CloudNine Automates eDiscovery Preservation and Collection

Cloud-based Offering Integrates and Automates Targeted Preservation and Collection Capability into the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform

CloudNine, a leader in simplifying and automating data and legal discovery for litigation, investigations, and audits, today announced the release of Targeted Preservation and Collection from CloudNine, an integrated and automated data discovery feature of the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform. This cloud-based capability simplifies and automates data preservation and collection for corporate legal and IT professionals and is available at no incremental cost as part of the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform.

“With the accelerating volume, variety, and velocity of electronically stored information (ESI), legal and IT professionals now more than ever require tools that can help streamline the complex eDiscovery phases of data preservation and collection,” shared Bill David, Chief Technology Officer of CloudNine. “With Targeted Preservation and Collection from CloudNine, users can now quickly detect, identify, locate, and collect ESI and have it automatically ingested and processed within a cloud-based, full-featured eDiscovery platform. This fully integrated capability short-circuits a previously laborious workflow typically done with multiple tools requiring multiple levels of human interaction and truly simplifies and automates preservation and collection.”

“Collection of ESI continues to be an extremely challenging phase of eDiscovery as it involves a need for direct data interaction coupled with the necessity of securely collecting and ultimately moving collected ESI into an eDiscovery platform for further evaluation,” highlighted Doug Austin, Vice President of Products and Services at CloudNine. “By automating the tedious and time-consuming tasks of finding and consolidating files and folders before collection and then automating the collection, ingestion, and processing phases of eDiscovery, CloudNine immediately and positively increases the effectiveness and economics of preservation and collection while removing risks associated with multiple instances of human intervention. Our customers have always asked for help in automating these critical first steps in the eDiscovery process, and we are delighted to be able to deliver them a targeted capability that can streamline their eDiscovery efforts, reduce their risk, and shorten the time to review in support of litigation, investigations, and audits.”

An Eight-Step Wizard Guided Selection Process

Available at no incremental cost as part of the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform, the automated preservation and collection capability is accomplished through an eight-step, wizard-driven selection process that includes:

1. A secure login to the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform
2. The selection of the files and folders to be collected (scanning of local drives or specific folders)
3. The selection of a processing option (host with CloudNine, host with Relativity, build early data analysis report, or automatically create a load file for a third-party eDiscovery platform)
4. The selection of the project for the collected data to be added to (creation of a new project or loading into an existing project)
5. The selection of the timezone for the collection
6. The naming of the collection (custodian, location, etc.)
7. The secure upload of the collection (compression and uploading)
8. The upload confirmation for the completion of processing for analytics and review

Upon completion of the preservation and collection process, users are automatically and immediately ready to begin using the analytics and review capabilities as determined by their processing option selection (CloudNine, Relativity, or Load File for export to additional platforms).

CloudNine and Compliance Enable eDiscovery Automation and Acceleration for Fortune 200 Client

Combination of Outpost for Relativity Technology and Discovery-as-a-Service Platform Simplifies Discovery for Leading U.S. Company

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) October 10, 2017

CloudNine, the eDiscovery Company (cloudnine.com), partnering with Compliance Discovery Solutions, today highlighted the successful delivery to a leading U.S. company of a jointly developed solution that combines the speed and efficiency of self-service eDiscovery with the power and precision of the industry’s leading legal review platform.

Born of the technology partnership announced between CloudNine and Compliance in early 2017, the joint solution integrates CloudNine’s Outpost for Relativity technology with Compliance’s Discovery-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform featuring Relativity, to provide self-service ingestion and processing of data directly into an optimized hosted Relativity environment. Delivered from the security of a private, protected cloud environment, a unique attribute amongst the different types of cloud offerings, this solution automates and accelerates the complete discovery process, saving the Fortune 200 client time and money while increasing the power and precision of the legal department’s processing, analytics and review capability.

“Today’s corporations are actively examining how to automate and accelerate their eDiscovery efforts while at the same time protecting their investments in technology and training,” shared Marc Zamsky, COO of Compliance. “Our jointly developed solution with CloudNine was recently deployed by a Fortune 200 legal department to help automate much of their eDiscovery process with the attributes of self-service capability while continuing their use of Relativity. This solution protected the company’s financial and institutional knowledge investment in eDiscovery while adding additional workflow and economic efficiencies, allowing the company to increase in effectiveness while reducing costs. This win-win proposition is one our clients are increasingly asking for, and we are excited to be able to meet their needs through our efforts with CloudNine.”

