Onna Delivers Defensible eDiscovery for Zoom with New Connector Enhancements

NEW YORK and BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Onna, the world's first Knowledge Integration Platform, today announced key enhancements to its Zoom connector to deliver a more complete and defensible eDiscovery and information governance solution for Zoom. Customers can now collect, search, assess, and export data from Zoom Chat alongside Zoom Meetings and other third-party applications, to better support eDiscovery and investigation needs in today's remote working environment. 

Onna's connectors enable granular, API-based integrations with the most popular collaboration and productivity tools, extracting, then processing and indexing all available data and metadata. This allows organizations to create a full, contextualized and searchable repository of their corporate knowledge.

"It's no secret that Zoom has massively influenced the creation of our new world of remote and hybrid working, giving us a forum to connect and collaborate at a distance," said Salim Elkhou, founder and CEO at Onna. "But as more conversations and chats happen on Zoom, the application has turned into a system of record, storing valuable corporate knowledge that needs to be easily discoverable for litigation and investigations, just like email. Legal and IT teams are under new pressure to evolve their information governance strategies accordingly, and this is why Onna is far better equipped for today's workplace apps than traditional eDiscovery and data collection tools."

While Onna's Zoom connector has always efficiently and defensibly collected Zoom Meetings data, including meeting details, audio and video recordings and transcripts, and in-meeting chat, the connector has been enhanced to additionally collect chat messages outside of Zoom Meetings, including one-to-one, group, and channel messages. This includes not only the instant messages themselves, but also any files, images, or emoji shared within Zoom Chat.

Onna's Zoom connector captures this data from all custodians even if they are inactive participants within a channel or group.

Though Zoom provides some native data retention and search capabilities, Onna delivers the same granular data collection, search, assessment, and export capabilities across not only Zoom, but also numerous other third-party applications like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google Workspace all at once, from one powerful yet simple-to-use self-service platform.

Onna stores all Zoom data in its Knowledge Integration Platform to mitigate accidental or malicious data loss from the primary source and to ensure always-on access to data with an independent, search-ready archive. Built for the cloud, the platform and its connectors can be set up quickly and easily, delivering rapid time to value compared to more traditional and complex archiving tools.

"There shouldn't be a reliance on IT to fulfill discovery requests, and self-service is the key to helping teams become more proactive," Elkhou continued. "Onna provides a single, intuitive platform to simplify data collection from Zoom and many of the other applications organizations use, giving users the autonomy to drive truly defensible eDiscovery."
