AXS-One Introduces Archive Solution

AXS-One announced the
release of the AXS-One Compliance Platform 3.7, the much-enhanced
version of its award-winning flagship product. Optimized for
scalability and policy-driven data retention, Version 3.7 is the first
and only archiving solution to provide comprehensive, integrated
functionality to ensure that records pertaining to a specific case or
cases are preserved and managed, in line with litigation hold orders
and that an auditable chain of custody supports testimony requirements.

Version 3.7 is dubbed The
Data Preservation Edition, and general availability has been timed to
coincide with the first anniversary of the amended Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure (FRCP). The amendments introduced new rules for the
discovery and handling of electronic records in Federal courts, placing
additional importance on the need for adequate data preservation as
well as introducing a new all-encompassing category of records
described as Electronically Stored Information (ESI).

“The
FRCP amendments have truly exposed the fragility of so many companies’
records management policies and technology. With so much focus on data
preservation and strict timelines for discovery orders, customers are
starting to re-evaluate their previous technology decisions and are
demanding tools that allow them to become pro-active about litigation
readiness as well as be able to handle more of the process in-house. As
far as the courts are concerned, if a record cannot be found, it may as
well not exist. Therefore, even the most careful archiving efforts can
be rendered useless without adequate data preservation tools,” said
Bill Lyons, CEO, AXS-One. “A comprehensive electronic records
management system with ‘self service’ case management tools is exactly
what the market is looking for.”

Lyons
added that: “FRCP requires litigation hold, which can prevent companies
from disposing of records. The AXS-One Preservation Edition, however,
allows companies to confidently start the disposition process.
Previously, companies would not delete e-mails, backup tapes or files
as they potentially contained ESI needed for litigation, but the
AXS-One system allows them to start the disposition process by
accurately retaining only essential business documents and particular
documents related to the specific litigation.”

The
AXS-One Data Preservation Edition specifically introduces extensively
enhanced workflow-based case management capabilities, improved PST and
File System Archiving functionality, enhancements to Microsoft Exchange
and Lotus Notes and Domino e-mail archiving modules (including support
for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Notes/Domino 8), significant
enhancement to reporting and the introduction of an online monitoring
dashboard as well as simplifying product administration and minimizing
training requirements, by adopting native user interfaces.

“AXS-One,
unlike other archiving providers, is solely focused on electronic
records management software. Building on our fifteen years of domain
expertise, we have focused our resources on updating our flagship
product to meet customer requirements and address the industry’s
massively evolving demands,” added Lyons . “With our customers
archiving up to half a terabyte of data per day on the one hand and
balancing the data preservation implications of hundreds of concurrent
cases on the other, the Data Preservation Edition builds on our
heritage of single platform and scalability to introduce the industry’s
first data preservation and case management solution for ESI.”

The
AXS-One Compliance Platform provides customers a seamless and easy to
implement solution to address the reactive, expensive and
labor-intensive responses to litigation and e-discovery. This is
achieved through a single archiving and electronic records management
software platform. The platform handles policy-based management of
disparate electronic records, including e-mail and instant messages,
reports, SAP documents and data, desktop documents, voice, video and
images. The solution, available as a client-side product as well as a
hosted offering through AXS-One partners, offers a range of
capabilities to address growing concerns and requirements for records
management as well as delivering exceptional operational savings and
superior ROI.
