Greater control of eDiscovery starts earlier
Connect custodian identification, legal hold, preservation, Microsoft 365 collection, and early case assessment to make better-informed decisions, reduce unnecessary downstream work, and control discovery cost.
Cloud collaboration has distributed potentially relevant information across mailboxes, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, shared repositories, and changing user identities. The information needed to understand a matter may be spread across systems and teams before formal discovery work begins.
When early decisions rely on current directory information, known repositories, or broad assumptions, uncertainty can extend preservation, collection, processing, and review. Disconnected tools and manual handoffs make it harder to maintain a clear record of why people and sources were included or how the scope changed.
Early uncertainty expands downstream scope
Current custodian lists and known repositories may not reflect historical roles, shared workspaces, former employees, or where relevant activity occurred during the period that matters.
Custodian decisions, preservation actions, collection sources, and matter information may be managed across separate tools and records, with manual handoffs between each stage.
Messages, linked files, versions, identities, activity, and repository relationships may become separated as ESI moves through the process, making evidence harder to interpret.
Broad preservation and collection can move unnecessary data into processing and review, increasing outside counsel, hosting, and attorney-review costs.
Bring more control to every matter
Understand the matter earlier
Bring available identity, activity, repository, interview, and document information together at the start of the matter.
Use that context to investigate who may be involved, which sources may matter, and where further inquiry is needed.
As new facts emerge, update the scope without losing the decisions that shaped it.
Preserve and collect with a clear record
Issue and track legal hold notices, preserve identified Microsoft 365 sources, and collect defined populations through one connected process.
Keep custodians, repositories, versions, and actions tied to the matter as scope changes.
Record preservation status, exceptions, and collection decisions so the team can see what happened and why.
Reduce avoidable downstream work
Use matter context to focus preservation, collection, and analysis on a scope supported by available information.
Test assumptions, sample included and excluded populations, and record the reasoning behind decisions before data moves downstream.
Better identification does not always produce a smaller scope. It produces a scope supported by better information.
Maintain an explainable matter record
Keep scope decisions, hold and preservation actions, collection choices, exceptions, and supporting information connected throughout the matter.
Record what changed, who made or approved the decision, and the information available at the time.
When the matter moves downstream, the receiving team can see how the population and decisions developed instead of reconstructing that history.
How Cloudficient supports your priorities
Each solution addresses a specific stage of the discovery process. Start with the immediate matter need and build toward a more connected program over time.
Bring historical identity, organizational, activity, repository, and interview information together to identify the right people and sources earlier.
Coordinate notices, custodians, acknowledgments, preservation actions, follow-up, and matter records through a controlled process.
Resolve linked files and capture the versions associated with sharing and recipient access, so preserved messages keep the documents they referred to.
Use early case assessment and intelligent first-pass review to investigate collected information, prioritize what matters, and prepare evidence for downstream review.
Connect the work before formal review begins
CaseFusion® is Cloudficient's matter-centered platform for Context-Aware eDiscovery™, bringing matter context into the decisions that shape scope before evidence enters a downstream review platform.
- Who mattered | Evaluate the people involved during the relevant period.
- Where work occurred | See the repositories and activity behind the matter.
- What to preserve or collect | Set scope on the information available.
- How evidence connects | Follow relationships across Microsoft 365.
Designed for better-informed and defensible decisions
Coordinate identification, legal hold, preservation, collection, and analysis without losing the information that connects one decision to the next.
Maintain transparent, repeatable processes and a documented history of matter decisions, actions, and outcomes.
Carry available identity, activity, repository, relationship, and document information forward as ESI moves through the process.
Work with Cloudficient specialists who understand complex Microsoft 365 information environments and legal discovery workflows.
