ENTERPRISE LEGAL 
Get Litigation Ready^® with Index Engines

Organizations have been storing too much electronic data, including email and documents that have been around for more than 20 years.  Most of this content has been saved on servers and offline backup tapes, created for disaster recovery.  As the data ages, it fades into the background and is long forgotten.  New technologies have made this data, including legacy content, more accessible.  The courts understand this and are frequently requesting data from these legacy environments.  The undue burden argument, with respect to the collection of user data in support of litigation, has become less and less effective.  Companies must act now, become more knowledgeable of what they have stored, and manage it more efficiently.  Information governance strategies must be implemented, and data retention policies that include legacy content, put into effect.

Solution:

Organizations must be able to identify, collect and manage user documents and emails according to corporate policies.  Securing sensitive contracts, intellectual property and email communications and purging what is no longer required, needs to be enabled so that legal teams can quickly respond to current and future litigation and protect the corporation from liability.  Delivering legal teams with a view into current as well as legacy corporate data is critical for the support of active litigation and regulatory requirements, but also for early case assessments before legal strategies are locked and commitments are made.

Index Engines Approach:

Index Engines solution's have been deployed by organizations worldwide to provide detailed knowledge of their data assets so they can apply policy, and take action, hence managing liability.  Index Engines solutions provide the following:

ACCESS - The only solution that searches across all enterprise content, from network data to legacy backup tapes and archives.  The data on user's desktops and file servers is just a small portion of what exists in the enterprise.  Corporate IT departments have been backing up data for disaster recovery for years.  This data has been archived and stored for safe keeping.  Index Engines is the only solution that enables search across current user data, along with legacy data hidden away on backup tapes.  Without Index Engines solutions, you are compromising the discovery, by only managing a small portion of the data and ignoring the hidden liability of legacy content.

EFFICIENCY - Designed with large scale enterprise deployments in mind, Index Engines is the fastest indexing platform on the market today and can efficiently scan corporate data, indexing the content making it searchable.  Automated queries, which represent policies, monitor the data sources and rapidly deliver sensitive content to legal when it is needed.  This efficiency allows quick access to sensitive data.

COST EFFECTIVE - With complete knowledge of the data, including legacy content archived on backup tapes, legal teams can now apply policy and remediate a large percentage of historical content that is no longer required.  Typically this process will recoup legacy data storage costs and simplify the management of corporate data centers.  Companies will find that Index Engines solutions will pay for itself within a year by trimming the amount of data a corporation stores, as well as by helping to mange long term liability.
