• Comprehensive on-premise eDiscovery platform — The Veritas eDiscovery Platform consolidates data collection, processing, indexing, search, and analysis into a single, securely hosted environment. Its on-premise deployment ensures data remains within your network perimeter, supporting strong governance, audit trails, and faster response times for legal holds, data culling, and early case assessment. Integrated workflows streamline review and production, while role-based access and permission controls help maintain strict compliance with regulatory standards across your institution.
• Subscription Conversion license for on-premise deployment — This license model provides a practical path for academic institutions to standardize licensing while preserving the flexibility to convert existing subscriptions to a perpetual or term-based on-premise arrangement as your needs evolve. With a conversion license, your IT and legal teams can plan upgrades, maintain continuity, and optimize total cost of ownership without disrupting ongoing eDiscovery operations.
• 1 TB processing capacity — The license supports processing up to 1 TB of data, enabling large-scale investigations, legal holds, and regulatory requests. This capacity covers email, documents, databases, and other sources, with scalable processing pipelines that can handle growth, retention policies, and multi-source ingestion while preserving data integrity and chain of custody. It supports fast indexing, keyword search, and advanced analytics to shorten time-to-insight.
• Five-year license for academic ALP — The Veritas Academic Licensing Program offers favorable terms for educational institutions, with a five-year license term designed to align with academic calendars and grant cycles. This arrangement delivers predictable budgeting, reduced total cost of ownership, and access to essential features and updates during the license window. ALP pricing typically reflects the needs of research libraries, law schools, and government-affiliated universities, enabling wider access to leading eDiscovery technology.
• Essential Support included — The package includes Essential Support, delivering professional assistance, access to Veritas knowledge bases, software updates and upgrades within the license term, and guidance from technical experts to resolve critical issues promptly.

Below is a general guideline to help institutions prepare for a successful implementation. Note that exact steps may vary based on your environment and the version of the platform you deploy.

• Install platform components — Deploy the eDiscovery Platform core services, indexing engines, and data connectors. Configure authentication, user management, and integration with existing identity providers (e.g., Active Directory).
• Apply license and enable support — Import the Subscription Conversion license, activate Essential Support access, and verify licensing status within the admin console to ensure ongoing compliance and update eligibility.
• Configure data sources and governance — Establish data sources (email, file shares, LMS, collaboration tools), set up legal holds and preservation policies, define case namespaces, and configure security roles, audit logs, and access controls for sensitive material.
• Run initial processing and validation — Start the 1 TB processing queue, perform data normalization, indexing, and test searches to validate results, and validate export workflows for production requests.
