Press Release
Mimosa Systems and Informative Graphics Partner to Deliver
Comprehensive Archiving and Redaction for eDiscovery and Data
Protection
Combination of Mimosa NearPoint and Redact-It Enterprise
Server Allows Companies to Securely Retain, Search, Recover,
and Redact Responsive Content to Expedite eDiscovery and Protect
Data Privacy
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.— September
15, 2009 —Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email, file and SharePoint archiving
solutions, and Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader
in viewing,
collaboration and redaction technology, today
announced a strategic partnership to deliver a combined solution
for the secure retention, search, recovery and
redaction of responsive content – such
as emails, files, SharePoint data, and instant messages to
expedite eDiscovery and
protect data privacy. The combined use of Mimosa
NearPointTM and IGC’s Redact-It® Enterprise
Server assures that companies remain in compliance with privacy
regulations while delivering information transparency and
streamlining electronic discovery processes for litigation
readiness.
“The efficient management of the eDiscovery process
requires a number of functions, from secure archiving, search
and classification to the redaction of sensitive content and
privacy information,” said Gary Heath, president and
CEO of IGC. “Through the combination of Mimosa NearPoint
and Redact-It, companies can assure better, faster litigation
readiness by embedding privacy compliance and protection of
privileged information embedded into the process. The two products
are an ideal combination for any company building a comprehensive
eDiscovery and data protection strategy.”
Mimosa NearPoint offers a full feature set designed to automate
information management for the active identification, collection
and preservation of user-generated content. Through the capture
of all content and metadata from email, attachments, folders,
deletions, calendars, contacts, notes, tasks, files on laptops
and fileservers, and SharePoint objects NearPoint can quickly
identify relevant content as part of an eDiscovery, or disclosure
request. Once initial information has been identified, NearPoint
delivers key features including individual item-level legal
holds, conversation and proximity analysis, and an intuitive
search within a search while demonstrating chain of custody
as archived content moves through the workflow.
Once responsive information has been identified using NearPoint,
Redact-It Enterprise Server can be used
to intelligently review the content and remove sensitive content
and privacy information from documents. Using patent-pending
technology, Redact-It redacts individual documents on-demand,
in an automated workflow process or as a batch process for
the redaction of an entire folder. Using this comprehensive
redaction tool, eDiscovery teams can automatically redact all
instances of a phrase, names, social security numbers, phone
numbers, account numbers, monetary amounts and more. Redacted
content is actually removed in the output file, not just covered,
as is hidden document data or metadata. Redact-It creates a
PDF, TIFF or CSF rendition of the redacted file, leaving the
source file untouched.
eDiscovery can be a time-consuming and tedious task if the proper,
enabling solutions are not in place,” said Scott Whitney, vice
president of product management, Mimosa Systems. “Mimosa and
IGC have partnered to help companies expedite eDiscovery requests
through the combined functionality of NearPoint and Redact-It Enterprise
Server. By leveraging our joint solution, companies can assure that
their requested information is consistent and defensible and they
can save time and money by eliminating the need for cumbersome manual
classification and redaction practices.
