Confluence is just one example of modern data eDiscovery teams must address. Here ProSearch discusses untangling the web of Confluence!

In his post titled (wait for it!) Untangling the Web: How Our Client Conquered Their Confluence Chaos (available here), ProSearch discusses how their client had a sprawling, unwieldy Confluence system packed with institutional knowledge, metadata, and historical versions of key documents to collect and process. While Confluence is a powerful collaboration tool, its export process left them drowning in messy, hard-to-navigate data. They needed to see which attachments belonged with which posts.  They needed clarity on revision dates for documents for collections, and just as importantly—a streamlined way to make sense of it all.  All this with a court ordered deadline.

Using their custom-built tools, ProSearch worked through the raw XML data, extracting, organizing, and transforming it into an accessible structure. The result? A fully mapped, cohesive dataset that allowed our client to access pages, attachments, and historical versions effortlessly. No more guesswork, no more scattered files—just a clear, structured delivery of their Confluence data in a format they could work with.

These are the types of scenarios for which organizations are needing custom workflows and solutions these days. Click here to find out more, including how they can provide solutions to achieve confluence for all your unique data sources! See what I did there? 😉

So, what do you think? Is your organization struggling with discovery of data in Confluence or other modern data source? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
