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 [...]
In March-April Exterro customers will be able to collect common mobile device content over wireless corporate networks without phone apps or agents. This new offering leverages the Exterro platform, FTK Suite(acquired 2020) and an agent installed on legal team workstation. The custodian grants one-time trust permission for collection access and the incremental collections are made without disrupting users while they are connected to [...]
“What is your 2025 prediction?” asked Relativity’s David Horrigan of the E-Discovery State of the Union panel alumni for his and Stephani Wilkins 2025 Predictions webinar (posted soon). I was under water photographing Bonaire’s amazing sea life and missed the response window. A moment’s reflection on the data source growth trends and bonfire cases I supported this year said, “Email is dead, long live [...]
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 [...]
2024 was my year to attend the great sessions. That was the idea when I got a late start booking briefings and interviews. A last-minute wave of requests derailed most of my session plans, but I wanted to share my summaries and highlights from the few I attended. Did I miss some good ones? Yes, I did. So write up your own highlights to [...]
The 15th Relativity Fest was one of the most highly attended Relativity Fests to date with about 2,000 attendees. Sessions were packed with customers. They actually had to turn away attendees from the packed room at Horrigan’s State of the Union. Market consolidation and other factors may have reduced the number of sponsors, but not the energy level. I managed to chat with [...]
Reading the actual Patent (US 12,069,151 B2) provides a much clearer picture if you can wade through the rather obtuse patent legalese. It seems clear that this method applies to an enterprise server based patform rather than a SaaS service. They patent and Cellebrite’s handy ‘fact page’ carefully state that remote collection requires device owner notification and consent. I have encountered this same hesitation [...]
