PSS Systems Launches EMC Solution Sets for Atlas at LegalTech New York

NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- PSS Systems today announced Atlas LCC solution sets that integrate EMC Documentum Content Server software. Atlas products provide highly-tuned workflow and process management solutions for the day-to-day activities of litigation and compliance executives while Documentum Content Server governs the EMC Documentum content repository and enables a rich set of content management services for the control of content and processes. The solutions will be unveiled at the Legal Tech show (Feb 5-7) and will demonstrate Atlas LCC's best-in-class legal holds workflow, the federation and enforcement of legal holds and evidence collection from within Atlas LCC across repositories.

These Atlas LCC solution sets greatly reduce the level of effort and eliminate the manual intervention required to institute holds on data and to collect and manage large volumes of evidence. The solution components include:

-- Atlas LCC with the Documentum content repository for collected evidence in the e-discovery workflow

-- Easy legal hold creation and automatic communication to Documentum from within the attorney and paralegal interface within Atlas LCC

-- Developing collection plans and automatically collecting via the Atlas LCC attorney and paralegal user interface from Documentum

PSS Systems intends to extend Atlas LCC and Atlas ERM support for other EMC products including EMC Centera(R) networked storage system and EMC EmailXtender(R) software.

"EMC is the market leader for content management; it's natural to offer customers the ability to leverage an EMC content management solution in concert with efficiently managing the e-discovery workflows of the litigation department," said Deidre Paknad, President and CEO of PSS Systems. "Integrating Atlas LCC with EMC Documentum is strategic to our business and it provides our customers with closed loop enterprise solutions for legal holds and retention."

"Integrating our legal holds process with the systems and archives that have data subject to legal holds is very important to us," said Cathy Muir, senior corporate counsel at Sprint. "The ability to effectively track our process and to systematically enforce holds will reduce both costs and risks."

"PSS Systems is an innovator in automating and enabling good systematic legal holds process and the integration of Atlas LCC and Documentum provides our mutual customers with a high level of support for their e-discovery and information management initiatives," said EMC's Andrew M. Cohen, Esq., Vice President, Compliance Solutions, Associate General Counsel. "The combination of Atlas LCC and EMC Documentum Content Server enables the efficient management of high volumes of information and associated e-discovery risks."

The solution sets are being unveiled at Legal Tech in booth 2604.
