Resources Office 365 Advanced Compliance Description: Office 365 Advanced Compliance (formerly known as Advanced eDiscovery) integrates machine learning, predictive coding and text analytics capabilities, to reduce the costs and challenges that come along with sorting through large quantities of data for eDiscovery purposes. In today’s data environment, the eDiscovery process for any given case could involve sorting through millions of emails, text messages, instant messages and documents to find the small number of files that are most relevant. Office 365 Advanced Compliance reduces the volume of data by eliminating duplicate files, reconstructing email threads and identifying key themes and data relationships. Finally, it enables users to train the system to intelligently explore and analyze large, unstructured data sets and quickly zero in on what is relevant. Advanced Compliance also includes Customer Lockbox (which used to be its own standalone offering until it was rolled into Advanced Compliance in March of 2017) and Advanced Data Governance.
