A powerful, unique solution for legal hold lifecycle management.

The ZANTAZ Proactive Information Risk Management (PIRM) solution enables organizations to manage and control information across the entire enterprise. A critically important component of that solution set is the Aungate Desktop Legal Hold product, which extends the ZANTAZ value right to the edge of the network, to the end users' desktop and laptop computers. The product provides local and continuous real-time monitoring and preservation of information without the need of a continuous network connection.

Top of mind among legal and IT executives is the critical principle that an organization has a duty to preserve relevant electronically stored information (ESI) when litigation or an investigation is reasonably anticipated. It's a top priority because failure to preserve and produce ESI can have severe consequences. However, executing and managing the life cycle of multiple legal holds simultaneously, a challenge facing most of the global 2000, is truly daunting.

Aungate Real-Time Legal Hold Management is a powerful application that enables legal and compliance teams to establish repeatable and defensible legal hold processes and practices to manage their cases, custodians, notifications, collections and dispositions.

Capabilities include but are not limited to:

• Designing and organizing hold projects for internal and external investigations, and law suites
• Identifying key custodians and building notification and interview workflows
• Designing interview guides for custodian interviews
• Configuring options to preserve and collect custodian documents including self-service upload to a secure repository, preserving-in-place and auto collection
• Implementing policies to issue, and monitor acknowledgements, reminders and rescind notices in real-time
• Auditing and reporting on the legal hold lifecycle from a dashboard integrated with the Real-Time Policy Management system
• Sourcing custodian information from a variety of directories, such as Active Directory or HR Systems, and maintaining connectivity to capture changes or modifications
• Cataloguing data sources & deploy automated collection agents leveraging Autonomy IDOL
• Integration with downstream third party eDiscovery operations as well as Autonomy eDiscovery modules

In addition, Aungate Real-Time Legal Hold fits within any organization's existing matter management and IT infrastructure. Legal processes such as identification, preservation and collection, must be defensible under intense scrutiny. Our comprehensive and fully audited legal hold case management workflow requires each custodian to explicitly recognize the matter and identify all potential sources of responsive information, including computers, handheld devices, external media and paper documents. This information, along with the ongoing collection and in-place preservation activities that is automatically captured to enable the legal teams to monitor and report on every aspect of the process, up to and including suspending legal hold and issuing rescind notices.
