Kroll Ontrack, a provider of legal and information management technology and services, has announced the launch of Ontrack Compass, a new enterprise e-mail and file archiving solution. Ontrack Compass allows legal and IT teams to proactively prepare for and effectively respond to litigation, investigations, and regulatory requirements, saving organizations significant time and costs.

Specifically, Ontrack Compass has the capacity and power to be deployed in very large implementations —even those with more than 100,000 e-mail users. The Ontrack Compass architecture is not limited by the constraints of a relational database and can readily scale with significant increases in data volume and number of users.

Furthermore, litigation holds can be applied in a granular fashion, enabling Ontrack Compass users to easily release irrelevant data, thereby reducing the risk of retaining information that is no longer needed. Pairing this capability with the tool’s compression and de-duplication technology minimizes an organization’s overall data footprint and potentially reduces the volume of information identified for discovery, creating litigation cost savings.

In addition to the Ontrack Compass tool, organizations have access to industry-leading ESI consultants as well as a full-service Professional Services team. Ontrack Compass in conjunction with Kroll Ontrack consulting and services provides organizations with a complete information governance solution to reduce risks and manage regulatory compliance, retention policies, and litigation preparedness.
