Scope of ServicesGeorge Jon will perform a comprehensive audit of the technology used in your eDiscovery environment, including (but not limited to) application and OS best practices (according to George Jon, as well as vendors). We then perform a secondary best practice assessment on component harmony, applying our 15 years of experience to see how the elements in your environment function as a unit. The resultant data allows us to design a perfect end user experience, making recommendations on components including:
∞ Server hardware∞ SQL servers∞ Virtualization hypervisor∞ Networks∞ Storage∞ Backups and disaster recovery∞ Business continuity∞ Security
Detailed ReportingOnce the assessment is complete, we will deliver a comprehensive analysis of our findings with detailed reporting and expert recommendations for the entire environment. In many cases, George Jon’s Core Kits are the easy and affordable answer for drastically improving currently underperforming, out-of-warranty, or expensive and costly to maintain infrastructure. We are experts in seamlessly migrating applications and data between locations, whether in the same room or across the world, with little impact on the end user, along with secure, fully redundant backup systems.
BENEFITS
Identifies and documents issues affecting the production environment
Determines hardware/software compatibility issues based upon GJ best practices
Sets goals and a roadmap for future improvements, growth and management
Recommends disaster recovery and backup procedures to ensure data security and fidelity
Lays the groundwork for a turnkey, performant environment to be implemented by GJ
The Core Assessment is an in-depth study of your current eDiscovery infrastructure that identifies shortcomings and establishes a roadmap for achieving optimal performance. We take the time to learn about your business, goals, growth projections, workflow, budgets, and pain points. These needs are then meshed with the architecture and configurations of your environment, resulting in a plan that ensures the infrastructure, applications, and correlative elements are all working in harmony.

BuildoutWe will physically build out your network and properly install all components; or, if you’re
building the system using internal IT staff, we’ll deliver best practice documentation.
TestingWe’ll thoroughly test the new network,
ensuring that all components are working in harmony and at peak efficiency. Best practice
benchmarks will be applied for baseline metrics.
Project Plan & BudgetGeorge Jon will deliver a detailed Project
Plan and Budget for building/optimizing your eDiscovery network, including hardware/
software components, installation, storage, backups, security and testing.
ProcurementGeorge Jon will specify, order and deliver
every hardware/software component for your project. We leverage our relationships with
industry-leading vendors to bring you the best technologies available at favorable prices.
Core Implementation
The Road to eDiscovery Perfection
Security & BackupsOur comprehensive knowledge of eDiscovery workflow allows us to design and implement HA/DR systems that protect you from costly downtime and data loss. Every component is scalable and fully redundant to ensure fidelity.
Data MigrationOur technicians will have your data imported
and functioning in a short timeframe, a significant benefit for customers who are actively using the live system and require
ongoing functionality.
CommunicationsThroughout the project, the client will receive
daily emails about milestones, roadblocks, and status changes. George Jon’s internal,
enterprise-level ticketing system allows us to track and document all project progress under
one dedicated ticket for easy reference.
Documentation & TrainingAt the completion of every Implementation,
George Jon creates and provides comprehensive documentation for the client.
Reports include deployment information, configurations, and known issues. Professional
project training is available as requested.

George Jon Core Management services provide comprehensive problem solving and protective oversight for live eDiscovery environments, every hour of every day. Employing powerful, automated tools, a vast database of known issues, and industry leading technicians, George Jon eliminates costly errors and potential threats before they ever affect system performance. We perpetually query a wide range of client networks, identifying and fixing issues behind the scenes while ensuring a seamless user experience.
The key is a consistent, replicable baseline network configuration we deploy for eDiscovery clients around the globe, ensuring that hardware, software, backup and storage systems are perpetually running at peak efficiency. This symbiotic environment allows for system-wide quality assurance testing, enabling us to use the knowledge gained from one client to instantly benefit our entire roster.
The George Jon support team maintains an internal database of known issues related to scaling, utilization, security, and other relevant data network challenges discovered over 10 years of building and supporting complex systems. This knowledge base is applied to every client network: when we discover an issue with one system, we fix it, log it into our system-wide database, and thus proactively safeguard every client from the issue. This “spider web” of oversight represents enormous savings for clients, as the costs for equivalent manpower, research, and internal monitoring would be prohibitive.
BENEFITS
Comprehensive database of known issues protects all clients using the GJ network
Eliminates issues before they ever affect systems, end users or profitability
24/7 emergency support for system failures, security issues and updates
Rapidly deployed monitoring software yields reliable data within hours
Web-based dashboard for internal IT staff enables monitoring and alerts
