Symantec Corp. announced an intelligent information governance solution that allows organisations to bridge the gap between business, legal and IT, reduce their risks and costs, and empower employees to work freely in a connected world. In order to enable organisations to better protect their information, establish retention policies and streamline their eDiscovery process, Symantec announced its plans for increased integration between its leading storage and eDiscovery offerings.

Additionally, Symantec announced that it has acquired LiveOffice, a privately-held cloud-based archiving leader, for a purchase price of approximately $115 million. The acquisition will extend Symantec’s intelligent information governance offering to the cloud, providing customers choice between on-premise, cloud or hybrid delivery of Symantec solutions.
