My apologies for taking this long to consolidate and publish my notes. As you all know, cases do not stop just because you ducked out to do one of your favorite conferences. I will be dropping my session and lab notes asap. I approached this Relativity Fest as an active customer rather than my traditional journalist/analyst role. That changed my take-aways and I hope [...]
Ran into this recently with a client and wanted to share a short technical note so that you can avoid the headache. Many clients use shared subfolders in Teams/SharePoint to stage internal collections from document systems, 3rd parties or other non-M365 sources. Direct load to RelativityOne, Reveal or other cloud platform requires integration and security configuration. So many practitioners are still stuck downloading to [...]
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, [...]
Pinpoint Labs has entered the remote mobile collection market with their CrossCopy Enterprise application. VP Shane Havick gave me his annual briefing devoid of market fluff and vague value propositions. If you have tracked my recent return to the trenches supporting complex international matters, you may guess that mobile devices have been a particularly challenging ESI source. My recent experience with Cellebrite and ModeOne [...]
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 It could be that I am just out of date with their brand shift, but the briefing put them back on my RFP list for Enterprise clients seeking governance solutions for Slack, Teams, Google Workplace,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 [...]
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 [...]
