 with control over produced documents

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden  -- CaseCentral, the leader in on-demand discovery lifecycle management solutions for corporations and major law firms, today announced that it has brought control and protection to a new level in the eDiscovery world. CaseCentral is the first company ever to build information rights management (IRM) into eDiscovery solutions. The new functionality will allow customers to maintain control over their documents, even after they are produced and distributed outside the firewall.

"This innovation has far-reaching implications for legal counsel and C-level executives at major corporations throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. ," said CaseCentral CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Chris Kruse. "Our Discovery Lifecycle Management solutions with IRM built in provide the best protection developed to date, and furthers our ability to drive down corporate risk and costs in ways no other eDiscovery provider can."

Just months ago, CaseCentral introduced its Discovery Lifecycle Management (DLM See ILM.

DLM - Distributed Lock Manager on distributed VMS systems.
) platform for corporations and law firms. Discovery lifecycle management transforms legal discovery into a repeatable business process that improves discovery, lowers risk, and significantly reduces costs. At its core, DLM enables multiple case management throughout the lifecycle of litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right. The act or process of bringing a lawsuit in and of itself; a judicial contest; any dispute.

When a person begins a civil lawsuit, the person enters into a process called litigation.
. Several of CaseCentral's FORTUNE 100 and law firm customers have already realized great benefits using these solutions.

With today's announcement, CaseCentral has further increased the benefits that DLM delivers by extending control and protection throughout the life of documents, regardless of where they are located, even after production.

The Benefits of Discovery Lifecycle Management with IRM:

* Control no longer ends with production: Pull back inadvertent production; wrap trade secret or sensitive documents in advanced security; use the option to block copies, printing or screen captures; and disable all documents as soon as cases settle.

* Decreased risk: Cases, counsel and corporations are less at risk when they still have control over documents that have been produced.

* Iron clad security: Maintaining control even when a document is outside the firewall delivers the highest security available in eDiscovery.

* Assurance across the enterprise: General Counsel, CIO CIO: see American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations.

How IRM within Discovery Lifecycle Management Works:

Employing IRM capabilities within CaseCentral's platform, users apply security policies to documents that define and enforce digital rights regardless of where the documents reside. CaseCentral leverages proven technology from EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies.  as part of its solution.

* Security policies remain in place after production regardless of location: backup tapes, laptops, e-mail servers, in the evidence repository of opposing counsel, or on an attorney's desktop.

* Every copy of the document will inherit the same policy, which is permanent until revoked.

* Users can add advanced security to highly sensitive documents and optionally block the ability to print, copy or screen capture.

* In case of inadvertent production, clawback Clawback

"Although categorized as an "eDiscovery vendor" my experience is that CaseCentral tends to be ahead of the marketplace in terms of the management of electronic information generally, and this release of an information rights management capability in their litigation support service offering certainly confirms that experience," said Ron Perkowski, Senior Counsel at Halliburton. "They certainly opened my eyes as to the ways in which these capabilities could reduce the cost and uncertainty associated with the storage and production of electronic information, not only for litigation purposes, but also for ongoing management of electronic records, email and other forms of ESI (Edge Side Includes) A markup language for Web pages that enables elements of a Web page to be dynamically assembled in servers distributed throughout the Internet. ."

"Not least, they are well versed in the costs, complexity and opportunities associated with managing very large sets of unstructured data, an expertise that is very hard to find in any context," Perkowski noted. Ron Perkowski is a Senior Counsel at Halliburton who was charged with implementing electronic records management and preservation technologies across the enterprise over the past two years. He otherwise has many years of experience with respect to the management of digital information of all types in connection with litigation and ongoing corporate investigations.
