•Contributing Editorial: Part 2 — Chasing Holistic eDiscovery Solutions

By Greg Buckles, DCIG LLC

In Part 1, we talked with Jack Halprin about transitioning from a forensic collection product and market to Autonomy's enterprise solutions. Now we get to learn more about the specific products that he is working with and how they address customer's pain points in the early stages of the e-Discovery lifecycle.

G: So tell me a bit about Aungate Legal Hold and what makes it different from other legal hold applications.

J: .Aungate Legal Hold is the only legal hold solution in the market that combines notification and interviews with preservation and collection. Most legal hold solutions offer minimal help in meeting the preservation obligation, as they are little more than workflow tools to help the corporation send, track, and manage notifications and interviews. The courts have been clear that merely sending a hold notification to a custodian just does not suffice to meet the duty to preserve potentially relevant corporate data. This is further compounded by legal hold solutions that only offer the option of a custodian self collection, as the courts have also found this insufficient; custodians typically do not know where all the potential ESI resides or even how to properly preserve it. Corporate IT infrastructure and data systems are just too complex to assume that an average user will preserve potentially relevant ESI without some assistance. Greg, it is important to keep in mind that case after case has reminded us that the corporation must take affirmative steps beyond a hold notice to preserve potentially relevant ESI.
