IBM Intros ECM Offering

August 6, 2008: In a bid to improve its compliance offerings, IBM has introduced new Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, promising better eDisocovery capabilities for companies looking to take control of their data and improve response times to litigation.

The company says its eDiscovery software helps companies manage the entire process, automating the search, classification and collection of critical information across a range of content sources, and do it while maintaining security and the ability to track changes.

“In today’s litigious environment, legal discovery and industry regulations are driving us to address the way we store, manage and retrieve information,” said Rashid Mahmood, Lotus Notes Systems Manager for the Thomas Miller Group.

Mahmood says that IBM’s eDiscovery offerings can help manage rapidly growing in-house requirements for litigation-driven electronic discovery, while helping to alleviate compliance worries.

IBM adds that the software enables companies to move from scattered, point-solution approaches to a disciplined approach that controls electronic information, helps support Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) compliance and manage risk while delivering ongoing operational benefits.
