Morae and ActiveNav Partner to Tackle Unstructured and Dark Data

Morae Global Corporation (“Morae”), the global leader in digital and business solutions for a constantly changing legal industry, and ActiveNav, a leading innovator in data discovery and information governance, today announced a strategic partnership to address the challenges of securing unstructured and dark data.

Combining their industry expertise, this global alliance is set to fortify information governance and compliance capabilities for corporate legal departments, law firms, and other professional services firms.

The partnership aims to provide clients with comprehensive, technology-enabled solutions to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly evolving data privacy regulations and compliance mandates. Central to this effort is ActiveNav’s ability to discover dark data within organizations, enabling robust data governance. An integration with iManage enables firms to discover client-matter documents that have leaked into unstructured file stores, and manage them properly by disposing, archiving or importing them into iManage.

By leveraging Morae’s extensive consulting and solutions delivery capabilities alongside ActiveNav’s cutting-edge technology and expertise in unstructured data, the partnership ensures clients benefit from a seamless experience and an efficient approach to information governance and compliance.

"Our partnership with Morae represents a pivotal advancement in our mission to help organizations achieve 'Zero Dark Data.' Together, we are equipping clients with the tools to manage their data assets more effectively, comply with stringent privacy regulations, and enhance operational efficiency. We are confident this collaboration will set new data management and governance standards," said Peter Baumann, CEO of ActiveNav.

"Unstructured and dark data is something all firms must remain in control of. We are helping our clients to ensure their client data and PII is always secured and governed properly, regardless of where it is stored. We are very impressed with ActiveNav's ability to identify PII and client-matter data at scale, enabling us to either secure content by importing into iManage, or by managing it in place. These are some of today's biggest data governance challenges," said David Malkinson, Senior Managing Director at Morae.

ActiveNav’s technology is uniquely designed for efficient data classification and management, enabling accessibility and compliance to regulatory standards. Seamlessly integrating with existing legal processes and systems, including Document Management Systems such as iManage, ActiveNav ensures efficient information management customized for each specific workflow. Continuous monitoring identifies areas of noncompliant data ensuring legal information is always securely managed, in accordance with the most stringent data privacy and security standards to provide clients with peace of mind.
