Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for electronic discovery management. In one implementation, a staging path from source(s) to a staging area in a target location is generated automatically in connection with a collection request. Criteria for the collection request is obtained automatically and an encrypted export key for the collection request is captured using first robot(s). An export of a responsive data collection is obtained automatically from the source(s) using the first robot(s). The responsive data collection is exported along the staging path based on the criteria and the encrypted export key. An image of the responsive data collection is generated in the target location by sending parameter(s) to second robot(s), and the collection request is fulfilled by triggering a compression of the image of the responsive data collection into forensic container(s) using the second robot(s).
