Ediscovery News & Articles

HP Autonomy has announced several significant enhancements to its market-leading e-Discovery offering, helping organizations automate and simplify processing of large, diverse data sets.

Data management, analysis and governance solutions provider Recommind has released Axcelerate EasyUpload, a cloud based tool that helps with the management and transfer of electronically stored information (ESI).

Unless one of the other vendors slips a sneaky acquisition under the door by the end of the year, the announcement by IBM that it is buying StoredIQ early in the new year has to be the last throw in consolidation of the information management market for this year.

Microsoft has joined in the e-Discovery fray, now pushing a unified offering across the entire Office platform. At the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, I sat in a session by Quentin Christensen, Program Manager at Microsoft, to see exactly what features will be available to end users.

Thanks to the rise of Big Data, the process of eDiscovery has become more important to the enterprise. While there are there are many tools and platforms that make it easier and faster to sift through Big Data, have you ever really seen your data? Catalyst says that they have the solution.

Stacks of boxes, reams of paper, wads of paperclips and rubber bands…these are olden days of discovery. Enter: the personal computer. Everything has changed; well, almost everything.

Let’s start with a question. Who knows you best? Your spouse, friend, boss or… Google? Admit it, you know the answer. Google has the ability to capture, store and use all your likes, interests, purchases, comments, documents, emails, photos, personal information and aesthetic preferences. This collection of data is known in the cyber world as your personal data profile. Depending on its contents, your data profile could be very helpful or very damaging.

Last week, Index Engines provided its take on how to best prepare and manage corporate data. The discussion didn’t end there, however. Today, Symantec released its 2011 Information Retention and e-Discovery Survey, which examined the retention policies of the enterprise. The survey reveals that  email is no longer the most commonly requested records companies must produce -- further complicating the way information and the kinds of information are managed. 

We thought this was the perfect opportunity to have Symantec weigh in. We asked Greg Muscarella, senior director of product management for Symantec’s Information Management Group, the same three questions about how to effectively manage your corporate data. 

A new report from Symantec shows that retention policies are still not fully developed within companies, leaving many unprepared to handle increased requests for information.

Earlier this year, Science Express published researchers’ calculations of the world's total technological capacity in an effort to determine how much information humankind is able to store, communicate and compute. What they found indicated that humankind is able to store at least 295 exabytes of information. It’s unclear how much of that information accounts for redundancy or duplication, however.

In March, we told you about Recommind’s new predictive coding website, which provides online resources dedicated to explaining and demonstrating Recommind’s predictive coding capabilities for expedited document review. This week, Recommind received a patent for its predictive coding process, a move that gives Recommind, its customers and its partners exclusive rights to use, host and sell systems and processes for iterative, computer-expedited document review.

Looking for an e-Discovery tool that encompasses the entire process in a way that’s not just efficient but also give gives IT and Legal teams more control? This week, BIA introduced TotalDiscovery.com, a SaaS e-Discovery application that gives IT complete visibility over the discovery process.

Need an e-Discovery solution that reflects perspectives of both the IT and legal departments? The search may be over. Today, Exterro released a new data management layer for its integrated solution suite. Fusion Zeta is an automated, easy-to-administer application designed to handle in-place early case assessment, preservation, collection and analysis. But perhaps most importantly, it gives legal teams 360-degree access into the entire e-discovery process, while eliminating the chaos of manual processes.

With some concern, we wondered what Nuance (news, site) could add to OmniPage that it hasn't crammed into any of the 17 previous editions. Panic not, there's lot of good new stuff for those drowning in paper documents.

Information archiving does not consist only of storing data, but rather more powerful data management, which includes search, retrieval and analysis. MessageSolution's (news, site) latest SaaS release features advanced management functionality for Lotus Domino Application-based environments, as well as for other systems.
