Mimosa Systems, provider of next-generation e-mail, file and SharePoint archiving solutions, has announced that Checkers Drive-In Restaurants has standardized its implementation of Mimosa NearPoint for unified e-mail, SharePoint and file archiving. The chain now relies on Mimosa for discovery and retention management to deliver proactive eDiscovery processes while eliminating the need for IT resources to fulfill discovery requests. Electronic discovery, or eDiscovery, is the collection, preparation, review and production of electronically stored information in civil litigation.
The chain chose the Mimosa NearPoint solution after facing an increasing time and resource drain in the area of eDiscovery. It was taking the company days to search and find the results of eDiscovery requests, which continued to place an increasing burden on IT resources. Checkers/Rally's initially implemented a first-generation archiving solution, but it was quickly apparent that the solution was difficult to manage, didn't perform complete archives and didn't support end-user search and restore capabilities.
"Mimosa allowed us to empower our human resources and legal teams with the ability to fulfill their own requests, freeing the IT team to do its job," said Antonio Zambrano, IT director, Checkers/Rally's. "The Mimosa solution was so powerful we implemented it for all of our archiving requirements including e-mail, file server, and SharePoint. The data classification feature is exceptionally fast for files and file management and the SharePoint archiving functionality is also instrumental for data protection and recovery."
Key features of the Mimosa NearPoint solution for Checkers/Rally's include:
- Efficient and comprehensive eDiscovery with features such as individual item-level legal holds, conversation and proximity analysis, and an intuitive search within a search while demonstrating chain of custody as archived content moves through the workflow
- Comprehensive capture of SharePoint content via Object Model preserves relationships between sites and content while delivering continuous capture via change notification
- Next-generation architecture eliminates the need for journaling or any agents on either the Exchange Server or user desktops
- Self-service search of archived data offers seamless self-service access to archived data to allow for finding of potentially "lost" or deleted messages without IT assistance
