eDISCOVERY

The #1 Legal Concern

In today’s litigious world, the ability to rapidly and thoroughly search historical email provides a competitive advantage. When email becomes evidence, is your eDiscovery search capability a competitive advantage or a liability? Finding the true extent of problem email in minutes gives management and counsel a real advantage and can save billions. Conversely, having to load tape to search and compile thousands of possible messages for manual review can cost millions of dollars, and more importantly, take several months to complete.

In the past, thorough eDiscovery could take months and costs could soar into the millions of dollars. The Active Archiving Service makes it easy for legal counsel to search selected mailboxes or the entire environment using any search criteria. The Active Archiving Service for Email is one of the most comprehensive eDiscovery tools and enables you to:

  • Complete any global eDiscovery request in under a second. Delegated users and IT staff can perform global sub-second searches of messages and 370 types of attachments over millions of messages. Search across headers, body, subject, file names, and attachment contents. The speed of the Active Archiving Service’s search is unmatched in the archive industry.
  • Implement more effective searches using finely tuned criteria. The Active Archiving Service enables you to narrow searches to specific topics, individuals, and groups to avoid being overcome with unnecessary data. Search with an easy to use interface or detailed Boolean operations.
  • Uniquely delegate scoped reviewer search authority. Bounded search authority can be delegated to legal staff or any appropriate user to eliminate the costly delays, common in alternative archiving solutions, that occur when counsel must repeatedly request and refine search criteria for execution by the IT staff. Scoped review controls limit searchers by any criteria including sender, recipient, date range, content, or any other metadata.
  • Find all relevant email across all aliases with Active Directory integration. Unlike most email eDiscovery systems, the Active Archiving Service integrates with Active Directory (AD) to find all aliases and distribution lists for search and legal holds. AD integration is also used to automatically set and modify retention policies, and add or transfer users and groups.
  • Easily manage legal holds. Legal holds can be set by user or group covering all aliases and distribution lists. Holds can be forward or backwards looking and released messages are automatically deleted according to prevailing retention rules.
  • Change retention policies and add legal holds at any time. The Active Archiving Service’s sophisticated and flexible policy engine is the only solution that enables companies to set retention policies of any length, by user, group or server, and change them at any time to provide complete retention policy management. The Active Archiving Service provides a complete audit trail of all activities, including permission and policy changes.
  • Provide tamper-proof archives. With the growing eDiscovery requirements most organizations face, proving that email searches are thorough and that documents have not been modified is increasingly becoming a challenge. The Active Archiving Service acts as a tamper-proof, third party custodian for email archives that provides a complete audit trail of all activities, including permission and policy changes
