Twenty-two (22) years ago Symantec recruited me to manage the Discovery Accelerator within the Enterprise Vault team right after acquiring Veritas. Symantec was a huge technology company and I always felt the enterprise info governance products struggled to thrive in the shadow of the giant consumer security products. The recent Cohesity-Veritas merger spun the three (3) enterprise info governance business (Data Compliance, Data Resilience, [...]
Mark Noel (VP AI & Data Consulting) caught me up on the integration of Redgrave Data into the larger Elevate ecosystem. Since joining Elevate, the Redgrave Data team has focused on developing internal automation, as well as custom tools and capabilities for the broader Elevate customer base. This kind of post M&A work takes time, as the team’s world-class experts need to scale their [...]
Hanzo’s new CEO Sarai Schubert clearly articulated Hanzo’s shift from compliance archiving to unified navigation and access of diverse collaborative enterprise sources. It could be that I am just out of date with their brand shift, but the briefing put them back on my RFP list for Enterprise clients seeking governance solutions for Slack, Teams, Google Workplace, Atlassian, Asana, Websites and other dynamic SaaS [...]
Everlaw Founder and CEO AJ Shankar responded to my question, “Tell me what makes Everlaw’s new Project Query different?” with a deep dive into their implementation of RAG AI. Instead of complicated prompts or rigid review workflows, this extends the EverlawAI Assistant portfolio by allowing non-technical users to just ask questions and get a GenAI summary derived exclusively from and linked to your hosted documents.

With 1784 updates to the Microsoft Roadmap, March seems to have had an ‘update your release dates’ mandate to the PM teams. We did have 253 actual new additions that seem to be focused on the new eDiscovery Portal, expanding CoPilot integrations, new IRM controls and more. There are a LOT of date and content updates to Purview eDiscovery items, so it is worth [...]
CEO Mike Schubert barely mentioned their new StreemView AI search in our briefing. Instead, he hammered on how StreemView's architecture and UI is uniquely designed for the mobile and collaborative data sources at the heart of modern investigations. Having spent the last quarter struggling with mobile and chat content in complex international investigations, his arguments resonated with me. Most lawyers think of evidence as [...]
CEO Elie Francis CRO Doug Kaminski While you may not be familiar with Infinnium, I am betting that it will appear on corporate legal's radar this year. Their 4iG platform was launched in 2018 and previously seemed focused on enterprise governance through in-place processing and analytics. Familiar eDiscovery rock stars Elie Francis (Driven/One Discovery) and Doug Kaminski (Relativity/Consilio) joining [...]
Sooner or later someone was going to figure out how to conduct mature, AI-driven legal review without throwing the data 'over the M365 firewall'. Altorney's deep M365 and eDiscovery expertise seems to have enabled them to overcome the substantial obstacles to accomplish this feat. For regulated industries, government agencies and other customers with high security requirements, MARC may be the solution they have been [...]
You logged into Purview eDiscovery and found yourself in a whole new user experience (UX). You have a priority hold or collection and need counsel’s buy in on the new search, hold, review and export options. Buried at the end of my Geek Guide page detailing the new portal UX changes is the list below of key decisions that impact even simple investigations. Send [...]
The new Purview Portal UX adds a lot of new functionality and architectural changes. The classic versions are scheduled for decommissioning in January, so Purview users need to get up to speed quick and adapt your workflows. I created a page that calls out the changes, potential impact and recommendations for experienced users. Although I have met with some of the new Microsoft PM [...]
