IBM Expands eDiscovery Portfolio to Help with Legal Case Assessment and Search for Evidence

IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced eDiscovery Analyzer, new conceptual search and content analysis software to help legal professionals accelerate eDiscovery as they collect and assess evidence, agree upon search terms, and cull information for use in legal cases. IBM eDiscovery Analyzer, together with the recently announced IBM eDiscovery Manager, provide a foundation for an in-house eDiscovery platform, enabling organizations to become more proactive in controlling electronic information and more agile in responding to litigation, while reducing cost by decreasing the volume of information reviewed outside the organization. Using the scalable IBM Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, IBM eDiscovery collects, organizes, manages and retrieves relevant enterprise information in a security-rich, access-and-change audited manner. It enables a disciplined approach that helps reduce cost and risk while delivering ongoing operational benefits. IBM eDiscovery Analyzer will be available later this month from IBM and IBM Business Partners. http://www.ibm.com/software/data/content-management/ediscovery.html
