StoredIQ has announced a solution that addresses the “complex and unusual challenges” for eDiscovery with SharePoint.

The company claims that because of its collaborative nature and its ability to support a myriad of data objects, current eDiscovery solutions for SharePoint needlessly collect and copy mountains of data prior to providing analysis of the content.

“And, these solutions are limited in their visibility and scope to just SharePoint Libraries and a subset of metadata.”

StoredIQ’s solution fully supports all core SharePoint object types including Blog Posts, Comments, Discussion Board, Calendar, Tasks, Project Tasks, Contacts, Wiki Pages, Issue Tracker, Announcements, Survey, Links, Document Libraries, Picture Libraries, and Records Center, and all associated metadata. The updated integration also uniquely supports nested SharePoint content. For example, StoredIQ will find, index, and collect blogs, threaded comments, and their attachments.

In addition, this expanded integration with SharePoint leverages novel technology for presenting SharePoint content to legal reviewers. Using a proprietary embedded viewer, the entire hierarchical structure of SharePoint is displayed, providing complete context for reviewers when navigating complex SharePoint instances. And, to further simplify the legal review process, SharePoint navigation can be scoped to “user views” to mimic the access of custodians-of-interest.

“With the growing popularity of using SharePoint beyond document collaboration, there’s a significant legal imperative to provide a more comprehensive view and control of SharePoint content,” said Keith Zoellner, CTO of StoredIQ.

“This new functionality will give inside counsel confidence that they have found and captured all pertinent information associated with each matter.”

The updated connector is available immediately with the release of StoredIQ 6.1.
