Business Intelligence Associates, Inc. (BIA) takes bold action to announce today that it is making the Legal Hold feature of its TotalDiscovery.com online eDiscovery solution completely free to all users.
“With the sufficiency of legal hold notices becoming a central point in more and more cases, such as in the recent Apple v. Samsung ruling, we decided it was time to remove any and all barriers that companies may have in implementing a truly effective legal hold process by making the TotalDiscovery.com Legal Hold feature absolutely free to all customers,â€Â said Brian Schrader, BIA President.
Now, anyone can sign up for a free account at TotalDiscovery.com, and start issuing legal hold notices in minutes to relevant custodians, such as to employees and third-parties required to preserve documents for legal reasons. TotalDiscovery.com offers full functioning legal hold features including automatic reminders, on-the-fly legal hold scope adjustment, escalations, custom memos and robust reporting. Users can also take advantage of the free TotalDiscovery.com Data Profiler™ feature, which allows users to create comprehensive early data assessment reports for use in litigation budgeting, meet and confer meetings and legal strategy planning. The two features combine seamlessly to provide users with a simple and effective way to fulfill their legal obligations and get an early jump on the eDiscovery process --all before incurring any costs.
“We're confident that when using the Legal Hold feature, our users will see how TotalDiscovery.com transforms the entire eDiscovery process into a simple, streamlined and cost-effective experience,â€Â added Schrader. Once data is preserved and custodians are on hold, the advanced features of TotalDiscovery.com enable quick and easy data gathering -- from computers to social media and cloud computing – with a few simple clicks of the mouse. Collected data can then be quickly analyzed, filtered and exported to any legal document review platform, all with no software to install or hardware to purchase.
