Unifying Advancing E-Discovery Management
Exterro Fusion enables both legal and IT teams to establish consistent, repeatable business processes for managing complex caseloads across all EDRM phases. A highlight of the newest advancements includes:

  • Expanded global enterprise readiness. To help multinational clients maintain greater control of their global e-discovery operations, the Exterro Fusion platform has been upgraded with the following:
    • Distributed collection centers that support the global search of ESI with localized collections for greater load balancing, improved network performance and enhanced foreign jurisdiction compliance
    • Enhanced, multi-language support that enables a client's users to interact with the Exterro Fusion platform in their desired language
    • Custom labeling that allows local, company-specific terminology to be incorporated into the Exterro Fusion platform for improved ease of use
  • Proactive intelligence. The upgrades deliver greater visibility into multiple aspects of e-discovery operations for real-time decision making and budgetary management, including:
    • Matter 360° -- Exterro's new dashboard interface that provides a high-level summary and chronological view of the e-discovery matter life cycle by phase
    • Master custodial-level reports that offer complete details of custodians and their data sources
    • Email threading, which offers insight into potentially missing emails during in-place ECA and later stage review analysis
  • Advanced preservation control. Powerful advancements have been made to Fusion Legal Hold™, including:
    • Client-driven silent legal hold establishment and release, which is critical to internal investigations and prevents alerting a custodian about confidential legal matters
    • HR and matter management integration, which enables the legal hold creator to view historical, current and future custodian employment status changes and departures
    • Custodian interview integration which adds the ability to attach a custodian interview, as well as supporting documents, to a legal hold notice
