Classification for information governance

H5 has released the H5 EDGE Classifier, the first of its electronic data governance engine (EDGE) products for the enterprise.

The H5 EDGE Classifier is an information classification application that runs on top of organizations’ information management systems to accurately cull, filter and classify e-mail and other electronic data to meet information governance goals. Building on H5’s proven core information retrieval technology, the H5 EDGE Classifier is said to enable companies to leverage their existing technology investments to render highly accurate retain-or-discard decisions and achieve significant reductions in cost and risk.

The H5 EDGE Classifier is designed to smoothly integrate with most information management systems, including enterprise search, content management, archiving and e-discovery tools and platforms. Features include comprehensive classification rules derived from H5’s library of linguistic models that are customized by information retrieval experts to meet the specific needs of each organization. Additionally, says H5, it also includes technical configurations that enable integration into existing enterprise systems, statistically valid measurement protocols that substantiate performance and detailed documentation of classification criteria that enables clients to demonstrate that they have utilized a defensible and transparent process.
