Guidance Software’s EnCase eDiscovery automates and expands the capabilities of EnCase Enterprise. It is a complete, end-to-end, automated eDiscovery solution that allows you to search, identify, cull, collect, and process electronically stored information (ESI) across the enterprise and then export the ESI to the attorney review platform of your choice. EnCase eDiscovery is a versatile, scalable, and ultra-efficient eDiscovery solution that streamlines the eDiscovery process to save you time and money.

• Reduce your eDiscovery costs by up to 90%
• Search and collect ESI across the enterprise from a central location from workstations, laptops, file servers, user shares, other data repositories, and removable storage media without having to take the target machines offline
• Cull at the point of collection and collect only potentially relevant documents
• Ensure a complete collection and chain-of-custody with the extensive reporting feature
• Rely upon the globally recognized best practice solution for electronic discovery and EnCase® software's unparalleled record in court

1.) Enterprise Search and Collection
EnCase eDiscovery's Enterprise Search and Collection module automates the search process, allowing you to collect only potentially relevant information in a court-validated manner. Multiple collections can occur simultaneously, and the collected ESI is stored in the EnCase Logical Evidence File (LEF) format with metadata intact.

• Search across the enterprise on workstations, laptops, file servers, user shares, other data repositories, and removable storage media
• Search on any combination of file metadata, keywords, and digital fingerprints
• The LEF is a court-validated, forensically sound container to preserve your evidence

2.) Email Processor
EnCase eDiscovery's Email Processor automates the capabilities of Enterprise Search and Collection for live messaging servers, static PSTs and NSFs, and individual MSG files.

• Perform secondary culling and deduplicate emails
• Extracted email messages can be stored in an LEF, a PST or NSF file (source dependent), or MGS files
• Process multiple static PSTs or NSFs

3.) Evidence File Processor
EnCase eDiscovery's Evidence File Processor takes collected ESI and groups it into a master data set (Master LEF) to de-duplicate and further cull the data set using the same rich set of search criteria available during collection.

4.) Review Platform Exporter
EnCase eDiscovery's Review Platform Exporter enables pushbutton load file creation for both the LexisNexis Concordance and CT/Summation attorney review platforms. No other product offers such easy load file creation.

5.) Report Generator
EnCase eDiscovery maintains a strict digital chain of custody during the discovery process to ensure a defensible process and compliance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The Report Generator uses a single database to keep the search, collection, culling, and processing information in one place. EnCase eDiscovery enables a court validated process and maintains a strict chain-of-custody to help prove document authenticity.
