Working with Archive360 To Secure Your CARES Funding 

Archive360 is working with State and Local Governments throughout the United States to help them leverage available CARES Act funds. This is how one State CIO justified receiving funding to implement Archive360 for data archiving, search and eDiscovery:

“Our eDiscovery platform is limited in terms of licensing and resources. We are limited to only a few cases and have a growing backlog of eRecord/FOIA requests. Additionally, our resources have to perform eDiscovery in 2 places right now, which also extends the amount of time to process the requests. The teams involved are all remote, which makes coordination of this process cumbersome, so we are using this opportunity to streamline our eDiscovery process.”
