Litigation Readiness for Corporations - How Prepared Are You?

Tight budgets, heightened scrutiny by the courts, and an ever-increasing volume and global distribution of potentially relevant information are making compliance with legal requirements more challenging than ever before. How can companies optimize the right combination of search expertise, process, and technology to lower e-discovery costs and risk while improving ROI?

In a webinar, industry experts from Kazeon and H5 will share best practices for addressing e-discovery challenges, from identification, collection, processing, analysis and review to legal hold management. Specific topics will include the following:

1. Optimizing the integration of search expertise, process, and technology to lower e-discovery costs and risk while improving ROI

2. Identifying the necessary technology - and when it is needed - for identification, collection, processing, analysis, review and legal hold management

3. Developing a well-documented and executable process, including a quality assurance framework that incorporates measurement and sampling techniques

4. Reducing the document review and production burden through automation

5. Implementing proactive strategies for ensuring that information is appropriately assessed prior to a discovery request

CEIC…Great Show and Excellent Release v4 launch!

Did you know Kazeon participated at the Guidance CEIC show (annual user conference) in Orlando, FL this month? The conference was in the beautiful Loew’s Pacific Resort…unfortunatly the weather was not typical Florida sunshine. However, the rain storms did not dampen the spirits of the ediscovery diehards.

Announced on Monday, Kazeon’s new products for Analysis & Review and Legal Hold Management fit into any environment, e.g., in an environment where Guidance’s EnCase is being used for collection. Kazeon can take the collected data, cull it down and provide fine-grained analysis, review, Early Case Assessment and legal hold on that data. Further, if enterprises have numerous laptops/desktops and remote offices where having agents on these devices is hard or impossible, Kazeon can provide agent-less Collection & Culling capabilities to augment or replace Guidance.
