The move to the GCC opens a wealth of opportunity for the company in an expanding region. Cyferd leads the way in digital transformation bringing to life the vision of frictionless business operations and trade for both government and enterprise customers.

The long-standing relationship between Ranjit Bahia, the CEO of Cyferd, and Abdulla Al Mutaiwee, now President Cyferd Dubai, led to a partnership between them both that resulted in the opening of Cyferd LLC Dubai.

“The rate of progress and hunger for innovation in the GCC region is unparalleled and aligns with our own values as a company to constantly push the boundaries of what is possible using technology,” said Ranjit Bahia, CEO.

“Cyferd’s expansion into the GCC region is crucial to meeting the high demand seen for digital business transformation and innovation and an important catalyst for future growth opportunities,” said Abdulla Al Mutaiwee.

For Cyferd, opening an office in Dubai has highlighted the importance of the location for start-up tech companies. The Middle East is the future for tech giants, and with the support of Abdulla, the opening of Cyferd LLC Dubai is crucial for the future expansion of the company.

Hanzo significantly improves the corporate legal team’s experience managing Microsoft Teams data for ediscovery through pre-collection intelligence, allowing innovative, targeted collections and rapid actionable insights during data analysis.

Hanzo, a global provider of enterprise solutions for legal, governance, and compliance teams, announces the first pre-collection dynamic mapping technology for Microsoft Teams. Hanzo’s Dynamic Mapping technology for Slack powers Hanzo Illuminate, the industry’s first intelligent collection and culling solution for collaboration data empowering enterprise ediscovery teams with best-in-class defensibility and reduction of extraneous data collections by up to 85 percent.*

Microsoft Teams collaboration data has grown to nearly 80% market share** and is increasingly becoming a standard request during the legal ediscovery process. Hanzo’s proprietary technology automatically addresses a critical enterprise ediscovery challenge of automating analysis for huge volumes of data and pinpointing what to collect, reducing the hassle, cost, time, and risk typical of enterprise ediscovery and downstream review processes.

“Why collect everything into a data lake when it is unnecessary,” posited Hanzo VP of Product Dave Ruel. “We know from our years of experience with collaborative data that the scale and complexity of enterprises require a better way to target their collections. They need up-front intelligence to help them effectively cull it to improve all downstream workflows.” 

Dynamic Mapping offers enterprises a pre-collection preview

 

Another typical challenge enterprises face with Microsoft Teams collaboration data is needing more critical context for efficient ECA evaluation. Time and context are especially essential for enterprises when navigating vast amounts of messaging data. Hanzo’s pre-collection intelligence speeds up early case assessment by highlighting where the conversations are happening. Unlike many competitive solutions offered today, Hanzo automatically organizes messaging content into contextual threaded conversations because reviewing data in siloed streams as is standard in Microsoft Purview is complex and inefficient, especially at the scale large enterprises face.

“Hanzo’s mission is to quickly and accurately reduce the noise pointing users to the truth within their data as soon as possible,” commented Ruel. “We leverage our vast experience helping enterprises navigate the complexities and vast volumes of collaboration data, so they have the information they need to limit their risk and make better decisions regarding case strategy.”

Hanzo Illuminate offers enterprise legal teams key features that significantly improve the user experience:

  • Pre-Collection Intelligence – Provide enterprise teams with a preview of their collaboration environment before collection to target collections, efficiently respond to ediscovery requests, and conduct investigations.
  • Contextual Data Threading – Automatic contextual threading of Microsoft Teams communication data brings the entire conversation into view, delivering clarity and chronological context essential for understanding while saving mission-critical time.
  • Pre-Packaged Review-Platform-Ready Exports – Streamline processes with review-platform-ready exports. Efficiently review custodial chat data in context, including edits/deletes, metadata, message/custodial relationships, and more. Your ediscovery review team will permanently save time by not having to re-process data before reviewing.

 

To learn more about Hanzo Illuminate’s support for Microsoft Teams and how we can help your enterprise better manage ediscovery with collaboration data, contact Hanzo. Be sure to connect with us during Legalweek at Booth 2123 or schedule a meeting at hanzo.co/2023_legalweek.
