Congrats to eDiscovery Today Educational Partner Hanzo for their quick implementation of support of Slack Preserve-In-Place for legal hold!  A portion of their press release is below, click here to see the full press release!

Hanzo’s support for Slack’s new legal hold feature brings a best-in-class ediscovery solution that is secure, easy to use, and allows enterprises to save on costs.

Hanzo, a technology pioneer in preserving, collecting, reviewing, and exporting dynamic, complex collaboration and web-based data, today announced support for preserve-in-place Slack ediscovery for organizations with Enterprise Grid.

Hanzo’s support for Slack’s legal hold allows customers to apply a hold directly from Hanzo Hold for one or more Slack users, suspending routine retention policies, and adopting a best practice for meeting preservation obligations. Once the preservation obligation no longer applies, managers can easily release the hold on the data.

The solution gives corporate legal teams options in how they manage their data and empowers them to reduce ediscovery costs by preserving data in the native application and only collecting it when needed.

As I mentioned, you’ll want to check out the full release to get the rest of the story.  And, just a reminder, Hanzo is presenting an educational webinar, Three Things You Need To Know about Slack’s New Legal Hold on Thursday, October 28, 2021, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Experts from IBM, Uber, and Slack will discuss how and when it’s advantageous to preserve Slack data in place and explore best practices to manage retention and respond effectively to discovery obligations.
