X1 launches SaaS solution for social media and web evidence collection & analysis

X1, a provider of distributed data discovery and compliance software, has announced the availability of its flagship X1 Social Discovery platform as software-as-a-service (SaaS) for social media and web content discovery. Global enterprises, federal, state and local governments, law firms and service providers can now use the social media and web collection solution on a per-month basis without needing to install or manage any hardware or software.

X1 Social Discovery enables users to collect and search from social media platforms and web content in a legally defensible manner while preserving chain of custody, thereby supporting authentication in a court of law.

The application provides users the ability to search, review, and produce data all within the X1 Social Discovery application, or to export to Relativity and other review platforms.

Legal teams can now dive into data and isolate critical information and content, offering them a unique ability to quickly and comprehensively review online material, providing access to critical, otherwise ephemeral evidence.

"Legal teams want access to the social media evidence they need, as quickly as possible, collected in a forensically sound way that fully supports authentication in court," said Craig Carpenter, CEO of X1. "Social Discovery-as-a-Service means legal teams can use the best technology available on a monthly basis, without the need for hardware or IT involvement. It's a terrific choice for those who need forensically sound social media and web content discovery quickly and cost-effectively as a hosted service."