“Facing the challenge of increasing volumes of data coupled with omnipresent budgetary constraints, corporations are many times caught between a rock and a hard place as they seek to increase eDiscovery capability while decreasing costs,” noted Brad Jenkins, CEO of CloudNine. “Integrating our automation technology with Compliance’s proven discovery platform is helping clients manage needs and budgets while still being able to take advantage of advanced technologies that can help them improve eDiscovery efficiencies.  The recent successful deployment of our jointly developed solution with Compliance within the legal department of a Fortune 200 company truly validates the need for the solution and our ability to jointly deliver such an important offering to the market.”

The CloudNine and Compliance Solution

The joint CloudNine and Compliance eDiscovery technology solution consists of three key elements:

+ CloudNine’s Outpost for Relativity Technology
+ Compliance’s Discovery-as-a-Service Platform
+ Compliance’s Hosted Relativity Environment

CloudNine’s Outpost eDiscovery automation integration with Relativity provides users with a tool that accelerates the upload, ingestion, and processing of electronically stored information (ESI). This capability allows users to ingest ESI directly from their desktops immediately and automatically move it into Compliance’s DaaS Managed Services Platform, streamlining workflows for corporate and law firm eDiscovery practitioners.

Compliance’s integrated DaaS platform delivers a complete eDiscovery technology and infrastructure solution. The platform allows customers to gain and maintain control of their eDiscovery efforts with best-of-breed technology without the need for additional investment in software, hardware, infrastructure, or dedicated internal resources.

Compliance’s Hosted Relativity Environment provides clients with the power and precision of Relativity for legal review from an optimized hosting environment.

The comprehensive solution is delivered from the security of a private, protected cloud, providing the access and economic efficiencies of a public cloud deployment with the added protection of a private data center environment. This added level of security enables clients to know exactly where the data is at all times from both a virtual and physical perspective and is an industry differentiator given the proliferation of pure public cloud eDiscovery platform deployments that are challenged by the increasing legal and regulatory requirements around data privacy and security.

Customer Snapshot: An Immediate International Compliance Challenge Met by CloudNine

An Immediate International Compliance Challenge Met by CloudNine

CloudNine, the eDiscovery Company (cloudnine.com) providing eDiscovery automation software and services for litigation, investigations, and audits, today highlighted a recent international law firm’s selection of CloudNine to provide simplified eDiscovery automation in support of its corporate compliance practice. This highlighting provides one example of how CloudNine is simplifying eDiscovery for law firms, corporations, and governmental organizations.

Customer Challenge

Our customer, a Latin America-based international law firm that advises local, regional, and international companies on country-specific corporate compliance, provides counsel and services in support of extraterritorial matters. These matters routinely range from white-collar Foreign Corruption Practices Act (FCPA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) investigations to civil cross-border and multi-jurisdictional litigation and arbitration. With a law firm of more than 65 attorneys and 20 tax advisors and a sporadic but intense workflow requiring advanced legal discovery technology to support time-sensitive audits, investigations, and litigation, our customer was interested in evaluating an alternative eDiscovery platform to replace their current technology. Given the nature of the support and the irregular intervals of intensive discovery, our customer not only required advanced eDiscovery technology but also needed a pricing model that allowed for periodic usage without penalizing them for episodical engagements. The hope of the firm’s corporate compliance practice lead attorney was that the alternative eDiscovery technology could be utilized as an immediate replacement and serve as a permanent part of the firm’s discovery resources.

Needs Snapshot

+ Proven Provider with Compliance Expertise
+ Advanced eDiscovery Technology
+ Flexible Pricing Model
+ Immediate Implementation

CloudNine Solution

Upon being notified of the customer’s technology and business requirements for an advanced, cloud-based, SaaS-deployed eDiscovery platform that could support investigation and litigation needs while meeting business requirements, CloudNine’s customer support team immediately began working directly with the compliance practice’s lead attorney to provide a familiarization of CloudNine’s eDiscovery Platform to the firm’s multinational-focused multilingual associates. Key areas of interest to the customer highlighted during technology demonstrations included:

+ Ability of Any User to Immediately Upload, Process, Analyze, Review and Produce Electronically Stored Information (Speed)
+ Intuitive Interface for Comprehensive Capability (Simplicity)
+ Security of the Platform Based on its Private and Protected Cloud-Environment (Security)
+ Availability of A Full Suite of Professional Services to Support a Wide Range of Audit, Investigation, and Litigation Requirements (Services)

The CloudNine customer support team also developed a complete pricing strategy and model to support the customer’s business need of economical and predictable pricing without the requirement for long-term, subscription pricing commitments.  

