Preserve, Collect and Analyze ESI Quickly Across the Enterprise

Today's litigious and hyper-regulatory business environment requires the ability to respond to events quickly, accurately and consistently; self-collection and forensic imaging approaches simply can't meet these stringent requirements, necessitating a new approach.  Axcelerate ECA & Collection enables enterprises to identify, preserve, collect, analyze, cull and filter ESI as part of eDiscovery, internal investigation or regulatory inquiry.

Sophisticated ECA From the Outset of an Event—Explore In-Place Before Collecting

Utilizing Axcelerate ECA & Collection's unique Explore-in-Place^™ functionality, users can conduct instant in-place analysis of ESI before, during or after preservation and collection. Sophisticated SmartTaggers^™ and Smart Filters^™ identify relevant data for quick assessment, deeper analysis and streamlined review.  Users can then sample and assess the most relevant data for the matter at hand. As a result, enterprises can make informed decisions from the very outset of an eDiscovery or regulatory incident, without needing to incur the delay and cost of ESI being preserved, collected, processed, culled and filtered before insight can be gained.

Collect Only What is Needed

In contrast to the rampant overcollection incumbent with forensic imaging and unpredictability and inconsistency of self-collection, with Axcelerate ECA & Collection enterprises can consistently, accurately and defensibly preserve and collect only the ESI needed for any given matter. In addition, robust processing, culling and filtering are built-in, obviating the cost, delay and risk resulting from using 3rd parties and equipment for these steps in the process.  This end-to-end approach to identification/preservation/collection/processing dramatically reduces eDiscovery costs directly, while also slashing document review costs by focusing collections on only relevant material.  

Proactive Monitoring, Analysis and Collection

Axcelerate ECA & Collection can be run both on an ad hoc or scheduled basis as needed.  Data sources for those involved frequently in litigation and investigations (such as C-level executives), can be monitored on a scheduled basis. When a new lawsuit or investigation arises, enterprises can respond instantly, thereby mitigating the risks associated with spoliation of evidence.

Developed specifically to meet today's eDiscovery and regulatory needs, Axcelerate ECA & Collection enables enterprises to conduct quicker, more accurate and far more cost-effective preservation, collection and early case assessment (ECA) of enterprise information.

How Axcelerate ECA & Collection Works

Axcelerate ECA & Collection locates, crawls and indexes information from myriad enterprise data sources. From these indices, enterprises can utilize Axcelerate ECA & Collection to conduct "live" explorations of ESI before applying a legal hold to quickly and efficiently preserve potentially relevant data. Thereafter, enterprises can sample and assess the potentially relevant ESI using Axcelerate ECA & Collection's sophisticated search and sampling technology. Culling is performed at the individual item level (for example, only specific e-mails and attachments are returned, not entire Outlook .pst files) to quickly reduce the amount of data to be processed. As all relevant metadata and full text are extracted during preservation and collection, processing charges are largely eliminated.  As relevant ESI is identified, enterprises can easily apply their hold procedures and move forward. As data is revised or new data is added, Axcelerate ECA & Collection can automatically update any hold to ensure compliance. Axcelerate ECA & Collection also provides enterprises with a full view across multiple holds and matters for effective case management and risk mitigation.
