New cloud service helps organizations meet document preservation requirements
Companies increasingly face demands to keep documents in order to satisfy legal and compliance requirements. This can present problems in deciding what to keep but also in keeping up with the latest regulations.
The latest EU/US Data Transfer negotiations for example are causing businesses to re-think their current business processes and data governance strategy in order to address these changes.
Compliance and archiving specialist Actiance is launching a new version of its Alcatraz product offering on-demand preservation capabilities so that organizations can hold, capture, search, and review content across more than 70 communications channels.
This allows legal departments to effectively manage eDiscovery requirements, while mitigating risks that may arise during the critical collection and preservation steps, as well as complying with new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) regulations.
"The standards for legal preservation have become better defined, posing greater challenges for customers who face frequent, unpredictable legal discovery," says Kailash Ambwani, president and CEO, Actiance. "Actiance's On-Demand Preservation capabilities provide a gold standard in proving that a firm has taken the reasonable steps required by the Federal rules to collect and preserve all information that may be relevant for litigation".
The software uses a modern, tamper-proof data store so that legal teams can upload content from communication and social channels to automatically place under legal hold when required for eDiscovery. Electronically stored information is then immediately available for legal teams to conduct searches, filter unneeded content, and export data for review. With built-in, easy-to-use eDiscovery features, legal teams are able to manage collection and preservation tasks without relying on IT staff.
Alcatraz and its enhanced features will be showcased at LegalTech in New York this week and you can find out more on the Actiance website.
