How do I figure out the ROI on contracting Computer Forensic Services?
(Return on Investment) A. If you are thinking about performing this type of work yourself or using your corporate IT department or local computer technician, consider the internal dollar cost and possibility of your evidence being tossed out because of the method in which it was acquired the qualifications of those who worked on it, or personal and business associations your staff might have with the subject. The internal cost is not only the time you or other people spend performing this work but also taking them away from their assigned responsibilities and the time spent in writing reports, (a 40 GB hard drive can have over 9,101,420 pages of data) possible Interrogatories & depositions, other internal issues, gossip spreading and loss of work productivity. All these may occur and can affect you, your business and most importantly: the outcome of your case or situation.
