Master Repository

The Master Repository within the Daegis eDiscovery Platform allows custodian data to be processed and indexed one time, and stored in a single-instance for reuse in multiple matters. This highly efficient approach eliminates redundant storage and enables rapid new case creation when the same custodians are involved in future litigation.

Aside from the substantial cost savings associated with this approach, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, state laws, and judicial opinions make it clear that a failure to properly preserve electronically stored information (ESI) will result in sanctions. As volumes of electronic data continue to balloon, the risk of running afoul of your data preservation obligation increases. Organizations often struggle with what to save and what to dispose—and how to do both efficiently.

Byte for byte, the most valuable information created during the eDiscovery process is the attorney work product produced during the review phase. The designations, redactions, and notes that are created by attorney reviewers represent critical intelligence that has value beyond the current matter. Typically this information is not preserved in a useable format, which means that if the same documents appear in subsequent matters, they must be reviewed again – a waste of time and money.

Daegis takes a different approach. The Master Repository maintains a bi-lateral connection with the document review environment. This preserves attorney work product such as privilege and relevancy determinations or other production history in a single master repository, which means you don’t have to pay to review the same documents when future matters arise. In addition, Daegis consultants provide expert support with regard to preservation strategies, data maps, and litigation readiness. Clients retain valuable information and discard unnecessary data, saving money on storage costs while mitigating legal risk.
