Clearwell Systems: Going Mobile
January 22, 2009
Clearwell Systems will be adding new processing and management capabilities to its updated E-Discovery Platform. It will be announced at LegalTech NY on February 2, 2009. The “Mobile Clearwell” appliance will help companies at the enterprise level deal with varied legal, regulatory and investigative matters with a single search application. The changes are targeting litigation between foreign countries where laws and statues obviously differ. An e-mail from the PR firm handling the announcement said the platform “regulates the ‘processing’ of personal data, and the ‘transport’ or ‘export’ of data outside of the EU.” Read that as “keeps track of anything anyone does to search or organize e-mail or electronic documents.” As we all know, paper trails are very important to lawyers. The E-Discovery platform and new drop-in appliance are web-based, quick to install, and changes are reportedly streamlined to ensure compliance with those pesky rules governing legal action. Therefore, “Mobile Clearwell” can go to the (paper) mountain along with Mohammad. Keep an eye out here for the official announcement next month.
