CaseCentral, a provider of eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms, has launched a new connector that integrates Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator with the cloud-based eDiscovery Platform.
The company said that the integration between these two offerings eliminates the need for IT and legal departments to manually export and upload large amounts of data for legal review. Clients using the new connector will bypass EDD processing fees for data moved into CaseCentral from Enterprise Vault and simplifies the handoff process, removing risk by eliminating the opportunity for error.
According to CaseCentral, the Symantec Discovery Accelerator enables organisations to conduct searches across the archive and review for a litigation request, regulatory request or internal investigation. Once searches have been conducted, the connector automatically exports the results to the cloud-based CaseCentral eDiscovery Platform for legal teams to perform early case assessment, analysis, review and production.
CaseCentral said that it has eliminated standard processing fees for data received through the new connector and reduced the amount of time spent processing data to prepare for review, due to its API-level integration with Enterprise Vault and the automation of data transfer.
The company claims that its platform offers single-instance storage, and reduces risk with the eDiscovery disaster recovery and business continuity protocol to safeguard client data.
Simon Jelley, senior director of product management for enterprise information management group at Symantec, said: By leveraging Symantec Enterprise Vault and its open architecture, the CaseCentral Connector further extends the value of an integrated content archive and helps to lower the cost of identifying and reviewing content relevant to a legal or regulatory matter. Together, CaseCentral and Symantec provide a powerful package for corporations that want to standardise their end-to-end e-discovery processes and eliminate EDD processing fees.
The CaseCentral Connector for Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator will be beta tested with clients in the first quarter of calendar year 2010 and is expected to be generally available in late spring 2010.
