According to the Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery Software, “Full-spectrum EDRM coverage is now a requirement, not an option, for a vendor to be considered a Leader.” In addition, “A presence in the enterprise information archiving (EIA) market, as evidenced by inclusion in "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving," and functionality known in the market as machine-assisted review or predictive coding, were also factors that we considered.”

The report also states, “E-discovery has proved to be a huge motivation for companies to rethink their information management policies. The problem of determining what is relevant from a mass of information will not be solved quickly,” but Gartner identifies a “clear business driver (e-discovery) and an undeniable return on investment (deleting data that is no longer required for legal or business purposes can save millions of dollars in storage costs)” as factors that should help organizations move down this path.

“As organizations wrestle with the rising tide of data and corresponding legal expense, they are increasingly approaching critical business needs like classification, preservation and discovery not as separate tasks but as key elements of a unified information governance strategy," said Brian Dye, vice president, Information Intelligence Group, Symantec Corp. “We believe our position as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrants for both archiving and eDiscovery confirms Symantec’s vision, and the integration we have delivered helps our customers intelligently conquer the challenge of information governance with lower risk and cost throughout the process.”
