Today's Litigation Challenge

When your corporation is implicated in a lawsuit, can your corporation react quickly to find all relevant electronically stored information (ESI)? Does your corporation have the capability to hold relevant documents in-place for rapid review? Is your corporation proactively prepared to handle multiple lawsuits and internal investigations? Can your corporate budget handle multiple suits? Does your corporation have a repeatable and auditable process that the corporation can defend for litigation procedures?

Lawsuits are a fact of life for corporations today. Recent surveys uncover that the average corporation with $1 billion in revenue faces an average of 556 concurrent lawsuits, which is a staggering case load. Today, having a lawsuit is no longer a question of “if” or “when”; it is a question of “how many”.

With the growth of knowledge workers and ubiquity of content creation tools, corporations are now creating most business records electronically. Opposing counsel is aggressively targeting all digital information as a rich source of evidentiary information. The millions of electronic emails, documents, presentations and PDFs are deluging corporate legal teams with gigabytes and sometimes terabytes of information to review to meet the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) legal discovery requirements.

With Kazeon, companies are realizing cost savings of as much as 90% by streamlining and automating existing manual, time-consuming legal eDiscovery processes.

• Greatly increase control and visibility over your processes like proactive eDiscovery and reactive eDiscovery by automatically searching, analyzing, and reviewing Terabytes of files and emails over relevant information.
• “KazHold” In-Place and “Copy and Move” Legal Hold delivers robust relevant information preservation with a repeatable, auditable and defensible procedure.
• Standardize your Legal Discovery processes by creating an repeatable and audible process to increase defense capability
• Comply with the amended FRCP guidelines. Mitigate risks and sanctions associated with Legal Discovery by adhering to fast response requirements and strict litigation hold requirements for preserving data and metadata integrity.
• Significantly reduce Legal Discovery processing costs by reducing the data volume prior to submission to costly processing and review to outside firms.
• Gain insight into your ESI before the review process starts by having an eDiscovery-ready index of your organization's ESI continuously available.

The Kazeon eDiscovery Suite enables corporations to “find the relevant needles in the informational haystacks” quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. With powerful search and analysis tools, Kazeon's eDiscovery suite removes duplicate and non-relevant information from relevant, confidential and privileged information within a single intuitive graphic interface. Corporations can quickly conduct early case assessments and determine who knew what and when for less than a penny per document.

With the KazHold feature, Kazeon delivers the ability to perform in-place and “copy and move” legal hold on files and documents. Placing an in-place legal hold on a document or file at the source, i.e. on a laptop, desktop, or file server, saves moving the file before the initial review is conducted which accelerates the review process and facilitates “what if” scenario analysis. Performing a “copy and move” transfers the relevant document to a secure repository for evidence preservation.

Deployed in-house at your organization, at an outside law firm or hosted by an eDiscovery service provider, the Kazeon eDiscovery Suite integrates with current eDiscovery processes in under thirty minutes. For reactive deployments, Kazeon offers a robust solution to discover, search and act on informational sources quickly and rapidly with our high-performance and scalable eDiscovery suite. In proactive deployments, Kazeon's eDiscovery suite delivers continuous information management capabilities, automated policy development, and policy enforcement, as well as the ability to respond to all reactive litigation situations.

Legal eDiscovery drivers include Corporate Governance, Product Liability, Intellectual Property, Merger and Acquisitions, Internal Investigation, Employee litigation and Labor Law, Anti-Trust, Credit Derivative Swap litigation and Sub-prime litigation.

Kazeon supports laptop/desktop encryption technologies. The software can automatically decrypt encrypted data and is able to access files and emails on encrypted laptops/desktops. Kazeon provides support for and has been tested in environments that utilize many different encryption technologies such as Microsoft’s Encrypted File System (EFS), EMC/RSA, McAfee Safeboot, and NetApp Decru. Kazeon uses authentication/authorization and Active Directory (AD) credentials as part of the ecosystem of a typical encryption architecture. When dealing with encrypted devices, Kazeon has automated capabilities to discover them and then perform its extensive eDiscovery workflow. The auto-discovery functionality can be complemented by manually entering the specific set of laptop/desktop device names, IDs or IP addresses.
