Reducing Data Identification, Preservation, and Collection Costs.

Identification – eDI creates an auditable “data topology map” of active ESI, files, and email that is located on the network servers, email servers, content management systems, storage systems and PC’s.

Preservation – Documents that meet the preservation criteria are searched in place and then moved without the need of specialized collection tools. Access Control Lists (ACL’s) and Security Identifiers (SID’s) are preserved, thus proving file ownership as tracked by the file system.

Collections - Documents that meet the preservation criteria are searched in place and then the active data is collected on the network servers, storage systems and personal computers without disrupting end users.

Legal Hold - Proactive identification and protection of documents that must be preserved for legal holds .

Cost
