Zapproved Inc. has ushered in a new era in e-discovery, and launched the new Z-Discovery Platform, a cloud-based software suite to help companies preserve and collect large amounts of data that are relevant to a case.

The new platform arrives as Oregon-based Zapproved recently received a $15 million round of funding from partner K1 Investment Management which is earmarked for major business development milestones including the new e-discovery platform.

The suite also aims to make e-discovery easily navigable. Zapproved's CEO Monical Enand said that the traditional approach to e-discovery is “unsustainable” especially in an age where corporations are facing growing amounts of data that “sit in disparate places.”
