Clearwell Clicks with Nikon for eDiscovery
April 25, 2012
Nikon, a leading Japanese optical instruments maker, has presumably made its legal team very happy. Symantec announces, “Nikon Corporation Takes Control of eDiscovery Process with Symantec’s Clearwell eDiscovery Platform.” The press release explains:
“The product provides the flexibility necessary for cross-border eDiscovery cases typically faced by Japanese customers, where litigation often demands multi-jurisdictional support and requires data to be processed in Japan and other countries such as the United States. For instance, Symantec’s Clearwell eDiscovery Platform can be deployed on a hosted basis or onsite, which allows eDiscovery to be conducted in Japan without having to send data to the U.S. for processing. This enables customers like Nikon to maintain control over potentially sensitive data and avail themselves of business hour support in-country.”
Strong benefits, indeed. The need for eDiscovery strategies are escalating around the world, and it is important that any company that does business internationally develop a robust plan. Immediately.
Founded back in 1982 and headquartered in Mountain View, CA, Symantec now operates in over 50 countries and employs more than 18,500 souls. The company provides organizations large and small with security, storage, and systems management solutions. Naturally, airtight security is a primary focus, but ease of use is also important to the software giant.
Nikon is not just about quality cameras. The company was founded almost a century ago, in 1917. Perhaps its stated commitment to integrity, along with an enthusiasm for the study of light, have allowed the company to prosper. Their products have become essential to customers in many fields.
