InternetIBM Unveils Proactive E-Discovery Solution

Why wait until you face a lawsuit, then pay through the nose for an e-discovery solution you'll only use once or twice?

IBM has unveiled eDiscovery Manager, a software product that lets enterprises manage electronically stored information so that they can retrieve it easily when a legal challenge requires e-discovery. The term e-discovery stands for 'electronic discovery' and refers to discovery in civil litigation dealing with information in electronic form. Enterprises are being forced to adopt e-discovery solutions because of amendments in December to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) (define) that require companies to preserve and produce electronically stored information when facing litigation. FRCP is the U.S. federal district court procedures for civil suits. Part of the vendor's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) (define) suite of products, eDiscovery Manager integrates with IBM's auto-classification and records management technology, and the vendor's content-centric business process management (BPM) (define) capabilities. The eDiscovery Manager uses IBM's e-mail archiving solutions, leverages the vendor's ECM repositories, and supports an easy-to-use interface. It "controls information at its source when it is created," Aaron Brown, program director of IBM Content Discovery told InternetNews.com. The eDiscovery Manager works with IBM's Classification Module, and content management repository for this.
