Introducing HoldIT (TM) v2.01 Litigation Hold (Legal Hold) & Custodian Management SaaS Solution from CaseGuard Technologies, Inc.

Arlington, VA, February 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Issuing, implementing, and supervising even one litigation hold (legal hold) is an administrative challenge; tracking multiple, often overlapping holds increases the complexity of complying with anti-spoliation legal duties. The right software solution will enable counsel to qualify custodians and track each litigation hold from issuance and custodian acknowledgment through eventual rescission of the hold order - and can automate the process of providing legal teams with acknowledgment status and reminder notices to appropriate custodians. Perhaps most importantly, sound process-solutions demonstrate a good faith effort to meet anti-spoliation duties across the range of reasonably anticipated and active matters.

• Compliant. Audit reports track notification workflow and escalate non-acknowledgment in real-time. Automates custodian qualification to enhance process soundness.

• Economical. Web-based software as a service means the customer only pays for the compliance needed. Allocate costs internally across matters or budgets.

• Easy. With no software to install or maintain, the customer can qualify custodians, issue holds, automate notifications, and track compliance from day one.
