eDiscovery Solutions

The exponential growth of email and instant messaging as the primary forms of communication amongst corporate and legal professionals has highlighted the inadequacy of traditional storage processes. Existing in-house storage systems and backup tapes/servers are brimming with email messages, attachments and instant messages that require an effective electronic discovery system to satisfy a host of legal, privacy and regulatory mandates.

Unfortunately, many companies may be the target of lawsuits or choose to initiate litigation, which will require immediate access to historical electronic information, as email can be legally admissible as evidence in a lawsuit. Additionally, Courts are enforcing document demands to produce electronic records, and produce them promptly. The costs associated with retrieving ‘deleted' data or information stored on unsophisticated backup systems can be enormous. Extensive deletion policies are not the answer either, as the costs associated with not being able to produce records at all can often result in greater penalties and biases in court.

1. unify and manage all documents from a central location
