Summary
Beyond the Spreadsheet: Legal Hold Made Easy and Defensible With OpenText
Join us for an engaging session focused on OpenText Legal Hold, our simple yet powerful cloud-based offering that helps centralize and automate the legal hold management process and workflows. This standalone product is a key feature of our composable and intelligent Legal 2.0 platform and value-added services capabilities.
Led by industry experts, John Pilznienski and Sara Fry, this interactive session will address the key drivers and pain points customers face to meet legal hold obligations. They will spotlight technology benefits such as automating and centralizing processes, saving time, and reducing risk due to error-prone manual workflows. Flexible, easy-to-perform integrations with IT and HR systems, Microsoft 365, and other market leading legal products will also be explored. Concluding the showcase, we will provide a demonstration of Open Text Legal Hold featuring both core functionality and the introduction of new features like:
- Legal hold history: Our advanced tracking mechanism reveals the most complete and accurate audit trail of legal hold activities including timestamps and user actions.
- Silent legal holds: Execute legal hold activities without informing custodians directly from our intuitive interface and verify compliance through new tracking features including creator details, status, versions, and timestamps.
