The spooky season is here — but for legal teams still relying on traditional mobile data collection methods, every day can feel like Halloween. Between the logistical nightmares, financial fright, and privacy scares, it’s no wonder that outdated collection workflows send shivers down the spine of even the most seasoned eDiscovery professionals.
Let’s dim the lights and step inside the haunted house of traditional data collection — if you dare.
- The Phantom of Overcollection
Ever heard something go bump in the night? That’s the sound of overcollection haunting your case.
Traditional workflows often scoop up entire phone images — thousands of irrelevant photos, messages, and apps — when all you needed was a single conversation. The result? Bloated data sets, ballooning costs, and a discovery process full of ghost data no one wants to review and retain.
ModeOne’s remote, targeted approach exorcises that demon. We collect only what’s relevant, leaving the digital cobwebs behind.
- The Logistics Labyrinth
Shipping devices, scheduling on-site visits, waiting days (or weeks) for results — welcome to the Labyrinth of Lost Time. Every twist and turn adds delay, confusion, and expense. While your case deadlines creep closer, your team is still chasing tracking numbers and waiting for examiners to appear like ghosts in the night.With ModeOne, collections happen remotely — often within hours, not days. No shipping, no travel, no waiting. Just secure, same-day results that get you out of the maze and back to your case.
- The Cost Vampire
Traditional collections drain more than your time — they drain your budget. Between examiner travel, overnight shipping, and manual imaging fees, each collection can bleed thousands of dollars before you even touch a byte of usable data. ModeOne puts a stake through those hidden costs. Our automated, cloud-based workflow slashes expenses and delivers predictable pricing with no surprises lurking in the shadows.
- The Zombie Devices
Custodians forced to part with their phones? That’s a compliance nightmare waiting to rise from the dead. When devices vanish into overnight shipping boxes, productivity dies and anxiety spikes. Traditional methods often leave custodians frustrated and uncooperative — slowing your entire review process. ModeOne keeps devices alive and well. Our remote workflow allows custodians to keep their phones in-hand, maintaining privacy, productivity, and peace of mind while we collect only what’s necessary.
- The Mask of Insecurity
Not all monsters hide under the bed — some hide in unsecured workflows. Full-device imaging increases exposure risk, creating countless opportunities for sensitive or privileged data to escape. ModeOne’s privacy-first model keeps your data where it belongs — encrypted, limited to scope, and never stored longer than necessary. Our defensible, repeatable process ensures your collections stay secure, compliant, and court-ready.
Conclusion: Escape the Horror
This Halloween, don’t let your collection process be the scariest part of your case. ModeOne’s remote, same-day, and privacy-secure collections eliminate the fear factor — replacing logistical chaos with clarity and confidence. The only thing you should be afraid of? Continuing to collect the old way.
