As we find more and more of our clients are asking about E-Discovery, it seems appropriate to use this post to call out a product that has been doing well in the market. It’s called SourceOne and it’s a standalone product from EMC.
EMC SourceOne Discovery Manager allows for discovery and secure legal hold of archived content in response to legal and regulatory notices and corporate policy complaints. Discovery Manager has an easy-to-use interface that allows users to quickly find, review and produce archived information relevant to an inquiry.
Discovery Manager is built around a legal “matter” or case metaphor. It supports secure, authorized investigator access, defensible collection results and chain of custody of content archived. It does a full text-based index allowing for easy searching and it also supports the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) XML export standard for easy data transfer to final e-discovery production applications.
Borrowing from EMC’s own notes on the product, EMC SourceOne Discovery Manager delivers the following benefits:
