the Free CMSWire NewsletterIn GRC this week there have been a number of releases in the e-Discovery space, including a StoredIQ solution for SharePoint and enhanced search across Clearwell's e-Discovery platform. There are also indications that we may be heading toward an e-Discovery standard. Meanwhile, both Viewpointe and Agiliance have issued new releases.
Stored IQ e-Discovery for SharePoint
E-Discovery vendor StoredIQ (news, site) has strengthened its integration with SharePoint to include e-Discovery and information governance for two additional features of SharePoint 2010: User Profiles and Versioning.
Since SharePoint 2010 was released last May, vendors have been building integrations for the platform as the amount of information that is being loaded into it grows at an alarming rate.
Alarming, that is, if you have no way of monitoring that information. For companies using SharePoint 2010 that have large and consistent e-Discovery demands, anything that helps this process will be welcome.
Most e-Discovery solutions are limited in their visibility and scope to just SharePoint Document Libraries and a subset of metadata. They also lack the intelligence to distinguish between multiple versions of documents, and may return large and inflated data sets for content analysis.
In contrast, the StoredIQ solution supports all core SharePoint object types and associated metadata.
So StoredIQ’s new SharePoint capabilities not only allow you to view User Profiles, but also consolidate the user’s document library, blogs, note boards, and colleagues into one interface.
It now has the capability to search through this version history and show which items are responsive to a query and which are not. StoredIQ’s says its updated SharePoint e-Discovery and information management functionality will be available in this quarter.
Clearwell Adds Conceptual Search
More in the e-Discovery space this week from Clearwell Systems (news, site), which announced that it has extended transparent search technology to concept search, now included as part of its e-Discovery Platform.
With it, Clearwell is introducing new levels of interactivity, relevance and defensibility into the concept search process. According to Clearwell, these elements do not exist in the standard “black box” concept search technologies, resulting in a lack of precision that has hindered widespread adoption of concept search in e-Discovery.
Concept search processes deals with this by enabling users to contextually refine the concept search by previewing the most frequently occurring terms and selecting only the relevant ones.
It also provides a visual interface that enables users to dynamically construct searches by exploring terms and linking them, and automatically documents which terms are included in the Transparent Concept Search.
Transparent Concept Search is offered as part of the Clearwell e-Discovery Platform at no additional charge, and will be available at the end of the first quarter 2011.
E-Discovery Standardization?
Before leaving e-Discovery this week, it looks like there may be moves toward e-Discovery standardization. Earlier this week, we reported that in June, the University of Pittsburgh is expected to host the fourth Discovery of Electronically Stored Information (DESI) workshop.
