eDiscovery Manager can help your organization:

Mitigate escalating discovery costs—by streamlining and safeguarding the electronic discovery process. eDiscovery Manager helps you respond to discovery requests cost-effectively and with agility.
Preserve your electronically stored information (ESI) evidence—in a security-rich, traceable, high-scale, trusted evidence repository that includes chain-of-custody tracking. eDiscovery Manager also enables defensible information disposal.
Organize ESI, email and other content—to further reduce discovery costs and risks.

Mitigate escalating discovery costs

Users can work through an intuitive web-based interface to quickly gain access to and early insight into case-related content, proactively formulating their discovery plans within their meet-and-confer schedules.
They can create new cases, work on existing cases, save searches to share with other authorized users and schedule searches for increased productivity.
Legal staff can also manage cases while preserving the chain of custody for documents in individual case repositories.
Using the eDiscovery Manager high-volume search capability, IT and legal staff can sift through millions of pieces of content, including email and other documents, and automatically select the most relevant ESI set for a particular case.

Preserve your ESI evidence

eDiscovery Manager provides an access- and change-tracking repository. This feature demonstrates authenticity and addresses chain-of-custody requirements at the case level.
The solution maintains a robust audit trail that can be exported and used in court to support the admissibility of ESI as evidence.
Comprehensive security controls, enabled by dynamic roles, supply granular control of case tasks.
An automated hold capability allows users to preserve ESI. This helps minimize the chance of spoliation sanctions and accidental deletions.

Organize ESI, email and other content

eDiscovery Manager can help address the underlying discovery issue in most organizations—terabytes of uncontrolled ESI.
It supports a scalable enterprise content management platform that delivers integrated content collection, classification, records management, content analytics and discovery process automation.
Your organization can keep its ESI volume under control while delivering agile, defensible litigation responses.
