CaseCentral and StoredIQ Announce Strategic eDiscovery Alliance
Provides Enterprises With End-to-End eDiscovery Solution to Streamline Workflow, Reduce Costs and Minimize Risk
| Source: CaseCentral
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - ACC Annual Meeting -- CaseCentral, the leader in secure,
on-demand eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms looking
to simplify and take control of eDiscovery, and StoredIQ, a leading
provider of Intelligent Information Management and eDiscovery technologies,
today announced a strategic partnership to provide an integrated eDiscovery
offering that ranges from identification, preservation, collection and
processing of electronically stored information (ESI) through analysis,
review, production and post-production re-use. The companies will leverage
the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) XML standard to seamlessly
move ESI from one system to another, which will significantly reduce the
cost of eDiscovery processing.
StoredIQ locates, identifies, indexes and classifies unstructured and
semi-structured data across the industry's broadest range of storage,
email, archiving, content, document and record management systems. StoredIQ
provides ongoing active search and analysis, enabling counsel to analyze
and target data that is potentially responsive to litigation or
investigations across the organization, regardless of where it is
physically located. Using StoredIQ's litigation hold policy, organizations
can preserve responsive data where it is located or copy the data without
changing metadata properties to a retention platform. The potentially
responsive data can be further filtered and de-duplicated before being
produced in a CaseCentral load file. Additionally, for large volumes of
data, StoredIQ supports the ability to perform rolling exports, allowing
legal teams to begin work in CaseCentral before all enterprise data has
been collected, eliminating the delay between collection and review.
The CaseCentral
eDiscovery platform delivers early case assessment (ECA) with close
proximity to active review, meaning that no export of data to other tools
is required. Clients may rapidly create a new case for active review
directly from within the ECA application, increasing consistency and
decreasing cost and time. Users can take full advantage of CaseCentral's
vast collaborative features, flexible review functionality and reporting
metrics as well as a new, simple to use, grid interface and TIFF on
Demand. As documents are designated, reviewers can again take advantage of
near-duplication, advanced email threading and classification to speed
review and ensure consistent document handling -- even comparing
related-document tags dynamically to identify documents that may be
produced in one case and withheld in another. CaseCentral delivers these
benefits with centralized data management and enterprise-class security,
reducing the risks typically borne by corporations when they transmit
proprietary and confidential data outside the firewall to multiple law
firms and service providers.
"CaseCentral uniquely enables clients to bring repeatability, measurability
and defensibility to their eDiscovery processes," said Chris Kruse, vice
president of business development, CaseCentral. "By partnering with
StoredIQ, our customers will be able to create end-to-end, streamlined
eDiscovery processes, reducing both cost and risk."
"This partnership combines two proven technologies that span the entire
electronic discovery life cycle," said Ursula Talley, vice president of
marketing at StoredIQ. "Enterprises reap the benefit of a faster, more
efficient discovery process, while ensuring the integrity of data and chain
of custody throughout."
