eDiscovery Proof of Concept
The legal and IT departments of a major chemical manufacturer were debating a move to Office 365. The legal department had questions and concerns around what their Office 365 eDiscovery workflow would look like as compared to their existing workflow built on their on-premises tools. The KLDiscovery Office 365 team spun up a trial tenant, populated it with sample data and provided the client with training and hands-on interactive guidance. The client was able to address their concerns and is currently negotiating their E5 licensing with Microsoft.
Back-end Reporting
A client engaged in a wage-and-hour dispute faced a vexing demand from opposing counsel to provide highly detailed reporting about email volumes over an extended period of time for a large number of custodians. The client was able to provide the information from its on-premises Exchange environment, but there was no way for the client to accomplish the task through the Office 365 web interface. The KLDiscovery Office 365 team was able to leverage its expert knowledge of the Office 365 back-end to provide the client with reporting from Office 365 that was comparable to the on-premises reporting.
Keyword Vetting
A client was conducting a highly sensitive internal investigation with reputational risks to both the company as well as to several top executives. Ensuring that searches conducted for potentially relevant materials in the client’s Office 365 tenant were both accurate and consistent with searches conducted on other data sources was paramount. Our team reviewed the hundreds of complex search phrases devised by counsel, correctly translated them into Office 365 search syntax and successfully demonstrated that the terms were returning accurate and consistent results.
Data Remediation
A client was under court order to delete thousands of specifically identified messages from their Office 365 tenant. The available documentation from Microsoft suggested a method that, while valid, would have taken approximately 30 days to complete. Our Office 365 consultants and engineers worked with the Microsoft Security and Compliance product team to write, test, and validate an improved script that accomplished the task in a matter of hours.
