ENTERPRISE LITIGATION SUPPORT
Get Litigation Ready^® with Index Engines

Identifying and collecting electronically stored information (ESI) is becoming more of a challenge.  Data volumes are growing significantly.  The source of the content is becoming more complex, and the timeframes for collection are being compressed.  Litigation support professionals are constantly under the gun to produce the data required for the legal teams in challenging timeframes and with more and more precision.

Solution:

Early case assessment, delivering quick and detailed knowledge of sensitive data has become critical for any legal department that wants to be prepared with the knowledge they need to win the case.  Litigation support professionals require flexible solutions to identify and collect ESI from a wide range of sources, quickly and accurately.

Sources of collection today have expanded beyond user desktops and forensic images, to large network servers and legacy backup tapes.  Using a single platform to index, search and extract ESI from all these sources is critical to meeting deadlines.  With a single solution, searching can be performed across multiple sources, de-duping the content, and then quickly culling large volumes of data, to get the relevant set of results that is far more defensible versus using multiple tools.

It is important to select identification and collection platform that also supports backup tapes.  Backup tapes have been neglected as a source of ESI in the past; however they have quickly become a reliable and convenient source of ESI.  Backup tapes are a point in time snapshot of user data and emails.  It is far more convenient to collect data from tape than from a live production environment.  Many litigation support professionals are now realizing the benefits of tape, and taking advantage of its convenience, now that the costs and time for access to data on tape has decreased significantly and are in some cases less expensive versus collecting from production environments.
