How it Works – EMS Rapid Archive™: e-Discovery
In today’s litigious world, the ability to rapidly and thoroughly search historical email provides a competitive advantage. EMS Rapid Archive’s sub-second search capabilities provide management and counsel a sure and complete knowledge of the contents of historical email; rapidly and without the effort other systems require.
In the past, thorough e-Discovery could take months and costs could soar into the millions of dollars. EMS™ makes it easy for legal counsel to search selected mailboxes or the entire environment using any search criteria. Perform sub-second searches across headers, body, subject, file names, and over 370 attachment types.

Delegated users and IT staff can perform global sub-second searches of messages and 370 types of attachments over millions of messages. Search across headers, body, subject, file names, and attachment contents. The speed of EMS Rapid Archive’s search is unmatched in the archive industry. - Implement more effective searches using finely tuned criteria
EMS enables you to narrow searches to specific topics, individuals, and groups to avoid being overcome with unnecessary data. Search with an easy to use interface or detailed Boolean operations. - Uniquely delegate scoped reviewer search authority
Bounded search authority can be delegated to legal staff or any appropriate user to eliminate the costly delays, common in alternative archiving solutions, that occur when counsel must repeatedly request and refine search criteria for execution by the IT staff. Scoped review controls limit searchers by any criteria including sender, recipient, date range, content, or any other metadata. - Find all relevant email across all aliases with Active Directory integration
Unlike most email e-Discovery systems, EMS Rapid Archive integrates with Active Directory (AD) to find all aliases and distribution lists for search and Legal Holds. AD integration is also used to automatically set and modify retention policies, and add or transfer users and groups. - Easily manage Legal Holds
Legal Holds can be set by user or group covering all aliases and distribution lists. Holds can be forward or backwards looking and released messages are automatically deleted according to prevailing retention rules. - Change retention policies and add Legal Holds at any time
EMS’ sophisticated and flexible policy engine is the only solution that enables companies to set retention policies of any length, by user, group or server, and change them at any time to provide complete retention policy management. EMS Rapid Archive provides a complete audit trail of all activities, including permission and policy changes. - Provide tamper-proof archives
With the growing e-Discovery requirements most organizations face, proving that email searches are thorough and that documents have not been modified is increasingly becoming a challenge. EMS on-demand services act as a tamper-proof, third party custodian for email archives that provides a complete audit trail of all activities, including permission and policy changes.
