Laptop/Desktop

Laptop/Desktop Overview

As the workforce has transitioned to knowledge workers, corporations' information assets have grown steadily, which also has increased the volume of electronic stored information (ESI) created and stored. With today's mobile technology, knowledge workers roam freely and work where convenient. Whether in a office, at a coffee shop, airport or home office, the origination and storage point of upwards of 50% of a corporation's informational assets are distributed through their network on laptops and desktops. The knowledge workers' mobility creates new challenges in eDiscovery, intellectual property management, data leakage prevention (DLP), data theft prevention, and information management policy enforcement.

Information Management Challenges

Today, corporations need a robust strategy to manage their mobile informational assets because Laptop and Desktop analysis and collection has become the primary concern of litigants in cases involving electronically stored information (ESI). Corporations spend millions on manual and labor intensive processes which often results in cost overruns due to over-collection. Over-collection is a significant challenge, since manual and electronic discovery does not historically includes an in-place hold for early assessments all data had to be collected. Corporations need an intelligent, cost effective, accurate and automatic method to identify, collect, preserve, process, analyze and review relevant information on laptop and desktop computers with both, in-place and copy and hold features, for early assessment and evidence preservation.
