CaseCentral Unveils New Release of its Cloud-Based Integrated eDiscovery Products for ECA, Preservation, Analysis, Review and Production

Clients benefit from immediate availability with no deployment time or expense; receive instant access to latest functionality for enhanced self-service and ease of use

SAN FRANCISCO – June 15, 2010 - CaseCentral, the leader in secure, cloud-based eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms to simplify and take control of eDiscovery, today announced the release of 4.1, the latest software upgrade for its integrated CaseCentral eDiscovery Platform. CaseCentral clients gain immediate access to the full functionality of the new software release via the secure, private cloud delivery model. Benefits of the new software release include improved ease of use, enhanced self-service functionality and more administrative capabilities for clients managing single or multiple cases.

“Cloud-based eDiscovery software can provide important benefits to corporations and law firms,” said George Socha Jr., Esq., founder of Socha Consulting.  “These benefits can include lower costs and improved service delivery, resulting in less time and waste.”

Cloud-Based Delivery Model Provides Instant Access to Latest eDiscovery Upgrades
CaseCentral’s secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure and powerful private cloud delivery model, provides immediate access to the latest product features and enhancements for thousands of CaseCentral users in corporations and law firms, worldwide. As users access the software from their internet browser, the new features and enhancements are immediately available, with no need for IT departments to incur capital expenditure or waste time on application deployment, as is typical with on-premise software upgrades, releases and patches. 

The new software release offers attorneys and litigation support professionals increased self-service and ease of use benefits while extending security enhancements for CaseCentral’s enterprise-class disaster recovery and business continuity planning (BCP).

Application Delivery via the Cloud Provides Control without Burden of Infrastructure
When bringing eDiscovery in-house, corporations, law firms and service providers are finding a secure, private cloud-based application compelling. Clients control the eDiscovery process, data and access, without incurring the costs, risks and time delays inherent in on-premise software deployment and use. Cloud-based applications provide a centralized environment needed to give corporations and law firms control over their eDiscovery projects while enabling seamless collaboration with users outside the firewall, including service providers and outside counsel. Additionally, cloud-based applications minimize the requests for internal IT departments to constantly purchase infrastructure and modify corporate network and security standards for third party access, which increases security risks.

CaseCentral’s cloud-based eDiscovery applications provide elastic capacity, on-demand.  Clients can support large fluctuations in ESI data volumes without paying for additional storage hardware or infrastructure. And clients can add new users, reviewers and cases immediately without waiting on over-taxed IT departments.

“A big reason for choosing CaseCentral is the secure, private cloud delivery model,” said John Thickett, a Founder of Tusker Group.  “Getting software releases immediately to our reviewers helps us stay ahead of the game, which means more savings for our clients and more efficiencies for us.”

CaseCentral’s new functionality for attorneys and litigation support professionals includes:

Self-Service

• Folder creation assistant – Administrators can automatically create complex folder structures for very large data sets to aid in complex analysis, early case assessment and attorney review workflow
• Batch TIFF on Demand – Users can convert very large groups of native files to images without incurring conversion costs
• Subjective metadata management – Power users can create and modify designation templates and apply to a single case or apply to multiple cases in real-time

Ease of use

• Single flow for foldering of searches – Improves ability to create and populate folders from search results
• Extended batch coding – Extends the ability to bulk designate groups of documents and include their duplicates, near-duplicates or attachments, speeding review and improving consistency

Increased security and support

• New protocols and administrative features further strengthen security
• Improved transcript support – Support of LiveNote PTX file

 “The CaseCentral eDiscovery Cloud delivery model gives clients the fastest access to the latest software, helping them improve their time, risk and cost profile for eDiscovery activities,” said Steve d’Alencon, chief marketing officer, CaseCentral. “CaseCentral continues to lead the eDiscovery market with constant innovation and private cloud-based delivery to support our growing client base.”

In 2010 CaseCentral set a new standard for eDiscovery vendors by eliminating eDiscovery processing fees for Symantec Enterprise Vault customers who use the CaseCentral Connector for Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator.  And in May, 2010, CaseCentral was named as one of the Top 50 leading providers in the eDiscovery arena by Complex Discovery.
