PSS Systems Announces the Release of Atlas Compliance Automation 2.0 for eDiscovery
November 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment
PSS Systems is probably best known in the e-discovery community for its legal hold solutions. Over time, however, PSS Systems has built an entire suite of applications dedicated to the governance of information over its entire lifecycle, from creation to disposal. From its origins helping attorneys manage legal holds in their organizations, PSS Systems has expanded their offerings into the IT environment, so that essential communications between the IT and Legal departments can be facilitated.
From this foundation, PSS Systems added an information governance module, enabling the enterprise to develop retention periods for the different classifications of information within the company. An enforced retention policy is the only legal means by which information can be legitimately disposed of within the organization. A retention policy is the means by which the organization can prove to the courts that information was no longer needed for either business, legal or regulatory reasons. Since litigation holds are the exception to the rules set forth in the retention schedule, it was natural for PSS Systems to integrate their legal hold capabilities in both the legal and IT areas with their information governance offering.
The integrated capabilities offer significant advantages to the enterprise. An effective retention policy allows the company to store only data with value – leading to significant reductions in information storage, data management and discovery costs. Pinpointed legal holds reduce the overall risks to the company inherent in both over- and under-preservation.
The release of Atlas Compliance Automation 2.0 for eDiscovery further extends these capabilities directly into IBM, Symantec, Mimosa and Stored IQ ediscovery and information management systems. Thus, legal hold parameters, information collection instructions and retention requirements can be federated directly into these repositories.
The new release allows visibility into both unstructured data sources (such as SharePoint and network file stores) and structured data sources (databases, such as SAP or PeopleSoft), along with a full set of third party development tools which allow programmers to develop interfaces with sophisticated applications built on top of these structured sources.
