eDiscovery Process Manager 2.0 enables corporate legal departments to leverage existing investments in IBM ECM systems.
Electronic Evidence Discovery, Inc. (EED), a leading international provider of ediscovery services, has announced the upcoming availability of eDiscovery Process Manager 2.0 (eDPM 2.0). When combined with the technology and expertise of IBM's industry-leading enterprise content management platform, eDPM 2.0 enables corporate legal organizations to effectively and efficiently manage the evidence discovery lifecycle. This is the first custodian notification application to support the IBM (FileNet) P8 4.0 platform, the company says.
The strategic alignment of ediscovery software on existing enterprise content management (ECM) platforms enables corporate legal departments to effectively preserve electronic content for compliance, investigation, and potential litigation needs while avoiding additional expenses. Significant savings in time and reduction of risk are the key benefits of automating the custodian notification process with EED's expanded support for IBM's ECM platform.
"Efficient, systematic, error-free ediscovery can mean the difference between success and failure in litigation," said Robert A. Cruz, director of business alliances at EED. "By teaming with IBM we are able to help companies maximize their ECM investments, minimize the cost of IT support, and reduce the cost of ediscovery. IBM is the clear leader in ECM, and its platform is installed in 70 percent of the Fortune 500, according to market researchers."
eDPM 2.0 combines EED's proven eDiscovery methodology, technology, and expertise with IBM's industry-leading ECM platform. It is the only custodian notification system built on an ECM platform, which gives it the ability to meet the needs of both corporate legal and IT departments. eDPM 2.0 includes the following features:
• Identification of custodians and sources
• Automated notification of custodians regarding legal hold orders
• Automated tracking of the custodian notification process
• Audit trail managed through IBM ECM platform
• Secured preservation hold
• Workflow-based creation, distribution, and acknowledgement of notification
