Case Study: Large Financial Group strengthens information governance with ZL Technologies

A financial services company was able to mitigate legal and regulatory risks by leveraging ZL UA to develop comprehensive, enterprise-wide information governance strategy

Large Financial Group, a US-based financial services company with about 4,000 employees, needed a better way to manage compliance, records, and eDiscovery across email and other unstructured data. After an internal audit exposed legal and regulatory risks, the company found its legacy EMC SourceOne environment too limited for flexible compliance review, defensible deletion, legal hold, and early case assessment. It turned to ZL Technologies and its ZL UA platform, including Compliance Manager, Records Manager, and Discovery Manager.

ZL Technologies implemented a unified information governance approach that centralized data in one repository, enabled custom compliance rules and post-review monitoring, and streamlined legal hold, retention, and eDiscovery workflows. The result was improved defensibility, reduced legal review costs through better early case assessment, stronger audit trails, and more efficient records management with deduplication and flexible retention policies. ZL Technologies helped Large Financial Group replace manual, siloed processes with a scalable enterprise governance strategy.
