How to know when it’s time to break up with your legacy discovery software

Sign #1: You're afraid to ask for more.

Legacy platforms are often no longer supported by a development team, meaning modern updates are non-existent or prohibitively expensive. Plus, compared with modern, SaaS-based solutions, you may already be paying 10x more than you should for your legacy discovery software.

Sign #2: Your needs aren't being met.

Simply put, if your platform doesn't have end-to-end discovery capabilities, your needs are not currently being met. Stop wasting valuable time stuck in an old software relationship that isn't meeting your requirements.

Sign #3: You feel obligated to stay... at your desk.

If your discovery software is installed on your desktop, it is keeping you and your team tied to a single location. Imagine how liberating it would feel to have access to your discovery results from anywhere, even in the courtroom.

Sign #4: You put more work into your relationship than your discovery software does.

Is working on discovery with your current software filled with repetitive, manual processes? Your discovery software should be working just as hard as you are. Consider what tasks could be automated. Or better yet, work with a software partner that has created these automations for you.

Sign #5: You don't like your discovery software.

We know, you've probably invested time and effort into your current relationship with your discovery software. But let's face it, the user interface probably feels like it was developed in the early 90s. You deserve to work with discovery software that is so easy-to-use that you'll instantly fall in love.
