EnCase eDiscovery: Flexible Licensing Options

Your Choice of Licensing Models



Select the Licensing Model that Best Suits your Needs

Key Benefits & Features

 

EnCase_eDiscovery_ContentLogoAt Guidance Software, we know that there is a lot of thought and consideration that goes into your eDiscovery purchase decision.  

 

It is our goal to make your purchase process as easy as possible. That's why we provide two licensing options - to help you select the one that best fits your needs and goals. 

Pay the Same Way as Outsourced Vendors at a Fraction of the Cost

 

The pay-per-use option enables a smooth transition from outsourcing to an in-house e-discovery model with continued operations budget cost allocation. The pay-per-use option gives customers the flexibility to process internal department charge-backs for each e-discovery collection, track third-party subpoena collections for cost recovery from the issuing party, and facilitate insurance reimbursements for use of EnCase eDiscovery software on a specific case.
 
This licensing option is based on the number of data stores searched, and the amount of data processed and exported to load files – regardless of the amount of data collected. 

Ensure Cost Predictability

 

 

The EnCase eDiscovery perpetual license empowers customers to transform electronic discovery from a hugely expensive variable cost – previously experienced from outsourcing – to a “zero marginal cost” business process. This ensures budget predictability and enables capital expense amortization “write-offs” with the perpetual licensing model.

 

When customers purchase EnCase eDiscovery as a perpetually licensed product, they experience a proven and fast return on investment. 

 

 

 

 Either Way - Enjoy Substantial Savings 

  

 

Data collection from outsourcing e-discovery results in increased expenses from over-collection by taking full hard drive acquisitions and processing all of the resulting data. The EnCase eDiscovery patented distributed search capabilities eliminate the need for full hard drive acquisitions, reducing the organization's costs and enabling customers to realize substantial savings. That means, with either licensing option, you win. 

 

 

 

Pay-Per-Use 

  • Only pay for the number of data stores searched and the amount of data processed on a case-by-case basis, at rates far below those charged by outsourced vendors.
  • Pay-Per-Use customers receive an Annual Training Passport to ensure your success in getting up and running quickly


Perpetual License 

  • Enables predictable budget planning with a one-time, capital expenditure
