Console provides auditable workflows
Autonomy has unveiled the Autonomy Chaining Console, a dashboard that provides corporate legal departments with greater visibility and defensibility.
By eliminating the need for risky and inefficient data handoffs through each step of the eDiscovery process, the Chaining Console allows in-house and outside counsel to form a "virtual chain," so they can stay in lock-step on legal matters through all phases of the EDRM.
Managing litigation has traditionally been a highly complex and costly process. It can require a corporation to simultaneously manage dozens of cases and multiple law firms. Legal teams struggle to gain visibility into their overall case activity, risks, and potential costs.
Additionally, legacy tools create risk through each step in the process, requiring unnecessary import, export, and transfer of data, increasing the risk of spoliation and costly sanctions by the courts.
Autonomy's Chaining Console eliminates these complexities and risks by providing the legal team with insight into the overall litigation profile of the corporation, all from one dashboard. The general counsel obtains an immediate understanding of overall risk and exposure, litigation counsel gains insight into the case management process, and outside counsel has immediate access to the information needed to formulate and execute a winning legal strategy.
Corporate counsel and outside counsel can link together to work directly on cases in real-time, forming a chain between the various legal experts for a particular case. These dynamic virtual teams can use one common platform to manage the entire litigation process throughout the entire chain of custody. Since there are no risky handoffs or importing and exporting of data, the legal team can produce a defensible and auditable process.
The Autonomy Chaining Console provides the following capabilities:
* Visibility into each phase of the EDRM;
* Secure cloud access, linking together inside and outside counsel;
* Analysis of critical data points, including: case status, cost, data volume, and litigation trends; and
* Automatic reports demonstrating defensibility and chain of custody.
"The Autonomy Chaining Console provides visibility into complex litigation through a single interface," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy Protect. "By automating defensibility, our customers benefit from the use of a common end-to-end eDiscovery platform that maintains chain of custody while working with dozens of law firms across hundreds of simultaneous cases."
