  • Patent number: 11250527
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to providing litigation management for multiple remote content systems using asynchronous bi-directional replication pipelines. In some embodiments, a method includes retrieving, at one or more inbound replicators of one or more respective bi-directional pipelines, metadata associated with documents stored in one or more content repositories. The method further includes resolving, at a governance control hub, conflicts associated with legal holds on one or more of the documents based on the metadata. The method further includes sending conflict resolution results from one or more outbound applicators of the bi-directional pipelines to the content repositories, where the content repositories enforce legal holds on the documents.
    Type: Grant
