20090164790 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STORAGE OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA FOR ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY IN EXTERNAL DATA STORES - A method and system for storage of unstructured data in external data storage uses low-cost, minimally-functional external data stores (EDS) to store immutable, unstructured content. An external storage layer (ESL) interposed between an e-discovery management application (EMA), and the EDS constitutes an intermediary allowing access to external storage from the EMA and adding functionality unavailable on EDSs, offsetting the functional sacrifice incurred by using the EDS and preserving cost advantage. Caching content on the ESL during propagation to the EDS eliminates latency during file propagation. The ESL creates metadata and maintains an index of the data, allowing the data owner to search and retrieve from the EDS. The ESL compresses, decompresses, encrypts and decrypts data. An ESL vendor can service a number of clients on a fee or subscription basis. The ESL can distribute client data across EDSs and mirror data stored on a first ESL on another ESL. | 06-25-2009 |
20090165026 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONIC DATA DISCOVERY - A method and apparatus is taught that removes or minimizes human participation in the collection or hold process, pursuant to electronic discovery, in a robust, fast, transparent, and legally defensible manner. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus that ensures a robust and defensible way of communicating electronic discovery collection and hold requests from electronic discovery management systems to disparate data sources in a uniform way. | 06-25-2009 |
20090187797 | PROVIDING COLLECTION TRANSPARENCY INFORMATION TO AN END USER TO ACHIEVE A GUARANTEED QUALITY DOCUMENT SEARCH AND PRODUCTION IN ELECTRONIC DATA DISCOVERY - Full text index-ability, indexing, and container extraction status of files in a collection repository is displayed to a user in connection with content management in EDiscovery. Thus, the user knows which files failed to index and explode and which files that are not indexable. The user also knows which files have not been indexed yet, so they are not omitted from an analysis. Accordingly, users can start working on collected files without waiting for the maximum possible indexing period. Further, users can start working immediately on the collected content, thus avoiding slowing down the work during frequent updates to the content repository. Only indexing and extraction status information that is relevant to the search query is displayed, thus minimizing the time needed to analyze the files that are not indexed or not exploded manually. Automatic and manual update of a list of un-indexable file types is provided, based on historical information collected during collection repository operation, thus enhancing the user experience with time and adapting the EMA to new file types. Further, both the person who performed the collection and the person who manages the EDiscovery effort are kept informed about the processing status of the collection by sending notifications, displaying alerts, and by providing appropriate views. | 07-23-2009 |
20090326969 | Method and Apparatus for Managing the Disposition of Data in Systems When Data is on Legal Hold - This disclosure relates to systems, methods and apparatuses for managing the disposition of data for an event consumer while taking into account whether data has been held from disposition. | 12-31-2009 |
20090327375 | Method and Apparatus for Handling Edge-Cases of Event-Driven Disposition - Retention of data is managed and data holds are enforced. At least one event consumer data source contains data that is subject to a retention schedule that defines rules for the disposition of the data. An enterprise retention management (ERM) application accepts at least one hold request that defines at least a portion of the data that must be held from disposition. A disposition request is also accepted by the ERM that comprises an instruction to dispose of at least a portion of the data based on the rules within the retention schedule. The disposition request is filtered to dispose of the portion of data identified in the disposition request minus the held data, which comprises disposition survivor data. An event-driven disposition mechanism disposes of the disposition survivor data as soon as possible after the disposition survivor data is released from hold or unlocked. | 12-31-2009 |
20090328070 | Event Driven Disposition - This disclosure relates to systems, methods and apparatuses for managing the retention and disposition of data for an event consumer using an Enterprise Retention Management System wherein the management is driven by business events. | 12-31-2009 |
20110153578 | Method And Apparatus For Propagation Of File Plans From Enterprise Retention Management Applications To Records Management Systems - Integration between Enterprise Records Management systems (ERMs) and Records Management Systems (RMSs) is provided, thus providing a robust record classification and retention schedule enforcement process in large enterprises. Typically, ERMs have been designed from the ground up to be highly scalable across multiple national and regional jurisdictions, whereas RMS's were primarily departmental. Proper integration between ERMs and RMSs, as provided by the invention, allows corporations to deploy larger scale multi-organizational instances of RMSs, thus achieving a better level of control and significant economies of scale. | 06-23-2011 |
20110153579 | Method and Apparatus for Policy Distribution - A computer apparatus and computer implemented method for policy distribution provides a Records Management System (RMS) that is configured for setting up and maintaining local record classification and disposition policies. An Enterprise Retention Management (ERM) application comprises a centralized workflow configured for managing retention policies for an entity. An application layer in the ERM comprises a propagation workflow that is configured for managing retention policy integration between the ERM and the RMS. The propagation workflow thus provides automated retention policy propagation from the ERM to the RMS. | 06-23-2011 |
20140330882 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLAYING WEB-BASED TRAINING CONTENT ON A CLIENT COMPUTER SYSTEM - A method and system for playing web-based training content on a client computer system are provided. The method includes accessing previously downloaded web-based training content stored in a first memory coupled to the client computer system and playing a portion of the web-based training content on the client computer system while the client computer system is offline. The method further includes storing results associated with playing the portion of the web-based training content in a second memory coupled to the client computer system. The method further includes, in response to detecting the client is online, synchronizing results of the playing with a host computer system. | 11-06-2014 |
