Moving Information & Data

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) illustrates the challenges of collecting, preserving and processing information. The model shows a single box, "Records Management," as a simple input into the electronic discovery process.

The business reality could not be more different. Information is locked inside end users' desktops and departmental file systems, embedded in collaboration and email systems, integrated into business processes and part of Line-of- Business systems. Records are almost never in an easy-to-access, homogeneous form.

How Do Manual Legacy Techniques Approach the Problem of Moving Information & Data?

In the past, it was up to people and manual processes to prepare information and data for high-value processes such as legal discovery and information management. People and manual processes are both inefficient and inaccurate. And as content grows in an organization, and discovery techniques become more sophisticated, the burden becomes unmanageable.

How does Autonomy ZANTAZ Resolve Challenges of Moving Information and Data?

The only practical solution to enterprise information management is not to move information and data. Key business processes must access the information where it exists, provide the needed performance, respect security and preserve enterprise records. To accomplish that, an organization must implement an architecture where information remains secure in enterprise systems and is Managed in Place (MIP).

Autonomy ZANTAZ provides the platform for a MIP environment in an enterprise by reaching into the many information and data repositories and making them actionable for many business processes including Legal Discovery. IDOL can access the hundreds of repository types, and manage 1,000 document formats found in today's enterprise architectures.

Autonomy ZANTAZ is the only vendor to offer an entire spectrum of proactive IRM solutions on a common platform. IDOL brings key conceptual advances to the IRM market with the ability to understand the meaning of information and interactions, and to perform advanced analytics on information across operational systems and consolidated archives. Rich MIP capabilities allow Autonomy ZANTAZ to eliminate the challenge of moving information between processes in the EDRM model.
