E-Discovery
Legal Discovery and using Mail Archive Email Archiving
The growing cost of e-discovery, compounded by new regulations such as the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP),
has changed the way businesses must deal with email. To be prepared for legal discovery, a business must know where all their email data is
stored, and be able to search through and retrieve that data in a short period of time. They must also apply a consistent
email retention policy,
and have a way to enforce a litigation hold by preventing data from being deleted if necessary.
For companies that allow PSTs and rely on backup tapes to store historical email, both the cost and time involved in meeting these
requirements can be very high. Exposure to legal risk is also significant, with missing or corrupt data resulting in spoliation of
evidence. This can lead to costly fines, guilty verdicts and damaged reputations.
Mail Archive email archiving makes it easy to respond to
e-discovery requests
and meet the requirements of the FRCP by:
 |
Storing all email and attachments in a central repository |
|
Through real-time search, simple tagging and retrieval process |
|
Following clearly outlined retention policies |
|
Enforcing litigation and legal holds |
|
Enabling early case assessment and full e-discovery requests |
|
|
|
| |
Execute complex e-discovery searches in seconds
When email becomes evidence, the ability to quickly search all historical email provides a competitive advantage. Mail Archive
makes it easy to search selected mailboxes or the entire environment using any search criteria. Perform searches across headers,
body, subject, and attachment to accelerate decisions.
Early Case Assessment
It doesn't matter if you are being sued for $1000 or $100 million, the first question to ask yourself is do they have a case. Next,
you need to consider how you are going to manage the case, control its costs and evaluate the impact on your business. The key to
managing litigation lies in your ability to take control of the case. One of the most efficient ways to manage litigation is to
conduct an "early case assessment". Early case assessment provides you with a preliminary analysis of the legal merits of the case,
claims, and likely defenses.
