Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery. Embodiments herein disclosed provide for an enterprise wide electronic management server that provides for data to be identified, located, retrieved, preserved, searched, reviewed and produced in an efficient and cost-effective manner across the entire enterprise system. In addition, by structuring management of e-discovery based on case/matter, custodian and data and providing for linkage between the same, further efficiencies are realized in terms of identifying, locating and retrieving data and leveraging results of previous e-discoveries with current requests.
Claims48
A method of collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, comprising:
- identifying the location of data at a node in a shared drive, wherein the data is data at the node location and all of the associated hierarchal data located below the node, using a processing device operatively coupled to a memory device and a communication device, and configured to execute computer-readable program code;
- capturing the data from the shared drive using the processing device;
- and
- transferring the data to the electronic discovery system using the processing device.
A method of collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, comprising:
- identifying metadata associated with data captured from a shared drive, using a processing device operatively coupled to a memory device and a communication device, and configured to execute computer-readable program code;
- capturing the metadata associated with the data captured from the shared drive, using the processing device;
- and
- reconstructing the data captured from the shared drive into accessible data for the electronic discovery system by utilizing the information contained in the metadata, using the processing device.
A collection tool system, for collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, comprising:
- a memory device;
- a communication device;
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, and configured to execute computer-readable program code to:
- identify the location of the data at a node in a shared drive, wherein the data is the data at the node and all of the associated hierarchal data located below the node;
- capture the data from the shared drive;
- and
- transfer the data to the electronic discovery system.
A collection tool system, for collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, comprising:
- a memory device;
- a communication device;
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, and configured to execute computer-readable program code to:
- identify metadata associated with the data captured from the shared drive;
- capture the metadata associated with the data from the shared drive;
- and
- reconstruct the data captured from the shared drive into accessible data for the electronic discovery system by utilizing the information contained in the metadata.
A computer program product for a collection tool system, for collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion configured for identifying the location of data at a node in a shared drive, wherein the data is the data at the node location and all of the associated hierarchal data located below the node, using a processing device operatively coupled to a memory device and a communication device;
- an executable portion configured for capturing the data from the shared drive, using the processing device;
- and
- an executable portion configured for transferring the data to the electronic discovery system using the processing device.
A computer program product for a collection tool system, for collecting data from a shared drive for an electronic discovery system, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion configured for identifying metadata associated with the data captured from the shared drive, using the processing device operatively coupled to a memory device and a communication device;
- an executable portion configured for capturing the metadata associated with the data from the shared drive, using the processing device;
- and
- an executable portion configured for reconstructing the data captured from the shared drive into accessible data for the electronic discovery system by utilizing the information contained in the metadata, using the processing device.
