GWAVA Announces Retain for Mobile Archiving
by GWAVA

GWAVA announces the release of Retain Unified Archiving for Mobile messaging. Retain Mobile is a key element to the GWAVA Unified Archiving Solution. With Retain Mobile, organizations can now securely archive mobile communications for Android and BlackBerry devices. This archived data can be instantly searched, retrieved, and published for eDiscovery and litigation purposes from one unified archive.
 
Retain Mobile captures all SMS/MMS and phone call logs for Android devices version 2.2 and above, as well as BBM, SMS/MMS, PIN, and phone call logs for BlackBerry devices. Retain Mobile works seamlessly within the existing Retain archiving system with all multi-platform messaging data, including email, social media, and mobile being archived into one unified database. This gives organizations the ability to search, publish and perform eDiscovery from one central location. End users and administrators search one database through the web access archive viewer to find the messages they need. Most importantly, Retain keeps messages from being deleted to maintain compliance with retention and open records laws.

Handling eDiscovery in the Context of Big Data
by Alon Israely, Sys-Con Media

Big Data - a large amount of information that comes in a variety of forms and constantly changes - has generated a significant amount of buzz in the business world, mostly around the implications for marketing. But there's little attention paid to its potential impact on risk management and legal issues. There should be. When legal compliance actions such as eDiscovery requests involve large datasets, most businesses don't have the in-house expertise to handle the task.

This is true both of companies that manage legal compliance internally and those that turn to external experts who don't specialize in eDiscovery. Discovery requests that involve truly massive datasets require special expertise and technology tools, and most in-house resources and even outside technology experts who are not specifically trained to handle eDiscovery in a Big Data context are unaware of the scale of the challenge.
