How I learned to stop worrying and love the cloud

With any new technology, one must balance buying into the hype too soon with failure to adapt, and when it came to the application of cloud solutions to ediscovery, I was confident in placing them in the hype category. After a comprehensive nine-month process of vetting virtually every platform on the market, I came to the conclusion that cloud platforms were mostly marketing fluff, providing negligible advantages over on-premise tools. 

This belief persisted over several years. That is, until I looked under the hood of DISCO, and found a platform purpose-built to take advantage of the powerfully scalable and elastic capabilities that are unique to cloud-based neural networks. 

As my recent move to become the Chief Innovation Officer at DISCO should show, I am convinced that not only is now the time to adopt cloud optimized technology, but that those that lag in adoption will find themselves at a major disadvantage compared to those that act decisively. Simply put, I love to win, and DISCO is clearly the winning horse in this race to the next evolution in ediscovery.

I did not come to this revelation lightly, so I wanted to provide the factors and insights that convinced me — and provide background on the neural networks are the catalyst for this shift.
