With the Atlas Enterprise Discovery Management solution set: Atlas Discovery for Legal, Discovery for IT and Discovery for Employees. Proven, sustainable solution for discovery risk in the world's largest enterprises
Legal holds is an enterprise issue, not a law department issue. The data that needs to be held and the people that need to act on the hold are broadly distributed across the enterprise. In fact, discovery risk is heavily concentrated in how effectively the legal department can engage with the people who have and manage data from scoping and determining the custodians and sources, to implementing the hold, to initial and subsequent collections. None of these activities can be done with efficacy or efficiency without a comprehensive approach; moreover those companies that take an enterprise approach to managing holds are able to scope more precisely, predict discovery costs from day one, eliminate discovery on discovery, avoid settlement driven by process crises, and review and produce less data.
Hold notices are necessary but insufficient — understanding the hold obligation and continuous compliance by enterprise stakeholders is critical. For large enterprises or those with active litigation portfolios, the volume of activity and the complex data environment require more than simple notice automation to address and mitigate risk — token compliance is false comfort and may not meet counsel's ethical duties. For those companies equally concerned about the cost of risk mitigation, the enterprise holds process must include the release of holds and the ability to defensibly dispose of data.

With Atlas Enterprise Discovery Management legal hold software, your company can efficiently achieve compliance with self-service portals for Legal, Employees and IT. Employees receive targeted, explicit notices and questionnaires and can look up their specific holds from the intranet at any time; release notices include links to still-open holds. Legal can readily track systems, data and custodians in holds while IT can easily look up any employee or system on demand to determine applicable holds and collections. End-to-end workflow with IT ensures that collection instructions are clear, the status of discovery jobs is shared across legal and IT and redundant record-keeping and collections are completely eliminated. With an integrated process, exception management, and workflow automation, completing legal requests takes less effort and becomes a measurable and transparent process.
