CaseCentral, the leader in secure, on-demand eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms looking to simplify and take control of eDiscovery, and StoredIQ, a leading provider of Intelligent Information Management and eDiscovery technologies, today announced a strategic partnership to provide an integrated eDiscovery offering that ranges from identification, preservation, collection and processing of electronically stored information (ESI) through analysis, review, production and post-production re-use. The companies will leverage the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) XML standard to seamlessly move ESI from one system to another, which will significantly reduce the cost of eDiscovery processing.
StoredIQ locates, identifies, indexes and classifies unstructured and semi-structured data across the industry's broadest range of storage, email, archiving, content, document and record management systems. StoredIQ provides ongoing active search and analysis, enabling counsel to analyze and target data that is potentially responsive to litigation or investigations across the organization, regardless of where it is physically located. Using StoredIQ's litigation hold policy, organizations can preserve responsive data where it is located or copy the data without changing metadata properties to a retention platform. The potentially responsive data can be further filtered and de-duplicated before being produced in a CaseCentral load file. Additionally, for large volumes of data, StoredIQ supports the ability to perform rolling exports, allowing legal teams to begin work in CaseCentral before all enterprise data has been collected, eliminating the delay between collection and review.
