SAN FRANCISCO - May 01, 2008 - CaseCentral, a leader in delivering eDiscovery solutions that empower FORTUNE 1000 corporations and the law firms that support them, today announced that "Take Control of eDiscovery," its latest Webcast to help demystify electronic discovery for corporate legal and IT professionals, is now available for immediate viewing.

CaseCentral, which works with the Fortune 1000 and many of the nation’s largest law firms, has been advising clients to take a number of steps to improve their technology and electronic discovery processes to ensure FRCP compliance.  CaseCentral’s recommendations focus on three key areas and include the following:

"Corporate legal teams are struggling to gain better control of eDiscovery, while CTO's are concerned with security and efficiency, and want to bring business processes to litigation and regulatory response," said Tom Thimot, President and CEO of CaseCentral. "At the same time, CFOs are increasingly alarmed as costs continue to rise. Our new Webcast helps identify ways that corporations can take control of eDiscovery and reduce legal, regulatory and financial risks."

"We are proud to provide this free Webcast to help legal and IT leaders from both corporations and law firms gain valuable insight from a leading Gartner Research analyst, as well as groundbreaking eDiscovery best practices from AXA Equitable," Thimot added.
