The LookingGlass product enables monitoring and enforcement of corporate policies regarding communications. It enables corporations to control resource costs and growth while implementing a system that easily accesses and retrieves valuable corporate data for security, compliance or litigation issues.
E-Discovery
Litigation and the requests for companies’ electronically stored information (ESI) have driven costs of defending those lawsuits to unexpected levels with no end in sight. A company must walk through the following steps in order to access the liability, risks, and form a strategy when defending itself against unexpected litigation:
- Information Management
- Identification of the required data
- Preserve and secure the requested information
- Collect the requested information
- Process the requested information
- Analyze the requested information
- Review the requested information
- Produce the information timely
- Present the information
Companies expend tremendous number of resources (IT, Legal, Management, Security, Time, Money) in the preparation and strategy of a lawsuit in Steps 1 through 7. LookingGlass consolidates steps 1 through 6 and provides instant access to the correct information in a matter of minutes and hours reducing the time and costs associated in preparation for litigation.
Key E-Discovery Values
The courts are dramatically shortening the timeframes allowed for the e-discovery process so fast retrieval and sorting of e-mail records is a necessity. The inability to meet these demands within the given timeframes drives costs ever higher. Most organizations are ill prepared to meet current litigation demands. LookingGlass positions a company with the following:
- Fast search/retrieval and sorting of email records
- Reduced costs for litigation search
- Greater Accuracy in determining that all of the right data is included
- Minimizing the impact on IT resources to accomplish the search.
These abilities enable the company to gain control of their litigation process with a simple point and click system that can be used by the legal department.
Security
Protecting corporate assets and intellectual property is a key to successful corporate security. It is estimated that between 60 to 70% of a corporations intellectual property circulates through the email messaging systems and there is no trace of who sent them, where they are, and who has a copy of them.
Key Security Values
- Stealth monitoring of select individual or individuals, all communication and attachments retrieved instantly
