alike have been hyper-focused on solving the “explosion of email” problem while there are richer and often more impactful data sets at our fingertips.  These have been avoided because “databases are hard” or “there are so many records and different kinds.”  This should…this needs to change.  These type of data sources offer context – evidentiary value that cannot be found in the content.  Data can help you tell your client’s story.

• Orientate: Why does it matter?
• Identify: What data is where?
• Prioritize: What are scope and cost considerations?
• Collect: How do you get the data?
• Analyze: How to transform data to knowledge?
• Produce: How is structured data different?

We will wrap up with tips from the presenters based on their decades of experience.

“Analytics is the ability to…draw from all kinds of information and turn it into a story.”
