The software archives data from Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint, from file systems and third-party repositories. Through policies, IT managers or legal counsel are able to search for relevant data, set retention policies and develop case strategies. The Enterprise Discovery Suite also gathers information from laptops and PCs and allows a user to create a secure chain of custody.
The Enterprise Discovery Suite consists of several components: Iron Mountain NearPoint, Connected Classify & Collect, Iron Mountain eVantage, Iron Mountain Legal Discovery and Iron Mountain Consulting. NearPoint is an archive for Exchange, file systems, SharePoint and third-party repositories that serves as a central repository with policy-based retention and legal hold capability. Connected Classify & Collect allows policy-based discovery and collection of data from laptops and desktops. EVantage is an early case assessment tool and Legal Discovery is a product that ingests data from Connected Classify & Collect, NearPoint and eVantage for file review, tagging and portfolio management.
Iron Mountain also has a number of other eDiscovery services and software, including it’s Stratify Legal Discovery Service, an enterprise solution used for early case assessment, document review and production.
According to Iron Mountain, businesses need to “know what they have.” More businesses are realizing this need. Gartner says that revenues for eDiscovery will exceed $1.2 billion this year.
