From Lit Hold To Production: The Importance Of The One-Stop eDiscovery Shop

Casepoint announces expanded legal hold capabilities.

Reviewing terabytes’ worth of data is the unpleasant part of the discovery process that gets the most attention. It’s where costs can spiral and valuable resources get squandered. Thankfully, there are solutions out there laser-focused on getting you through discovery relatively painlessly.

But arguably the worst part of the discovery process happens before you even get to reviewing the data. Identifying all the custodians and making sure everyone is saving everything they’re supposed to was the worst part of the process. Obviously, the world is a lot more electronic and therefore a little easier to control from a master switch than back in the day, but there’s still a lot of stress generated by the “unknown unknowns” that could become a problem down the line.

Which is why a discovery solution focused on the whole discovery lifecycle is so important.

This came to mind this week as Casepoint announced the roll out of expanded litigation hold capabilities.

Within a unified, easily configurable, and intuitive interface designed for more efficient workflows across roles and departments, Casepoint Legal Discovery now:

  • Records, preserves, and tracks the details and lifecycles of all holds
  • Automates notification of all potential data custodians
  • Provides customizable email templates linking notification responses directly to a collection log via smart fields
  • Allows mass uploads of custodians who match input criteria to a specific hold record
  • Automatically absorbs individual custodian-level information into the collection log
  • Includes advanced search and filtering tools

There are a lot of vectors of data out there. Casepoint’s collecting from all the big players out there: Microsoft 365, One Drive, Box, Dropbox, Gmail, Google Vault, Slack, Slack Enterprise, and more. Using the same platform to grab and track everything that you’ll be using to review it all is a tremendous advantage.

“Legal hold is one of the most complex areas of the eDiscovery process, particularly in today’s remote work environment where there are massive amounts of distributed information that needs to be tracked, managed, and monitored,” said Vipul Rajpara, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. “Given the growing number of pre-litigation triggers, it’s essential to make this process more user-friendly and efficient. The expansion of Casepoint Legal Discovery’s integrated legal hold solution gives customers a significantly streamlined and flexible pathway to meet these challenges.”

Announced as the undercard to the litigation hold expansion — but arguably as important — the company also expanded the processing capabilities for Casepoint Intelligent Processing. That’s the feature that proactively probes various file types to identify and flag any errors or issues with the data for users. With the volume of data gathered in modern discovery, a tool that can flag problems early on rather than having to figure out the files are botched or that there’s a major missing piece months down the line is a big deal.

There are some legal problems out there that shouldn’t be solved by a single product. The discovery process isn’t one of those problems. Reviewing is important, but it’s worth it to make sure your products are also solving the problems that arise before you get there.
