Introducing Arctera eDiscovery

This guide describes Arctera eDiscovery and describes how to use all of its key features.

Arctera eDiscovery is a web-based service that enables your company to respond proactively to litigation requests, ensure adherence to company communication policies, and meet regulatory requirements.

Arctera eDiscovery provides the tools to search your company's archived items (emails, collaboration messages, and files) to discover those that are pertinent to litigation cases or infringements of corporate policies and regulations. Arctera eDiscovery provides case management features for eDiscovery work, including the ability for multiple reviewers to collaborate during the eDiscovery process. Items that are found to be of interest can be exported for external review.

Note:

This updated edition of the Arctera eDiscovery User Guide incorporates information about the search feature that was previously included in the Arctera eDiscovery Search Guide.
