IBM stellt heute mit dem eDiscovery Analyzer den zweiten Teil der eDiscovery-Lösung vor. Damit können Unternehmen elektronisch gespeicherte, geschäftskritische Informationen automatisiert sammeln, suchen und klassifizieren. Diese ganzheitliche Methodik zur Überwachung elektronischer Informationen ist bei den stetig wachsenden Compliance-Anforderungen unerlässlich.
Thomas Hampp, technischer Leiter für das Thema Text Analyse im deutschen IBM Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum in Böblingen: "Mit dem eDiscovery Analyzer als zweiten Teil unserer eDiscovery-Lösung geben wir Unternehmen erweiterte und verbesserte Möglichkeiten, ihre wichtigen E-Mail Daten auf rechtliche Relevanz hin zu untersuchen. Beispielsweise kann es im Rahmen von Ermittlungen oder zur Vorbereitung von juristischen Diskussionen wichtig sein zu wissen, wer was wann wo wusste. eDiscovery Analyzer erlaubt es, solche Fragen einfach und schnell zu beantworten. Das spart den Firmen nicht nur Zeit und Geld, sondern es hilft auch dabei, keine relevanten Informationen zu übersehen."
Neben dem zuletzt vorgestellten eDiscovery Manager bietet IBM mit dem eDiscovery Analyzer eine Softwarelösung für konzeptionelle Suche und inhaltliche Analysen. Anwälte oder Wirtschaftsprüfer können so schneller und effizienter nach rechtlich relevanten Dokumenten und elektronisch gespeicherten Beweisen für Gerichtsverfahren oder Prüfungen suchen und deren Relevanz beurteilen.
Wolfgang Jung, Content Discovery Sales Leader, IBM Deutschland erzählt: „Wir sind besonders stolz darauf, bereits den ersten Kunden nennen zu können. Toyota Financial Services, ein führender Anbieter von Finanz-Dienstleistungen für die Automobilbranche, setzt die IBM eDiscovery Lösung für das wachsende Email-Management und die Einhaltung von gesetzlichen Vorgaben bereits erfolgreich ein.

IBM Expands eDiscovery Portfolio with New Software to Help with Legal Case Assessment and the Search for Evidence
Toyota Turns to IBM and Neocol UK For Compliance of More than 100,000 E-mails Per Day
ARMONK, NY, September 24, 2008 – IBM (NYSE:IBM) today 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 also announced today that Toyota Financial Services, a leading provider of automotive financial services, is using the IBM eDiscovery Solution to address its growing e-mail management and legal discovery requirements.
“We were looking for a way to meet our Sarbanes-Oxley and Financial Services Authority regulatory compliance needs while implementing a system that would help us archive the hundreds of thousands of e-mails and attachments that we manage on a daily basis,” said Hemant Sohoni, Toyota Financial Services (UK) PLC. “IBM and Neocol UK provided us with the solution that we were looking for to meet our eDiscovery needs.”
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer, together with the recently announced IBM eDiscovery Manager, provide the 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 is designed to help legal professionals and litigation support specialists:
- Quickly identify and eliminate irrelevant and non-responsive e-mails to reduce case matter to a much smaller and relevant data set, helping reduce eDiscovery review costs
- Gain early insight into a case, understand key facts, locate key pieces of evidence, identify key witnesses and communication threads, and form early case strategies
- Flag, organize and prioritize documents for review, define the appropriate review strategy and optimize resources for review
- Gain a clear view of available case matter to effectively negotiate queries and term lists during the Meet and Confer stage
- Preserve chain of custody information to ensure security, auditability and defensibility
A single and secure repository for Toyota’s e-mail
Toyota Financial Services needed a strategic solution that could be used as a content repository for human resource documentation and correspondence, and support the human resource department for litigation needs. With the combined IBM-Neocol offering, Toyota Financial Services will collect and archive more than 1.3 million email and attachments – about 100,000 e-mails per day – in a single and secure repository. Here they will be dynamically accessible and help the company become more agile in responding to litigation requests.
Toyota Financial Services is also using IBM CommonStore for Lotus Domino and IBM Content Manager to help increase the operational efficiency of their messaging system and reduce their escalating storage costs, while IBM eDiscovery Manager is used to help accelerate their eDiscovery processes. The company is extending the reach of enterprise content management (ECM) standardization to their corporate legal departments that currently help archive, manage, share and deliver critical business information.
“Our clients are looking for a more effective way to collect, store, manage and retrieve their information,” said Ken Bisconti, vice president, product and strategy, IBM Enterprise Content Management. “This solution is built upon our complete ECM platform to provide a new approach to the process of eDiscovery. With the added capabilities of the new IBM eDiscovery Analyzer, organizations can now obtain detailed insight into discovered content early on in the process to help improve their legal strategy and reduce cost.”
IBM eDiscovery Analyzer will be available later this month from IBM and IBM Business Partners. For more information on IBM’s eDiscovery software, visit http://www.ibm.com/software/data/content-management/ediscovery.html.
