eDiscovery

eDiscovery is becoming much more important in the context of civil litigation. For example, roughly three out of four discovery orders today require email to be produced as part of the discovery process. A recent US study concluded that eDiscovery today represents 35% of the total cost of litigation and companies that fail to produce emails in a timely or appropriate manner face the risk of paying millions of dollars in sanctions and fines, not to mention loss of corporate reputation, lost revenue and embarrassment.

Implementing an appropriate eDiscovery capability is critical to the long-term viability of any organisation, particularly larger ones that face a greater chance of being involved in civil litigation. Searching is a key component of the eDiscovery process but, with traditional approaches, the huge amount of unclassifed data that is returned needs to be sifted and sorted. We can demonstrate how our information retrieval simplifies the eDiscovery process.

eDiscovery Challenges:

Large volumes of data
Different sources and file types
Siloed repositories and sometimes legacy
More regulations
Manual, complex and time consuming processes

Conducting discovery of email typically consists of searching the messaging server for all active messages, restoring backup tapes to retrieve messages stored on lower-cost media and collecting personal archive folders (PST or NSF files) from users’ desktops or other network locations. With KnowledgeMill OnePlace, running eDiscovery is simpler than executing a search. You are one click away from all data relating to a particular customer, client, project or matter. Using our technology allows you to quickly view the relevant material and generate the required output for the request.

So how will our technology help you? As our unique and innovative approach separates business related content from all other, a previously daunting becomes easily managed. Business related content is now easily identified and preserved. It can then be collected very simply by authorised staff and moved to any location for review and analysis. Once the material is ready, it can be provided extremely easily to the requestor. Just as importantly, this refined and reviewed material can be fed back into the system and retained for future use.

Instantaneous search and retrieve	Instantaneous search and retrieval on multiple dimensions from “User”, “Email Address” or “Company Email Domain” to specific date periods or contexts (e.g. Matter, Deal or Client) or even content based on keywords.
Immediate restoration	Once located, content can be restored immediately back into an Exchange email account, Personal Archive “PST” file or Microsoft Message Format “MSG”s on a file system.
