If you’ve been around the e-discovery block, you already know about Zapproved’s cloud-based Legal Hold Pro service, created to streamline the communication of legal hold notifications from a company’s legal department to employees. The product’s biggest competition has always been the inadequate pairing of Microsoft Outlook and Excel that most companies use to send and track hold notifications. Legal Hold Pro offers a defensible and reliable communication tracking system without requiring a company to deploy expensive equipment.

There are a handful of other tools that offer a similar service, but Zapproved has cornered the market. They did so well, in fact, that over the last couple of years, the company has sought to expand their product line to cover more of the e-discovery workflow handled by in-house, corporate legal departments.
