Support for Early Case Assessment of Electronically Stored
Information Extended to Open Text eDOCS Solution; Helps Legal
Industry Address eDiscovery Issues LEGALTECH 2009, NY, Feb. 3
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Open Text (NASDAQ:
OTEXNASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) software, today announced that it has extended its
new eDiscovery solution to its Open Text eDOCS customers. Now
organizations, particularly corporate legal departments, will be
able to significantly minimize the need for third-party processing
and control the high costs of legal reviews by culling irrelevant
information. Launched in December
(http://www.opentext.com/2/global/press-release-details.html?id=2154),
Open Text eDiscovery Early Case Assessment is being offered through
a strategic relationship with Recommind, the leader in
search-powered information risk management (IRM). The solution
combines Recommind's Insite Legal Hold application with the Open
Text ECM Suite. The combination not only addresses the critical
need for eDiscovery in an age of growing regulatory and legal
challenges, it also lets customers tightly integrate eDiscovery
within their broader ECM initiatives. Open Text eDOCS customers
will gain expanded eDiscovery capabilities woven into their overall
content, records and email management practices. "This announcement
furthers our commitment to Open Text eDOCS customers and expands on
our leadership within the legal industry," said Kirk Roberts, EVP
& President, Integrated ECM Group at Open Text. "Additional
eDiscovery support meets a critical need for law firms and
corporate legal departments to be able to assess, collect, preserve
and process electronically stored information that resides in Open
Text eDOCS, which is often an organization's system of record."
"Extending the functionality of the Early Case Assessment solution
to include Open Text eDOCS is a key development in addressing the
need to minimize information risk and increase litigation and
investigatory efficiency for many companies," said Robert Tennant,
CEO of Recommind. "This is a natural extension of the Open Text
eDOCS search capabilities we developed for our MindServer Search
customers and an important next step in our Open Text partnership
to deliver the Early Case Assessment solution to a wider range of
enterprises and offer our current and prospective customers new
levels of speed and accuracy for their data management and
eDiscovery initiatives." Open Text is a leading global provider of
