Without a doubt, the invention of the computer totally changed the habits of the human populations. This computing machine has made office work easier, more efficient, more productive, and more accurate. It has climbed high since its invention and is widely used in government, businesses, commerce, and education. The vast applications of this machine seem endless. Anent to this came computer related crimes which spawned a new breed of investigators that handle Ediscovery Jobs.

This system is defined as a procedure where electronic information is searched, gathered, located, and secured for the purpose of using it as proof in litigation. The formal name of this process is the electronic discovery reference model. This was first developed in two thousand and five with many inputs from both private and public sectors including but not limited to suppliers of tools and users.

Digitally created articles like those kept in computers, mobile devices, and storage media are extremely important in the investigation of a variety of crimes. Law enforcement agencies are responsible for policing these activities and making sure that suspects will have their day in court. These fragile gadgets and devices flood the market and its minimal cost has increased the size of digital information.

Investigative job descriptions are trying to stay in step with this trend. The traditional way of examining every bit of detailed evidence takes a lot of time. With limited resources to be directed at tasks, the pieces of evidence have to lie dormant waiting for it to be examined, or the effort put in the examination must be distributed among a very few individuals that have the necessary qualifications.

Retrieving content from computing machines and storage gadgets like the memory chip, external drives, and universal serial bus tools is a highly technical job which needs tools, training, and experience to be handled efficiently. The person doing the work may not be conscious about some details of the examination so their work needs to be guided by facts provided to them by the investigating team.

The apportionment of craft and knowledge between the forensic examiner and investigators can cause ineffective procedures that are time consuming and hard. Supplying investigators with fast avenues to digital information that they can comprehend and tackle may substantially improve the system. The legal profession has many ways of handling these which can be learned by forensics practitioners.

How the legal profession handles electronically stored business documents is known within legal circles as electronic discovery. In coordination with police authorities. Some companies conducted commercial product assessment using this novel approach in reviewing large amounts of data. This showed some surprising differences in the new tools approach and the standard crime investigation method in handling digital proof.

With the businesses, governments, and individuals relying more and more on digital media and the affordability of storage equipment, plenty of organizations have piled up large volumes of digital archives. This is more than what paper based systems accumulated. Trying to retrieve information from these archives in a systematic manner is very time consuming.

Content integrity, digital, and electronic forensics are sometimes interchanged. These terms are so closely related that it really is difficult to differentiate one from the other. But to give you an idea, digital and data integrity forensics deals more on criminal cases that involves examination and analysis of digital evidence that is not ordinarily used and visible. It is a determination of how a culprit used content and devices. Electronic discovery, on the other hand, is a process that involves the identification and preservation of electronically stored knowledge.
