PRODUCT DETAILS:

One e-discovery software solution walks you through each phase of the
e-discovery process…

Litigation Hold & Enforcement

• AD eDiscovery has built-in, full-function litigation hold capabilities.
• Send notifications, track the receipt of notifications, adjust lit hold criteria over time and more.
• Include questions and standard documentation with your notifications.
• Wizard-driven for ease of use.
• Are you a PSS Atlas user? No problem…
  • AD eDiscovery also integrates with Atlas. So if you’re happy with your existing solution, you can automatically or selectively sync legal matters, custodians and e-Discovery collection requests between Atlas and AD eDiscovery software.

Identification

• See what the results of a search will be before you actually begin to collect.
• Determine where potentially relevant electronically stored information (ESI) lives and categorize it by data type, volume and location.
• Enhanced early case assessment reports provide critical metrics to quickly understand the universe of potentially responsive ESI, allowing you to tune your criteria prior to collection.
• Map custodians to computers, shares and data repositories.

Collection & Preservation

• Forensically collect from workstations, laptops, network shares, email servers, databases and 30+ structured data repositories, such as SharePoint, Enterprise Vault and Documentum.
• Collect only relevant electronically stored information using advanced searching and filtering, or collect all custodian-created data.
• Create native PSTs and NSFs from email servers.
• Perform incremental collections to only collect data that has changed from a previous collection.
• Re-use previously executed e-discovery collections and associate them with multiple legal matters.
• With Smart Restart, AD eDiscovery software automatically resumes a collection at the point of interruption when a computer re-connects, even during keyword searches. It supports multiple interruptions over long periods of time. It will also scan the entire system looking for any files that have been added or modified since the time of interruption.
• Dynamic Locality allows laptops with agents to be re-routed to an optimal collection point as a custodian travels. For example, as a custodian moves from New York to London, the collection is automatically re-routed to the optimal collection point and the collection will resume from the point of failure without having to start over.

Processing & Deduplication

• Process data as you collect, while maintaining complete chain of custody.
• Distributed Processing greatly reduces processing time.
• AD eDiscovery software automatically identifies and categorizes data, including encrypted files.
• Deduplicate email and ESI across the matter or for a specific custodian.
• AD eDiscovery software scales to handle massive data sets.
• Enhanced deduplication reports show detailed information for all eDocs and email, even on massive data sets.
• File Breakout/Exception reports show processed and encrypted data with metrics per custodian or across matters.

Analysis & Review

• User-friendly Silverlight web interface with native file review allows for collaborative early case assessment and analysis prior to production.
• Email conversation threads display all related messages in chronological order.
• Cull data by leveraging sophisticated searching and rich filtering, by custodian, data source, document metadata and type.
• Advanced search with hit highlighting in files, emails and attachments allows you to quickly find what you’re looking for without having to read every single word. View hit highlights in the 400+ supported data types, in both natural and text view.

Production

• Produce responsive-only documents and email in native format or an AD1 forensic archive, organized by custodian or as a single instance, with options to preserve the original folder structure.
• Generate load files for export to popular third-party review tools, including Concordance, EDRM XML, Summation, iCONECT and Introspect.
• Detailed production reporting, such as transparent search reports, processing exception reports, and production and exclusion reports.
• Rolling production support enables batch production.

NOTE: Over the course of the next year, AD eDiscovery will be integrated with Summation technology, so that AccessData customers will no longer need to generate load files for Summation legal review software. However, AD eDiscovery will continue to support common third-party review tools.

Records Retention Enforcement

• Automatically search for electronically stored information that falls outside your records retention policies.
• Flag non-compliant files and log their locations or delete them.
