| In today’s macroeconomic climate, with increased job losses, broken contracts and other economic hardships, studies are showing that enterprises should expect more litigation and regulation. With Coveo Enterprise Search solutions, companies can reduce the risk of litigation and assist a company’s legal operations in a number of ways, including internal investigations, early case assessment, litigation preparedness and compliance. |
Internal investigations
Legal teams are responsible for conducting internal investigations in areas such as fraud, misconduct, employee complaints, IP leakage, as well as confidentiality, contract and security breaches. Coveo Enterprise Search facilitates these investigations by providing access to content across the enterprise. For exploratory purposes, users can perform searches on any metadata, for instance to find documents related to a specific person or produced during a timeframe, and receive results in less than a second. Furthermore, using Coveo’s super-user access, legal teams can gain temporary access to any employee’s documents including emails during an investigation to find the information they need. |
Litigation Preparedness & Early Case Assessment
In litigation, time is of the essence. Sorting manually through terabytes of information is simply not possible. Organizations need to know beforehand what information is buried in the millions of stored emails as well as the other electronic files in computers and servers that could become evidence in a litigation event.
As an early case assessment tool, Coveo Enterprise Search enables you to evaluate the merit of legal cases in a matter of days and decide if you should seek mediation and settle out of court. When litigation does occur, volumes of information can be culled, searched and reviewed in a timely fashion, and faster and better informed decisions regarding cases can be made. Should a trial and an electronic discovery process be required, the ability to identify the right relevant information can help reduce the data set transferred to the reviewers, greatly reducing the costs and time spent in the evidence production process. |
Compliance
In today’s market, experts suggest that we should expect more regulation in order to promote confidence and provide greater stability. Coveo Enterprise Search helps identify which data repositories need to be archived and audited, and provides a single point of access and view of all the information contained on the corporate network. The solution ensures that the right decisions are made in the process of implementing and adhering to compliance, such as archiving and document retention policies. Furthermore, with Coveo Enterprise Search, mechanisms can be put in place to monitor and alert when compliance is breached. |
