Technology Resource Panel

The mission of the Technology Resource Panel is to provide input to the Working Groups when they are working on an issue involving the use of technology or services provided by electronic discovery or electronic information governance service providers, and to help create tools and solutions that will benefit the entire marketplace. The Technology Resource Panel was formed in the belief that a well-informed marketplace, speaking in the same language, will ultimately lead to reduced transaction costs for all parties, higher quality, and greater predictability.

The Technology Resource Panel consists of two halves: a "User Group," a sub-group of Working Group 1, whose members regularly negotiate and work with service providers; and a panel of service provider members, who have agreed to work with the User Group's output, and who provide input along the way. The Technology Resource Panel has published The Sedona Conference Glossary for E-Discovery and Digital Information Management, now in its fourth edition, and Guidance for the Selection of Electronic Discovery Providers, and has other projects in progress, including a mobile application for the Glossary and other publications of The Sedona Conference. The goal of these publications is to help users of eDiscovery service providers to develop business engagements in this area in a manner that allows for more effective communication between user and provider, enhanced by the ability to compare "apples to apples", and ultimately reduce transaction costs and create more predictable outcomes in this area. In addition, our Working Groups often call upon the Technology Resource Panel to vet works in progress to ensure they are technologically accurate and neutral.

The topics are to ensure the Sedona tradition of open and respectful dialogue, and must not constitute commercial promotion.
