-- Analysis: Improved user interface and analysis tools. Kazeon eMail thread management links related email messages to provide a complete chronology of entire email discussions, including replies, forwards, CCs and BCCs. Thread viewing quickly identifies all relevant aspects of the discussion, showing who knew what and when they knew it. Through Kazeon's search interface, users can quickly and effectively evaluate ESI to analyze content based on summary and detail reports, metadata analysis, key players, strings, key topics and other subject matter. Users may then take an appropriate action directly from the search interface. -- Collection: Kazeon provides unique Single Step Collection™ technology that allows extremely rapid, targeted collections of ESI for review and analysis. Kazeon enables companies to conduct targeted collections to address very specific matters, as well as broad collections of ESI from multiple sources and locations. Kazeon retains ESI in its native format and users can easily apply litigation hold to documents and emails, copying ESI to a secure location only accessible by authorized users. -- Preservation: Legal hold features ensure that ESI is protected from destruction and alterations. Kazeon gives users features to architect defensible preservation protocols using either "staging areas" for litigation holds and initiating in-place holds. Kazeon's extensible technology also allows companies to leverage their existing investments to secure ESI to compliant storage devices and archive applications such as Symantec Enterprise Vault, Plasmon UDO Archive, NetApp Snaplock and EMC Centera. -- Processing: To help narrow the scope and cull ESI, Kazeon provides a set of pre-configured report templates and an advanced search interface. Kazeon has extensive duplicate management features, including de- duplication of content during the collection process to reduce over- collection. Additionally, Kazeon can de-duplicate during the processing & culling phase by enabling "Smart Tagging" to eliminate identical, non- responsive documents in bulk without having to individually tag and eliminate them. Users can quickly run summary and detailed reports against the information, quickly identifying duplicates and unnecessary documents and emails based on reports and search, including: advanced, fuzzy, proximity, custodian, date range, keyword and concept searches utilizing multiple search terms. Because the Kazeon interface allows users to take action on data, users can easily and safely remove duplicate and unnecessary information from the collected data set directly from the report and search interface. -- eMail Support: Kazeon now has the broadest set of eMail capabilities in support of customer eDiscovery requirements, including native connectivity to Microsoft Exchange servers, Microsoft Exchange and SMTP- based Internet eMail journals, PST, OST, MSG and EML files and native connectivity to Symantec Enterprise Vault archives.Combined with the Information Server's existing features, Kazeon's customers have the lowest price per document and price per terabyte for eDiscovery requests in the industry.
