Executive Summary
In today’s marketplace, with data repositories across the enterprise growing
at exponential rates, internal knowledge and relevant information is becoming
increasingly difficult to find and retrieve when it is needed. With Enterprise
Discovery software, the company’s information silos are indexed in an ‘always
current’, centralized and scalable manner to provide a comprehensive view of
corporate operations, intellectual property and relational capital. By allowing
for such prompt access, management is better informed to make decisions,
retain and use critical knowledge, as well as mitigate the risk and cost of
litigation. This paper presents the various areas of business that benefit from
Enterprise Discovery software, including strategic and operational planning,
information security, human resources management, litigation preparedness
and compliance. Furthermore, it provides detailed guidance on how to select
the right Enterprise Discovery solution for your organization.
