PSS Systems: Atlas Compliance Automation Connector

My colleague Heather Schultz and I recently enjoyed a telephone briefing with Rani Hublou, vice president of marketing for PSS Systems (www.pss-systems.com), and Laurie Gibson, a public relations consultant with Kickstart Consulting.

They  discussed with us the recent partnership between IBM (www.ibm.com) and PSS Systems that was created to develop the Atlas Compliance Automation connector for IBM's eDiscovery Manager.

According to Hublou, once an organization's attorneys establish a legal hold, alerts are sent to all relevant parties, including legal, IT, and business users. The alerts are key to making sure employees properly save or destroy documents during the data purging cycle.

The software also provides an automated write-blocker that prevents any data that has been put on hold from being accidentally destroyed.
