eClaris will help your firm pinpoint the scope of the e-data to be harvested. Common mediums often include computers, flash drives, Blackberries, PDA's, cell phones, backup tapes, cameras and servers.

Next, eClaris will help your firm gather, identify and then classify all structured and unstructured data. Unstructured data predominantly refers to computerized information that either lacks a specific data structure or has one that is not readily usable by a computer program. We can handle either format whether stored in fielded form in databases or annotated (semantically tagged) in documents.

Finally, eClaris will take the harvested data and place it into a secure records management system. Our records system will allow your firm to store data as well as to export it to other platforms and will allow for the data to be stored.

The duty to preserve all potentially relevant information and the ramifications of failing to do so have been well played out in recent court rulings.

eClaris will provide your firm with specific techniques to maintain the integrity of electronically stored information. These tips will include formulating an ESI Preservation Plan to help you enforce litigation holds and assess the relevant legal requirements along with any timing issues.

eClaris will educate your firm as to the risks and possible penalties associated with spoliation which, simply put, is the withholding or destroying of relevant evidence. This will allow your firm to calculate the consequences of choosing not to fulfill your client's duty to preserve electronic data.

The eClaris staff will rigorously adhere to the collection and preservation tactics agreed upon in your consultation, cautiously reviewing problem spots or areas of potential spoliation. Should any concerns occur that were not discussed, a project manager will immediately contact you.
