Seagate Subsidiary MetaLINCS Delivers E-Discovery as Managed Services

MetaLINCS, a Seagate Technology company in intelligent, enterprise-class E-Discovery technology, announced their E-Discovery Platform, a managed services offering that is built upon the proprietary MetaLINCS Enterprise E-Discovery Suite of software, which meets users needs across the lifecycle of electronic data discovery. Already in use by some of the world’s largest corporations, the managed services focus on the critical E-Discovery phases of collection, processing, review, analysis and production.

"In order to meet the increasing demands of compliance or legal requests for electronic documents to be collected, processed, and reviewed many of our customers who license the MetaLINCS E-Discovery Software Suite for in-house E-Discovery have expressed the desire to also use our solutions as a managed service for peak load periods and specific projects," said Ramon Nunez, president of the MetaLINCS business unit of Seagate Services. Continued Nunez, "Our customers want the flexibility to bring E-Discovery software in-house as well as use our services for critical components of the E-Discovery flow or an entire project. MetaLINCS offerings as part of the Seagate Services portfolio are in a unique position to offer this level of service and flexibility."

MetaLINCS analysis-powered E-Discovery quickly culls and de-duplicates massive amounts of data and, in the same integrated environment, applies proprietary advanced analysis technology for early case assessment and set up of document review work-flow. When it comes time for review the fully enabled Web 2.0 interface gives reviewers easy access to the prioritized and organized content. The MetaLINCS E-Discovery Platform combined with Seagate Professional Services for IT support to project management are ideal for supporting distributed teams and the ecosystem of inside counsel, outside counsel, IT, and service providers.

MetaLINCS analysis powered E-Discovery technology supports and accelerates the entire electronically stored data discovery process and has quickly set the standard for efficient and effective E-Discovery. The MetaLINCS E-Discovery software and managed services solutions are the industry’s only integrated collection, processing, review, analysis and production option solving the problem of disjointed tool chains and lost productivity. Their ease-of-use and overall workflow flexibility are enabling corporations, law firms and regulatory agencies to improve accuracy while cutting risk, cost and time. Managed Services, including Professional Services and Premium Support, are available through Seagate Services and selected partners.
