Association of Corporate Investigators
Short form messages are quick-fire conversational exchanges via a messaging or social application like Slack or Microsoft Teams. The prevalence of short message data in legal review is escalating at an exponential rate. In Relativity, short message data has increased more than 430% year-over-year and is expected to surpass the number of emails by 2024.
While short messages have helped businesses become more efficient, the data they generate can be difficult to export and process – creating a complex roadblock for legal teams and investigators.
Conversations about a single topic can flow across platforms or different sub-channels within the same platform and involve multiple parties – who can be added and removed at varying points in time. These conversations can also include shorthand or non-text responses like emojis and GIFs – making their exports unstructured and tricky to decode.
In partnership with Relativity, this webinar explores the critically defensible ways to collect and review short form messaging – a challenge set to irrefutably intensify as chat platforms gain a stronghold across daily business communications.
