The Bank had detailed record management, legal and compliance requirements when it came to the long-term storage of its electronic communications. Veritas Enterprise Discovery Platform met their requirements. The project scope covered all phases, starting from data acquisition through supervision, archiving, e-Discovery and case management/legal review. The solution replaced AXS One and Autonomy in all regional hubs as well as replacing three other local compliance solutions.
The Bank was also aware that its legacy AXS-One system was archiving data into the EMC Centera storage platform, which was out of support.

A decision was taken to standardize on a new future-proof archiving and e-Discovery platform. As part of the technology selection criteria, it was important that the legacy data from AXS-One could be migrated compliantly into the new strategic platform. A number of options were reviewed internally with teams from the Infrastructure, Security, Legal and Regional Compliance business units involved. After this lengthy and rigorous process, the Bank chose the Veritas archiving and eDP platforms.
Given the importance of the legacy AXS-One data to the bank, it was essential that they found a competent supplier. Their role was to deploy the Veritas archiving and e-Discovery platform, and migrate the legacy AXS-One Journaled data into Veritas Enterprise Vault. bluesource, using Transvault migration technology, was chosen to assist with these critical activities.
bluesource initially ran a Veritas Enterprise Vault and eDiscovery Platform (eDP) proof of concept. They then went on to design, install, and configure the production environments.
bluesource delivered a managed legacy archive migration service. This involved running a pilot migration which was tested and signed off before moving into the production phase of the migration.
Different regions with various data types were targeted and any known issues were dealt with. This enabled bluesource and Transvault to provide intelligence-led options to the Bank’s project team, helping them make informed decisions
