MatterSpace^® ELM Standard Offerings

MatterSpace ELM Standard Enterprise and Hosted Editions provide companies, law firms, and solution providers with a product and the process framework, Evidence Lifecycle Management (ELM), that enforces potential evidence identification and preservation through leveraging data retention policies and custodian communications, while actually identifying, preserving, collecting, culling, searching, analyzing, and producing relevant structured and unstructured ESI and paper for discovery. MatterSpace ELM facilitates ongoing cost and risk analysis to make "Try vs. Settle" decisions on each case. Matterspace ELM also provides predictive custodian-based pricing on a per matter or an annual basis — allowing corporations and law firms to quantify eDiscovery costs upfront, thereby facilitating MatterSpace ELM usage on all size cases with 5-10x cost savings.
