Half of E-discovery Professionals Use No Project Management Software In-house, really!?

According to an informal poll conducted by Venio Systems, 45.6% of \"e-discovery respondents\" use no project management software in house. Here are the poll results as posted in the LinkedIn Electronic Discovery Group (linked page requires registration):

Venio Systems publishes past polls on its Web site, but as of the time I wrote this, this poll is not yet up on their site, so I can't link directly to it [UPDATE: the poll is now available on the Venio Systems Web site: http://www.veniosystems.com/?mod=news&act=detail&id=45&cid=11].

If these are lawyers and law firms responding to this poll, I'd be impressed that so many are using project management software. Given the readership of the Electronic Discovery Group, however, I expect that most of the \"e-discovery respondents\" are in-house or service bureau litigation support professionals. If my hunch is correct, then I'm am shocked that the percentage is so LOW. 

Perhaps the issue is with how one defines \"project management software.\" The poll instructions, as far as I know, did not define what project management software is. Of those who answered that they do use project management software, it is interesting to me how many are using hosted solutions. I'd be interested in whether any respondents are including services like Basecamp, which I don't consider to be a professional project management application, but which is frequently listed under the heading of \"project management\" (example).

I'm also interest in what respondents consider to be \"proprietary project management software.\" Do Access databases and customized Share Point sites count?

This poll prompted me to consider creating a far more detailed poll on project management software, systems, and standards used by legal project managers. If I can find a free, on-line survey tool that would support the type of complex survey I'd like to create, I'll set it up and announce it here. If you have any survey solutions to recommend, please post about them in the comments.
