Guidance Software has announced that Verizon has selected to use Guidance Software’s EnCase eDiscovery (ESI) on a Pay-Per-Use basis.

Guidance Software’s Pay-Per-Use program allows customers to pay for EnCase eDiscovery through operating budgets on a per-case, per-custodian basis, and at a fraction of what it would cost to outsource the process. It offers organizations the option of paying for only what they use, with charges tied to the amount of data searched, collected, processed, and output into load files.

ESI performs automated search, collection, and preservation of ESI residing in unstructured and semi-structured data stores such as: desktops, laptops, file servers, e-mail servers, content management systems, and removable storage media, all without any business disruption. Additionally, extensive processing capabilities enable post-collection culling and deduplication of data, as well as load file creation for the most popular attorney review platforms, allowing customers to drastically cut processing costs.
