eDiscovery Unified Search Software

“Self-serve search” can greatly reduce the costs and timelines associated with satisfying eDiscovery requests

Many of the costs associated with responding to eDiscovery requests involve the bureaucracy of legal and business teams making requests for data to the IT department, who process the search or outsource the task to professional eDiscovery consulting firms. This bottleneck at the IT department consumes valuable resources, and causes the legal team to wait long times for responses as searches are done across a wide variety of databases, files, and other messages and electronic communications.

Transparent data access & search capabilities for everyone

eDiscovery solutions from North American Systems allow IT departments to grant access to search and retrieval capabilities across the enterprise, to non-IT personnel. By granting legal teams transparent access to data & search capabilities, it dramatically streamlines the process of eDiscovery and reduces the costs associated with eDiscovery. Searches for specific text and/or metadata can be performed via an intuitive GUI with advanced filtering and the ability to search across all data types and media.

Also, retrieved data can be automatically de-duplicated reviewed to exclude irrelevant data, and select data can be marked as “privileged”. Providing a single search interface and the ability to filter and retrieve data on demand, helps legal teams assess cases early on, and provide initial disclosures regarding eDiscovery requests for ESI. The email archival search capabilities can also be provided to all users on demand, allowing them to search their individual mailbox for keywords at the message level.
