Reining in the Cloud
The childhood rhyme "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" may have once applied to life on the playground. But as in-house counsel and litigators know, words can result in dire consequences, particularly in today's increasingly wired world. For corporations, the rising use of social media — blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and the like — represent an explosive new area of electronic data to manage and for your adversaries to mine in the event of litigation. But until now electronic discovery tools have focused almost exclusively on archiving email messages as opposed to social media. Fortunately, help has finally arrived.
Cloud Preservation … in One Sentence
Nextpoint's Cloud Preservation is an online eDiscovery service that archives and preserves content from Web sites, blogs, and social media.
The Killer Feature
The people who work at your company (your clients for those of you who serve as outside counsel) continually add to, delete from, update, and refine your corporate Web sites, blogs, Facebook fan pages, Twitter accounts, and more. Nextpoint designed Cloud Preservation to automatically crawl these online properties at predefined intervals, creating a comprehensive and searchable archive of this content, including HTML source code and images.
"We are very excited to bring this product to the marketplace," CEO Rakesh Madhava told us. "We heard from our customers there was a need for a simple archiving solution for their intellectual assets on the Web and we are pleased to provide them with the progressive technology and expertise to fill this need."
Other Notable Features
Cloud Preservation is Web-based, requiring no installation. Sign up, identify what you want preserved, and set a weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, or annual crawling schedule to begin building your archive. The search engine facilitates Boolean queries. You can add filters to your searches such as date range as well as conduct account-specific or crawl-specific searches.
Cloud Preservation supports multiple levels of data exportation, ranging from PDF files of any page to comprehensive batch exporting into popular file formats such as Concordance and Summation load files, EDRM XML, Trial Director, and more.
Nextpoint offers several other SaaS products such as Discovery Cloud and Trial Cloud, all of which integrate with Cloud Preservation for a comprehensive eDiscovery solution from preservation through trial.
