How Clearwell and Symantec could benefit each other
1 Comment
When the news of the acquisition of Clearwell by Symantec was announced last month, it didn’t seem to make much sense at first glance. Why would an antivirus company want to suddenly purchase one of the top ediscovery solutions on the market?
While Clearwell is not the shining star of the industry it once was, perhaps Symantec could leverage Clearwell’s search technology into a desktop-level applet used by many of the enterprise security/ediscovery vendors. The antivirus market has grown from merely searching for signatures of known viruses to searching for patterns in data. Symantec’s knowledge in this arena can be complimented by an ediscovery solution, which is also similarly designed to look for patterns in data.
I don’t know how this will play out, but it’s difficult to ignore the parallels between the two industries! I’ll wait for a while longer, then it might be time to update my comparison of document review platforms.Related posts:

Here is why: “Symantec’s purchase of Clearwell Systems brings together leading vendors in enterprise information archiving, e-discovery and information governance. Companies that are interested in any of these technologies and that want to manage electronic information better for business value, risk reduction and efficiency should understand the implications of this acquisition.”
“Gartner believes that, overall, this acquisition will strengthen Symantec’s position in the e-discovery market and make it more able to help clients perform much-needed information management tasks.”
