History

John H. Jessen founded Daticon EED in 1987 to address the need for electronic evidence discovery after a lawyer hired him to examine a home computer. [1] Since its founding, the company has been responsible for many industry firsts in the field of electronic discovery, including forensic collection software in 1987 and an online review application in 1994.

In February 2008, Daticon EED formed a partnership with IBM to provide process design consulting and corporate litigation readiness services to IBM customers and reactive services for individual outsourced litigations. Daticon EED has also developed an eDiscovery process manager for IBM's Electronic Content Management (ECM) platform [2] on top of IBM's Filenet P8 platform.

In June 2008, EED acquired [3] Daticon LLC, a Connecticut-based provider of early case assessment, electronic discovery, consulting and archive services and changed its brand name to Daticon EED. [4]

Industry Involvement

Daticon EED is the founding sponsor of both the Electronic Document Retention and Production workgroup and the International Electronic Information Management Discovery and Disclosure workgroup of the Sedona Conference.

Launched in May 2005, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) project was created to deal with the lack of standards and guidelines in the electronic discovery market. Daticon EED participates in the following EDRM projects:

In software engineering, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that focuses on discrete services instead of a monolithic design. By consequence, it is also applied in the field of software design where services are provided to the other components by application components, through a communication protocol over a network. A service is a discrete unit of functionality that can be accessed remotely and acted upon and updated independently, such as retrieving a credit card statement online. SOA is also intended to be independent of vendors, products and technologies.

Enterprise content management (ECM) extends the concept of content management by adding a timeline for each content item and, possibly, enforcing processes for its creation, approval, and distribution. Systems using ECM generally provide a secure repository for managed items, analog or digital. They also include one methods for importing content to bring manage new items, and several presentation methods to make items available for use. Although ECM content may be protected by digital rights management (DRM), it is not required. ECM is distinguished from general content management by its cognizance of the processes and procedures of the enterprise for which it is created.

HP Information Management Software is a software from the HP Software Division, used to organize, protect, retrieve, acquire, manage, and maintain information. The HP Software Division also offers information analytics software. The amount of data that companies have to deal with has grown tremendously over the past decade, making the management of this information more difficult. The University of California at Berkeley claims the amount of information produced globally increases by 30 percent annually. An April 2010 Information Management article cited a survey in which nearly 90 percent of businesses blame poor performance on data growth. The survey concluded that for many businesses their applications and databases are growing by 50 percent or more annually, making it difficult to manage the rapid expansion of information.

A copy of the email database was subsequently purchased for $10,000 by Andrew McCallum, a computer scientist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He released this copy to researchers, providing a trove of data that has been used for studies on social networking and computer-mediated communication.
