In the age of electronics, backup tapes have become a necessity. Backup tapes allow you to electronically record daily activity done within a business. eClaris’ Backup Tape Extraction Services can provide a safer and quicker method of locating electronically stored information (“ESI”). According to an EMC Online article “most organizations are only just waking up to the fact that among the deluge of day-to-day emails, are some that constitute important business records. These emails need to be recorded and retained as such.” This is why backup tapes have become such a necessity in day to day business activity. eClaris is now offering our Backup Tape Extraction Services. With this service, reviewing the information of backup tapes has never been easier. A few of the features are: Extract and review files and emails from tape without the use of the backup software.  Full text and metadata indexing of unstructured files and email.

Dynamic de-duplication query capability returns only unique files when searching. This service allows for an easy, hassle-free way to retrieve vital data. With the majority of information being transmitted electronically, Backup Tape Extraction Services have become a necessity in the modern business world. The Backup Tape Extraction Services that eClaris has to offer is the solution to the problems that many companies now face.

In the age of electronic discovery, being ahead of the game is always key. Here at eClaris, we are offering just that with our Electronic Discovery Appliance. This Appliance gives the client the ability to process data in-house, from a few kilobytes of information to thousands of gigabytes. According to an article on Yahoo News, “new survey findings indicating that while organizations cite information as their highest business priority in 2009, less than half of business decision-makers have a high confidence level in the quality and accessibility of information within their organizations.” This is why our Appliance is such a valuable tool for businesses. A few of the features that the In-House Electronic Discovery Appliance has to offer are: native review of information, processing up to 50GB per hour, foreign language support, flexible search and filtering options, easy drag-and-drop file processing and so much more.

Now, you will be able to do them all from inside the comfort of your own office. The eClaris team will be there to offer support and training as needed.

Lawyers are now on notice that inadequate and “haphazard” keyword searches for relevant electronic stored information are no longer acceptable, write Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison litigation partners H. Christopher Boehning and Daniel J. Toal in this week’s New York Law Journal, “Wake-Up Call on Slipshod Search Terms,” http://www.law.com/jsp/legaltechnology/pubArticleLT.jsp?id=1202430262330.  In William A. Gross Constr. Assocs. Inc. v. American Mfrs. Mut. Ins. Co., U.S. Magistrate Andrew J. Peck of the Southern District of New York “appealed for keyword formulations based on careful thought, quality control, testing and cooperation.” That case involved a situation in which one party’s search terms were too narrow while the other’s terms were too broad. Both parties failed to compromise. As a result, Judge Peck was forced to design a methodology “without sufficient input from the parties or the relevant custodian.” He was not pleased with what he acknowledged was a less than perfect result.  So what does Judge Peck consider an adequate keyword methodology? He gives four requirements. First and foremost, opposing counsel must cooperate. Second, lawyers must carefully design keywords. Third, the custodian of the ESI should participate in the keyword selection process. Finally, the technique should be validated or pass through a quality control process to ensure it is not overinclusive, underinclusive or allow privileged information to be disclosed.   Peck concludes, “It is time that the Bar --- even those lawyers who did not come of age in the computer era – understand the importance of properly crafted electronic searches.”

eClaris was selected as one of 100 new companies to watch in the May 2009 issue of KM World.  This designation further validates eClaris' commitment to enhancing the eDiscovery process to make it more intuitive, more streamlined, quicker and cost-efficient without sacrificing quality and security.  To do so eClaris offers an on-demand online portal and eClaris CPR, an in-house data processing appliance.  Both allow eClaris to provide automated, accurate and scalable data for processing and online review.  KM World Publisher Andy Moore said it best, "It's not about buying a technology; it's about creating value for your organization.  These people can help."

eClaris Implements RocketStream™ Software Suite to Support Comprehensive eDiscovery Products and Services Los Angeles and Mountain View, Calif. — July 24, 2008 — RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), and a leading provider of digital content delivery acceleration, today announced that eClaris, LLC has selected RocketStream’s technology for its data transfer processes and offerings. With the RocketStream™ file transfer acceleration suite, eClaris will provide ultra-fast transfer capabilities to help its clients classify, process and review™ their electronically stored data. "At a time when IT departments face ever-growing challenges in managing increased digital content, RocketStream helps its users satisfy regulatory and corporate governance mandates by offering superior performance and scalability with its data transfer acceleration technology,” says Jay Elliot, president of RocketStream. “RocketStream’s file transfer solutions are particularly well suited for the eDiscovery market, which values speed and is constantly growing." According to the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey Report, the eDiscovery market growth is currently projected to reach $3.1 billion in 2008 and increase to $4.1 billion by 2009. eClaris was a contributor to this independent and widely respected survey, which examines responses from over 115 organizations, including Fortune 1000 corporations and law firms who are on the cutting edge of eDiscovery industry standards and strategies. The Need for Speed "Our customers look for compelling technology to help them quickly identify, process, review and analyze digital data. RocketStream complements our offering by providing accelerated file transfer speeds of up to 200 times faster than traditional FTP (file transfer protocol),” said Jacques Nack Ngue, founder and managing partner, at Los Angeles-based eClaris. “As consultants, our team can process terabytes of client information on any given week and it is crucial that the availability of this data gets transferred and exchanged in a secure, reliable, and rapid manner. Together with RocketStream’s innovative solutions our services are well-positioned to keep up with our clients’ expanding data needs." eClaris was previously experiencing extremely slow file transfer and latency issues with its data transfer rates. Since implementing RocketStream, the eClaris’ data transfer speeds have improved dramatically. For example, a 20 GB file sent over a DS3 connection with 117-ms latency from Los Angeles to New York used to take eClaris about 20 hours with FTP. Using RocketStream’s software, the approximate time elapsed is now only a mere one hour. "Companies are collecting and storing ever-increasing amounts of IT event data to proactively meet compliance requirements, and this large volume of data must be efficiently collected and transported in the eDiscovery process,” said William Chen, vice president of enterprise sales at RocketStream. “We are excited about this latest partnership with eClaris because it increases our reach into the substantial eDiscovery market. In addition, this partnership further validates our commitment to providing file transfer acceleration solutions that use a secure and reliable approach to overcome the harmful effects of network latency on IP data throughput. We look forward to building our relationship with eClaris and helping its customers speed up the eDiscovery process."
