CaseCentral integrates information rights management (IRM) capabilities into its Discovery Lifecycle Management platform;

SAN FRANCISCO - April 30, 2007 - CaseCentral, the leader in on-demand discovery lifecycle management solutions for corporations and major law firms, today announced that it has brought control and protection to a new level in the eDiscovery world.  CaseCentral is the first company ever to build information rights management (IRM) into eDiscovery solutions.  The new functionality will allow customers to maintain control over their documents, even after they are produced and distributed outside the firewall.

CaseCentral, the leader in on-demand discovery lifecycle management solutions for corporations and major law firms, today announced that it has brought control and protection to a new level in the eDiscovery world.  CaseCentral is the first company ever to build information rights management (IRM) into eDiscovery solutions.  The new functionality will allow customers to maintain control over their documents, even after they are produced and distributed outside the firewall.

“This innovation has far-reaching implications for legal counsel and C-level executives at major corporations throughout North America,” said CaseCentral CEO Chris Kruse.  “Our Discovery Lifecycle Management solutions with IRM built in provide the best protection developed to date, and furthers our ability to drive down corporate risk and costs in ways no other eDiscovery provider can.”

Just months ago, CaseCentral introduced its Discovery Lifecycle Management (DLM) platform for corporations and law firms.  Discovery lifecycle management transforms legal discovery into a repeatable business process that improves discovery, lowers risk, and significantly reduces costs.  At its core, DLM enables multiple case management throughout the lifecycle of litigation.  Several of CaseCentral’s FORTUNE 100 and law firm customers have already realized great benefits using these solutions.

With today’s announcement, CaseCentral has further increased the benefits that DLM delivers by extending control and protection throughout the life of documents, regardless of where they are located, even after production.
The Benefits of Discovery Lifecycle Management with IRM:

    * Extend control beyond production:  Pull back inadvertent production; wrap trade secret or sensitive documents in advanced security; use the option to block copies, printing or screen captures; and disable all documents as soon as cases settle.
    * Decrease risk: Cases, counsel and corporations are less at risk when they still have control over documents that have been produced.
    * Enforce iron-clad security:  Maintaining control even when a document is outside the firewall delivers the highest security available in eDiscovery.
    * Assure across the enterprise:  General Counsel, CIO, CFO and CEOs can be confident that their data is secure with CaseCentral.

How IRM within Discovery Lifecycle Management Works:
Employing IRM capabilities within CaseCentral’s platform, users apply security policies to documents that define and enforce digital rights regardless of where the documents reside.  CaseCentral leverages proven technology from EMC as part of its solution.

    * Security policies remain in place after production regardless of location: backup tapes, laptops, e-mail servers, in the evidence repository of opposing counsel, or on an attorney’s desktop.
    * Every copy of the document will inherit the same policy, which is permanent until revoked.
    * Users can add advanced security to highly sensitive documents and optionally block the ability to print, copy or screen capture.
    * In case of inadvertent production, clawback can be executed immediately from the producing side.
    * All documents can be easily disabled as soon as cases settle with a push of a button.

CaseCentral bridges the gap between what the CIO needs for the enterprise, and what compliance officers and counsel need to meet regulatory and litigation demands in today’s business world.  “Our eDiscovery solutions go well beyond traditional litigation support.  Enabling organizations meet the new FRCP rules or using IRM to meet the highest standards of enterprise security, are good examples of how CaseCentral helps organizations succeed,” said Kruse.
