EMC Updates SourceOne eDiscovery Kazeon Product

EMC today announced the availability of EMC SourceOne eDiscovery – Kazeon 4.6, the company’s eDiscovery solution that helps corporations, legal service providers, law firms and consultants provide eDiscovery, litigation support and other investigations.

In the latest release, Kazeon brings new ECA capabilities, simplified eDiscovery and expanded event driven investigations to address Information Governance challenges. The continuous growth and complexity of ESI, combined with the need to rapidly and accurately respond to discovery and investigation requirements, dictate a comprehensive approach to governance for organizations of all sizes.

New Features Include:

• Predefined and Customized Persona and Role Management: Predefined and customizable personas for IT administrator, legal/investigation liaison, and attorney/lead investigation, help these users accelerate time to deployment, and optimize case and investigation management.

• Any Time, In-Place Investigation: Analyze, preserve and categorize information in-place at any time. Organizations with global operations can preserve and categorize electronically stored information (ESI) before collection to meet event-driven investigations in accordance with ordinances such as the European Privacy Act and Bribery Act.

• Search and Analytics with Added International Language Support: Conduct ECA with extensive searching, analytics and first-pass review in French, Italian, German, Spanish, as well as English and Unicode.

• Expanded Repository Connector Enhancements: Robust integration for EMC SourceOne Email Archive, Documentum, Avamar, IBM Lotus Domino Server, Symantec Enterprise Vault v9, Microsoft SharePoint Server, and Microsoft Exchange 2010 with CAS.

“Responding to event-driven investigations like eDiscovery, eDisclosure, litigation, compliance, and internal or regulatory investigations in a quick, cost effective manner, coupled with various global legal and regulatory standards, requires a need for an integrated eDiscovery solution more than ever before,” said Jeff Bettencourt, Vice President and General Manager of Information Governance for the Information Intelligence Group division of EMC. “With the new Kazeon 4.6 release, organizations can effectively manage information and quickly gain visibility and control over the investigation process while balancing complex laws and regulations, controlling costs and reducing overall risk and exposure.”
