Manage Unstructured Data with Unified Archiving: A Case Study
As data volumes grow in today’s digital workplace, so do costs and risks associated with storing large amounts of data for litigation, investigations, regulatory requests, compliance and other requirements. To address these costs and risks, organizations need one technology system to seamlessly address information management, bringing together data from disparate systems while eliminating duplicate data sets. The compliance and ediscovery challenges of one organization are documented in a recent case study, developed by ZL Technologies and KrolLDiscovery.
An Archiving Case Study
A large, international bank, based in Switzerland, operated two instances of a compliance technology solution. These compliance tools were incompatible and incapable of merging, thereby creating an unnecessarily complex compliance process. Also, the bank sought a platform that would facilitate searching for documents across the enterprise to aid in collecting and producing documents in legal discovery matters.
The bank understood that while compliance and ediscovery are often treated as separate functions, the two are closely interrelated and use much of the same data. This relationship led the bank to look for a solution that could offer a single repository for both systems in order to streamline compliance and ediscovery processes. The bank turned to KrolLDiscovery and its partner ZL Technologies to assist in implementing such a solution. Combining KrolLDiscovery’s experts in data management with ZL Technologies’ dynamic information governance platform, enables enterprises to better understand what data they have and where it resides.
The ZL solution was initially deployed in the bank’s Americas region, specifically in the United States and Canada. Once proven successful in these locales, the bank decided to launch the solution in other international locations, deploying it in its Bahamas, Europe and Asia offices. Beyond standardizing on a unified, global compliance and ediscovery technology platform, the bank also established its governance and data management principles as well as compliance and ediscovery workflows, critical goals for the global enterprise.
