Smarsh, the leading provider of hosted archiving and compliance solutions for email and electronic communications, today announced that Intelligent Discovery Management (IDM), a Superior Discovery company, relies on Smarsh Web Archiving to help its clients meet their eDiscovery needs.

Smarsh Web Archiving provides IDM, which offers discovery consulting and litigation support, with the ability to capture, search, preserve and produce comprehensive Web content for its clients. The service crawls any website and captures each page and its contents in their original format, providing a forensically sound record of the site. Interactive elements, such as YouTube videos, slideshows, AJAX, JavaScript and blogs, as well as links between pages, remain active and functional.

With Smarsh Web Archiving, IDM has realized a time savings of many hours per website by automating and accelerating capture, review, and export processes. This is important to IDM, as these requests are often time-sensitive and it is critical to capture published content from a specific point in time. As a result, IDM is able to free up internal staff resources to focus on other aspects of eDiscovery and litigation support.

“What led IDM to Smarsh is the company’s expertise in capturing complex websites,” said Collin Bentley, Director of Data Acquisitions and Forensics at IDM. “Smarsh archives online communications quickly, accurately and comprehensively, which enables us to better serve our clients.”

“IDM’s clients need forensically sound records of online communications in a timely fashion,” said Stephen Marsh, CEO and founder of Smarsh. “Smarsh provides IDM with a robust solution that captures dynamic and interactive Web content and drastically cuts the time it would take IDM to archive content through other means.”