In a time frame of fewer than two weeks from initial conversation to an agreement to go forward, CloudNine listened to the customer’s needs, developed a technology and business offering to meet the customer’s needs, and informed, educated, and instructed the customer on the use of the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform.

Results

Upon successful demonstration of the eDiscovery platform and presentation of a simplified pricing model that would meet the customer’s needs and provide cost savings over the customer’s previous eDiscovery offering, the law firm selected CloudNine in early 2017 to replace its previous technology and provide eDiscovery support for its international corporate compliance practice.

CloudNine then coordinated and deployed access to the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform to the customer’s Latin America-based associates. This seamless deployment consisted of the set-up, training, and the availability of professional services and technical support to meet the eDiscovery requirements. 

Ongoing Benefits

+ Associate Acceptance and Use of CloudNine as Primary eDiscovery Platform
+ Increased Flexibility Based on Platform Ease-of-Use
+ Decreased Costs Based on Appropriate Pricing Model

“CloudNine’s sensitivity to our compliance practice’s specific needs and ability to immediately deliver a comprehensive discovery offering has helped us better serve our international clientele who rely on us for timely advice and support on both white-collar and civil matters,” shared the Compliance Practice Lead Attorney. “They have saved us time, decreased our costs, and increased our ability to quickly and decisively to respond to critical information requirements.”

CloudNine Announces New Pricing Models for Simplified eDiscovery Automation Software and Services

New Pay-Per-Use and Subscription Models Help Law Firms and Legal Departments Address Budgetary Constraints Through Pricing Transparency and Predictability

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) May 9, 2017

CloudNine, the eDiscovery Company (cloudnine.com) which provides eDiscovery automation software and professional services for litigation, investigations, and audits, today unveiled its new and simplified eDiscovery pricing models to allow for easier understanding and predictability of the costs of its eDiscovery software and services. The new pay-per-use and volume-based subscription pricing models consist of four plans including pay-as-you-go pricing of $35 per GB per month for core eDiscovery services with no minimum commitment. The new models and plans are available immediately from CloudNine.

“Today’s eDiscovery practitioners are faced with the increasing challenge of doing more work with fewer resources,” shared Doug Austin, Vice President of Operations and Professional Services at CloudNine. “This is even a bigger challenge when one considers the general lack of clarity and transparency in most technology provider pricing structures. With our new pricing models, we have created some of the most understandable and economical pricing available, helping law firms and legal departments better address budgetary challenges by being able to understand, predict, and afford the cost of eDiscovery.”

Pricing Models, Plans, and Services

With its simplified pricing, CloudNine offers customers two business models to support their legal discovery efforts. These models are Pay-Per-Use and Volume-Based Subscriptions. From these two models, CloudNine offers four pricing plans ranging from $35/GB/Month under the Pay-Per-Use model to as little as $12/GB/Month under the Volume-Based Subscription model.

  • Pay-Per-Use Model (Basic Plan): Unlimited Usage with No Commitment

“Simplifying eDiscovery requires simplifying the business of eDiscovery,” highlighted Brad Jenkins, CEO of CloudNine. “Many organizations speak of transparency in pricing, but few achieve the goal of making it easier for customers to consider, compare, and contrast alternative offerings. Our hope is that in our sharing of models, plans, and prices, we truly make it easier for customers to see for themselves why CloudNine is not only the right technology choice for eDiscovery but also the right business choice for eDiscovery.”

In addition to its Core Services and Advanced Services, CloudNine recently introduced a Legal Hold Notification Service that is included in all subscription agreements and available on the Pay-Per-Use plan starting at $500 per hold for up to 10 custodians.  CloudNine also offers a complete portfolio of professional services, making it one of the only advanced generation technology providers with a full professional services team available to help customers simplify their discovery efforts.
