EDRM – the Electronic Discovery Reference Model - was created to develop guidelines and standards for e-discovery consumers and providers.

Through the group’s creation of the original model, which outlines the key processes and steps involved with e-discovery, to its development of an XML standard so that e-discovery products can interoperate, EDRM has helped e-discovery consumers and providers reduce the cost, time and manual work associated with e-discovery.

In its on-going effort to provide guidelines and standards, EDRM continues to update and expand the original model with six projects for the 2008-2009 year.
