Forensically Preserve, Collect, and Analyze electronically stored information seamlessly during early case assessment directly from your computer.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- Atlanta-based earlyCASE, the leader in advanced early case assessment for Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and eDiscovery, today released forensic drive imaging, data collection and preservation capabilities in its market-leading eDiscovery early case aessment software available as Software-as-a-Service “SaaS” from www.earlycase.com. earlyCASE is a SaaS web-based eDiscovery application which uses an on-demand deployment model (runs on your local PC), collects, preserves, analyzes and filters the ESI that your computer can access in-place without the data ever leaving your computer or network.
earlyCASE allows you to quickly and safely collect, organize, understand eDiscovery data, and apply filter / culling rules before it is processed for discovery. It supports Unicode, extracts metadata, generates hash values, detects duplicates, removes known system files and creates a local inventory database of documents and emails. earlyCASE allows users to make informed discovery decisions, easily and quickly cut down the size of data sets through filter and culling rules before going into the meet and confer, discovery processing and document review.
In the past, making forensic copies of hard drives, network shares, thumb drives, etc. had to be handled in separate steps. earlyCASE streamlines the process of collecting and preserving ESI, and conducting a complete early case assessment seamlessly. With the release today of the version 2.0 of earlyCASE, you can create forensic images of Logical as well as Physical drives, encrypt and digitally sign drive images and irrevocably bind chain of custody information to the drive image file. These new features further extend earlyCASE’s ability to analyze, apply filter rules and see in real time the reduction in size and counts these rules have, and then use earlyCASE to quickly separate the filtered documents, files and emails from the collection all without any additional software or costs. The Forensic drive imaging capabilities are available in the FREE version of earlyCASE as well as the Professional version.
“We are excited to now offer integrated forensic imaging and data collection capabilities in the list of features available in earlyCASE. In addition to creating forensic ESI images, earlyCASE has expanded its licensing options for the professional version to include more flexible per matter and per month pricing. The low cost, flexibility and speed that eDiscovery early case assessment as a software- as-a-service delivers is unparalleled,” said Tom Strack, CEO of earlyCASE. “As more focus is being put on identifying, collecting and preserving ESI early in a matter, having a seamless, easy solution which can be run when and where you need it delivers not only better visibility to what you have, but a more defensible and complete process. earlyCASE can safely and defensibly collect, rapidly analyze that data and decrease the data sets that need to be reviewed, reducing not only eDiscovery budgets, but managing their legal risk. earlyCASE can process the data in-place without it ever leaving where it is stored, using your own people and equipment and without any per gigabyte charges. “
earlyCASE is offered in three versions, a Basic (FREE) version, a Professional version which can be licensed per run, per matter or per month and an enterprise edition. earlyCASE creates over 54+ high-quality eDiscovery reports, details the expanded sizes and counts of the data, estimates your processing and review budget and provides a long list of detailed as well as summary reports.
