Organizations keep information in a wide variety of systems, each with its own file formats, retention policy and backup strategy. This mishmash of systems makes it difficult to answer seemingly simple questions such as:

The need for knowledge

In litigation, the race to find the relevant facts can shape an entire case strategy. Organizations have been known to accept out-of-court settlements or fines because it would cost less than finding and producing relevant information to prove their case.

 

Information managers, auditors, investigators and security professionals need to understand what information an organization possesses and where it resides. However, most organizations lack the capability to search systematically across their unstructured and semi-structured data.

 

Knock over difficult data

Smart companies know better. They harness advanced eDiscovery technology to process and interrogate difficult data sets quickly, no matter how much data is involved or in how many systems and locations it is stored.

 

For eDiscovery, this means acting from a position of strength, shortening the lifespan of investigations and empowering legal teams to quickly devise a winning case strategy.

 

For information managers, it means the ability to make strategic decisions by having a complete and thorough understanding of all data in their possession.
