Frequently Asked Questions

t-b-s
What is Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator?
Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator is a case-based review and investigation workflow capability within Enterprise Vault. It enables legal and compliance teams to review archived data, apply tags, and manage investigation workflows. The capability organizes review work into structured cases and provides audit tracking for all reviewer actions. It is used to support legal review, internal investigations, and regulatory inquiries.
How is Discovery Accelerator different from the eDiscovery Platform?
The eDiscovery Platform focuses on search, legal hold, and data collection across sources, while Discovery Accelerator focuses on reviewing and analyzing content within a case. Discovery Accelerator operates on archived data already stored in Enterprise Vault and provides workflows for tagging, annotation, and decision-making. The two capabilities are complementary but serve different stages of the investigation process.
What types of data can be reviewed in Discovery Accelerator?
Discovery Accelerator operates on content stored in the Enterprise Vault archive, including email, attachments, and other archived data. The scope of review is determined by what has been captured and archived within the environment. It does not ingest or collect new data but works on existing archived content prepared for investigation.
How are review workflows managed in Discovery Accelerator?
Review workflows are managed through case-based structures that include review sets and assigned reviewers. Administrators define how content is grouped and distributed, and reviewers process items within assigned queues. The system tracks progress, workload, and decisions across all participants. This enables coordinated review across teams.
How does Discovery Accelerator support defensible investigations?
Discovery Accelerator maintains detailed audit logs of all reviewer actions, including tagging, annotation, and decision-making. This ensures that investigations can be documented and defended if required for legal or regulatory purposes. The structured workflow reduces inconsistencies and provides transparency into how conclusions were reached.
Is Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator deployed on-premises?
Yes. Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator operates within an on-premises Enterprise Vault deployment. This allows organizations to maintain control over sensitive investigation data and workflows. It supports environments where data residency, security, and governance requirements require internal infrastructure control.
