OverviewReduce Costs and Mitigate Risk by Taking Control of your End-to-End E-Discovery Process with EnCase® eDiscovery EnCase eDiscovery is the electronic discovery (e-discovery) solution of choice for addressing the end-to-end e-discovery needs of corporations and government agencies. This comprehensive and scalable software solution, which includes EnCase eDiscovery Review, effectively manages electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation, arbitration, and internal or regulatory investigations by significantly reducing the risk and expense associated with e-discovery. With EnCase eDiscovery, you’re equipped in one complete product with all the essential capabilities you need from legal hold, identification, collection and preservation to processing, early case assessment (ECA), analytics, review and production. Whether for a single case or multiple matters, EnCase eDiscovery delivers exceptional value, resulting in faster, more cost-effective and consistent discovery while reducing risk. EnCase eDiscovery: E-Discovery Done Right The EnCase eDiscovery system provides a comprehensive and scalable set of software capabilities for managing electronic evidence both inside your company and with your external legal team partners. The solution meets all requirements to support the legal department business process enabling the status of projects to be viewed, audited, and communicated to others. By deploying EnCase eDiscovery, a single system for automating and managing these critical business processes, your in-house legal and IT teams will gain better management and oversight of every phase of the e-discovery process and reduce cost and risk at the same time. Built on a distributed and scalable architecture, the award-winning system identifies, collects and processes only potentially relevant data, preserving documents and associated metadata in the court-validated EnCase Legal Evidence File format. This robust and auditable process ensures complete chain of custody from the moment the legal hold is issued until documents are produced.  EnCase eDiscovery Complete speeds your response time by simplifying workflow at every phase of the process. EnCase eDiscovery Review: Reducing the Cost of Document Review EnCase eDiscovery Review delivers enormous efficiencies and scalability to legal document review by providing your legal team with web-based review tools such as dynamic concepts, faceted navigation, related-document review, near-duplicate technology, email threading, and a host of other real-world features, all aimed at accelerating document review, driving accuracy, and reducing volume. In addition, EnCase eDiscovery Review provides your legal team with a central legal repository featuring fully integrated multi-matter support. This powerful capability enables any number of attorneys to operate securely on any number of cases within the same virtual workspace, on the same set of documents—independently or in collaboration—without compromising confidentiality. The centralized legal repository retains all work product, reduces the likelihood of errors, enables you to apply standard processes across all cases, compares current cases to previous matters, and ensures that documents withheld in one matter are never produced in another, dramatically lowering the risk profile of legal activity for your organization. EnCase eDiscovery + Review: One System, Driving Value, Reducing Risk. Learn MoreManage One to Many Matters in a Collaborative E-Discovery Environment Corporate e-discovery teams often include members from HR, IT, Information Security, and Legal, which can make using a solution built only for litigation specialists a cumbersome process. Built especially for the enterprise, EnCase® eDiscovery Complete offers everything your team needs for complete, defensible, and accurate results in your e-discovery process for litigation and investigatory matters. When to Bring E-Discovery In-House In today’s legal and technological landscape, the best determinant of whether or not you should bring e-discovery in-house isn’t the size of your organization, but rather the number of cases you address each year. Even if you typically handle only two cases per year, if they’re relatively large cases, EnCase® eDiscovery Complete can save you tremendous time, cost, and risk. As Gartner Research Distinguished Analyst Deb Logan said recently in a joint webinar, “Most companies with any kind of level of litigation at all—maybe even 10 cases a year or one or two big cases a year with multiple custodians—should really give serious thought to bringing the process in-house.” Perform Early Case Assessment on Multiple Matters at Any Point Centralized Legal Repository  Only EnCase eDiscovery Complete can provide your legal team with a centralized legal repository featuring fully integrated multi-matter support.
