OpenText offers integrated products and services supporting the business practices, information management, electronic discovery reference model (EDRM) needs, and proactive compliance requirements of the legal industry. In a rapidly evolving marketplace, OpenText solutions help clients:
- Securely manage legal content and automate processes: Legal professionals are responsible for handling some of the organization’s most sensitive information, as well as leveraging that information for key, repeatable processes like onboarding. To be successful, information must be professionally managed in a purpose-built system to balance security with access and enable automation for critical efficiencies.
- Intelligently search documents and identify experts: Legal professionals know the importance of words and have to rapidly retrieve and reference a variety of documents every day. That information must be searchable without exact keywords and oftentimes without even knowing where to look. Identifying internal subject matter experts and sharing tribal knowledge is also crucial for legal professionals.
- Forensically collect evidence: Legal professionals are on the front-lines of litigation and compliance, collecting key data and potential evidence from corporate devices like smartphones, laptops, and workstations. That information must be obtained and preserved in a legally defensible manner with judicially-approved tools so that regulators and opposing parties cannot challenge the data’s integrity.
- Expedite large-scale eDiscovery review and investigations: Legal professionals must review, analyze, redact, and produce documents every day for internal investigations, due diligence, compliance, and litigation. Efficiently searching through mountains of data to find the few key documents that make or break your case is only achievable with the assistance of machine learning and advanced analytics.†
