Lawsuits are a fact of life for organizations today. Recent surveys show that the average company faces 305 suits at any one time; that number jumps to 556 for companies with $1 billion or more in revenue.
Your company has been hit by a lawsuit. Do you know how to react quickly to find all relevant electronically stored information (ESI)? Are you proactively prepared to handle multiple lawsuits or internal investigations? The Kazeon Information Server enables you to cull-down millions of documents and emails in hours or days, not weeks or months and to remove duplicate, irrelevant and privileged information. Quickly conduct early case assessments and determine who knew what and when for less than a penny per document.
Organizations are now creating most business records electronically and communicating frequently via email. As a result, litigators are targeting all digital information sources for evidence. Lawsuits are a fact of life for organizations today and there is a great need of legal ediscovery solution.
In fact, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) amendments have made it a requirement that companies put systems in place that are capable of discovering reasonably accessible ESI no matter where it sits within the organization.
Current eDiscovery processes that leverage outside service providers are incapable of cost-effectively analyzing the volumes of information in today's electronic world.
Legal e Discovery that is not solely driven by litigation drivers include:
- Litigation
- Internal investigations (HR, M&A, divestitures)
- Internal audits
- Regulatory and compliance requirements
- Records retention programs
- Operational information management
A new, in-house approach to legal eDiscovery is needed - one capable of not only reacting to an urgent litigation matter but also facilitating a larger, proactive eDiscovery strategy and can be called a real legal ediscovery solution.

Legal Discovery Solution
Deployed in-house at your organization, at an outside law firm or hosted by an eDiscovery service provider, the Kazeon Information Server integrates with current eDiscovery processes in under 30 minutes.
When a lawsuit arises, IT and Legal can use Kazeon to scan the network for potentially relevant ESI through legal discovery. Kazeon provides a single interface for the analysis of multiple data stores in the enterprise, including laptops, desktops and network storage.
Perform Rapid Search
With Kazeon, the Legal department can securely access case information from a single search interface via a web browser to all document and email stores. Advanced searches can quickly narrow results down by custodian, date range, location of data, recipients, subject, attachment and key terms and phrases
Cull Irrelevant Documents and Identify Privileged Documents
Kazeon can easily identify duplicates across multiple data sets, providing a single view of all user files, emails, attachments and discussions. Directly from the search results, irrelevant data can be quickly tagged "not relevant" and removed from the data set.
Preserve, Export and Print
At any time, the user has the flexibility to take action on a single document, a set of user files or an entire search result set. Responsive documents can be locked down with the appropriate litigation hold. Legal discovery can select multiple files to create a 'golden copy' or master DVD of record.
