When it comes to eDiscovery software, there is no one-size-fits-all deployment approach. While some organizations prefer cloud-based, others may benefit from on-premise or hybrid software. Unfortunately, many eDiscovery software providers are shifting toward exclusive cloud-based models, eliminating choice. iCONECT is taking a stand by offering flexible deployment options to all customers.
As the technology landscape evolves, organizations face critical decisions about their software solutions. More and more software providers are taking their solutions to the cloud, leaving customers in a dilemma. Do they move their operations from on-premise to the cloud or find a new provider that offers greater flexibility?
The eDiscovery world is facing this exact scenario. Some eDiscovery software providers are moving away from on-premise software in favor of exclusive cloud-based models. While some businesses may benefit, this move ultimately reduces customer choice.
eDiscovery Software That Meets You Where You’re At
The best eDiscovery solution is one that fits your requirements and strategy. That’s why iCONECT allows customers to choose the deployment model that meets their exact needs. With on-premise, cloud and hybrid options, iCONECT caters to a wide variety of operational needs.
On-Premise eDiscovery Software: Full Control, Maximum Security
When data sensitivity, oversight, and strict compliance requirements are top priorities, an on-premise deployment offers the control and assurance organizations need. iCONECT’s solution supports this by enabling teams to manage their entire eDiscovery environment internally, which is ideal for highly regulated sectors such as government and legal services.
By keeping your eDiscovery infrastructure within your own data center, you maintain physical and logical control of every component: servers, storage, access protocols, and user permissions. Your IT and legal teams can manage system updates, configurations, and permissions based on your organization’s internal policies and regulatory obligations. This level of control is especially important for agencies and companies that operate under strict compliance requirements, where even minor lapses in oversight can carry significant risks.
- Scalability: On-premise systems scale in step with your internal growth. As your caseload expands, you can add servers or storage on your own terms, giving you the flexibility to plan long-term infrastructure investments.
- Accessibility: Ideal for organizations with centralized teams or strict access protocols. While remote access is fully possible, it’s governed entirely by your internal security policies, giving you control over who can log in, from where, and how.
- Cost-Efficiency: With flexible pricing options, on-premise deployment provides a stable, long-term cost structure. It’s efficient for organizations with high-volume document processing and predictable usage patterns.
- Security: You set the rules. Sensitive data remains entirely within your IT perimeter, protected by your organization’s security stack. For teams with strict audit trails, chain-of-custody requirements, or data sovereignty mandates, this control is essential.
- Integrations: iCONECT’s eDiscovery software is designed to work seamlessly with your existing environment. Custom workflows and automation can be tailored to your infrastructure.
Cloud-Based Discovery Software: Fast & Future-Ready
If you’re looking for agility and access anywhere, consider cloud-based eDiscovery software. Whether you’re supporting a remote legal team, handling sudden case surges, or looking to reduce your IT footprint, the cloud meets you with flexibility and scale.
iCONECT’s secure cloud deployment offers all the functionality of our trusted platform without the need to manage infrastructure or hardware. There’s no waiting on servers or complex installations; just a secure login and instant access to a full-featured eDiscovery environment. Built with enterprise-grade security and performance in mind, our cloud offering is trusted by law firms, corporations, and government agencies alike.
- Scalability: Quickly scale storage, compute power, and user access up or down depending on case demands. Whether you’re managing a single investigation or a massive multi-party litigation, the cloud expands to meet your needs without delay.
- Accessibility: Your team can work from anywhere; all they need is an internet connection and proper credentials. It’s ideal for distributed teams, global operations, or after-hours review work.
- Cost-Efficiency: Eliminate the overhead of managing physical servers or maintaining an internal IT team for eDiscovery. With a cloud model, costs are flexible, helping you align expenses with actual project needs.
- Security: Hosted in data centers with world-class physical and digital security controls, iCONECT’s cloud environment includes encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, and real-time monitoring. Plus, you benefit from ongoing compliance updates without lifting a finger.
- Integrations: Easily connect your cloud deployment to other legal tech tools, email platforms, or data repositories. Whether importing documents from cloud storage or integrating with case management systems, our cloud is built for interoperability.
Hybrid Discovery Software: The Best of Both Worlds
Sometimes, the right solution isn’t purely on-premise or entirely in the cloud: it’s both. iCONECT’s hybrid deployment model is designed for organizations that need the control of an on-premise system with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. Whether you’re managing sensitive data that must stay in-house or want to offload large-scale document review to the cloud, hybrid gives you the freedom to do both.
A hybrid setup allows you to strategically split workloads. Keep confidential investigations behind your firewall while leveraging the cloud to handle spikes in caseload, cross-border collaboration, or resource-intensive processing.
With iCONECT’s hybrid flexibility, you can optimize performance and control based on each project’s specific needs.
- Scalability: Scale selectively. Keep day-to-day operations in-house while tapping into the cloud only when needed. It’s elasticity on your terms.
- Accessibility: Enable internal teams to work securely on-premise, while giving remote reviewers, external counsel, or partners cloud-based access as needed, without opening up your core infrastructure.
- Cost-Efficiency: A hybrid approach helps you control costs by maximizing the value of your existing infrastructure while avoiding over-investing in capacity you only occasionally need. Use the cloud only when it adds value.
- Security: Maintain full control of sensitive or regulated data within your firewall while still benefiting from the cloud’s secure, modern infrastructure for less sensitive workloads. It’s a smart way to balance risk and flexibility.
- Integrations: Seamlessly bridge your on-premise systems with cloud-based tools and services. Whether you need to sync data or transfer case files, iCONECT ensures both environments work in harmony.
