Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Venio's eDiscovery platform
Who is this Guide for?
This guide is designed for legal operations leaders, corporate legal teams, law firms, eDiscovery professionals, IT and infrastructure leaders, security teams, government organizations, service providers, and anyone involved in selecting or managing an eDiscovery platform.
What Are the Three eDiscovery Deployment Models Covered?
The guide compares on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment. On-premises provides maximum infrastructure and data control, cloud delivers elastic scale and managed infrastructure, and hybrid combines on-premises control with cloud capacity for organizations with mixed workload and security requirements.
How Do I Know Which Deployment Model Is Right for My Organization?
The guide provides six practical questions to help determine your best fit. These include whether data must remain inside your network, whether residency requirements apply, how quickly matters need to launch, how much your workload fluctuates, what infrastructure you already own, and whether you handle both sensitive and high-volume matters.
Is Cloud eDiscovery Always the Best Option?
No. Cloud is well suited to organizations that need rapid deployment, elastic capacity, and distributed browser-based review. However, organizations with strict data sovereignty, classification, air-gap, or client-mandated requirements may be better served by on-premises or hybrid deployment.
When Does Hybrid eDiscovery Make Sense?
Hybrid is particularly useful when an organization handles different types of matters with different security and capacity requirements. Sensitive investigations can remain on-premises while high-volume processing, analytics, and review can use cloud capacity when needed.
Does Deployment Affect the Features Available in Venio?
No. Venio runs the same codebase, AI models, and workflows across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Teams can use ECA, AI-powered review, production, and legal hold without creating separate feature tiers based on deployment.
Can I Change Deployment Models Later?
Yes. Venio is designed to let organizations start with one deployment model and expand into another without replatforming. Its hybrid architecture allows teams to move data between on-premises and cloud environments while keeping their eDiscovery workflow within the same ecosystem.
