Your Direct Line from Cloud to Case

Logikcull integrates natively with the most common cloud platforms where business evidence lives today: Slack, Microsoft 365 (including Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams), Google Workspace (via Google Vault), Box, and Dropbox. Each integration allows legal teams to connect directly to the source, select specific custodians and date ranges, and collect targeted data sets without involving IT or requesting manual exports. For teams with additional data sources, including Salesforce, Zoom, ChatGPT, and Atlassian, Logikcull's integration with Onna extends coverage to 29+ platforms.

Cloud-based eDiscovery collection refers to gathering electronically stored information (ESI) directly from cloud platforms, such as email servers, collaboration tools, and file storage systems, rather than collecting from local hard drives or physical media. As organizations have migrated to cloud-first environments, the majority of business communication and documentation now lives in platforms like Microsoft 365, Slack, and Google Workspace rather than on local devices. Defensible eDiscovery requires collecting this cloud data in a way that preserves metadata, maintains chain of custody, and documents the collection scope. All of which Logikcull's native integrations are designed to do without reliance on IT or third-party vendors.

No. Logikcull's integrations are designed for self-service legal collection. Legal teams connect to cloud platforms directly from within Logikcull using point-and-click controls, with no IT ticketing, no manual export requests, and no vendor coordination. Legal teams can specify the custodians, date ranges, and data types to collect, and Logikcull handles the rest. This eliminates the delays, miscommunications, and chain-of-custody risks that come with routing collection requests through IT, and gives legal teams full control over what is collected, when, and from whom.

Defensibility in cloud collection depends on preserving 100% of metadata, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody, and documenting exactly what was collected and when. Logikcull's integrations collect data at the source, not via manual downloads that can introduce metadata gaps, and automatically index all metadata including timestamps, sender/recipient information, file properties, and access history. Every collection is logged with custodian scope, date range, data source, and collection timestamp. This creates a complete, auditable record of the collection that can be produced if the process is ever challenged in court.

Yes. Logikcull's integrations support in-place preservation, freezing data at its source in Google Vault, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Box without moving or copying it to a separate repository. This approach is defensible, cost-effective, and minimally disruptive to business operations. Legal teams can trigger preservation directly from Logikcull Hold at the same time they issue a legal hold notice, ensuring that the notification to custodians and the actual data preservation happen simultaneously from a single interface, closing the gap between instruction to preserve and actual preservation that creates spoliation risk in manual workflows.

Preservation means protecting data from alteration or deletion, typically by freezing it in place at its source. It happens immediately when litigation is anticipated and is required to prevent spoliation. Collection is the subsequent step of actually gathering that preserved data and moving it into a review platform. The two are related but distinct: you can preserve data weeks or months before collecting it for review. Logikcull handles both through its integrations, so legal teams can issue a hold and trigger in-place preservation via Google Vault, Microsoft 365, Slack, or Box, then return to collect the data into Logikcull when the matter moves into active review. Both steps are documented with full audit trails.

Business communication has shifted dramatically away from email toward collaboration platforms. Slack, Microsoft Teams, and similar tools now host many of the most candid, consequential conversations in an organization, discussions that in prior decades would have appeared in email and been straightforwardly discoverable. Courts and regulators have made clear that collaboration platform data is subject to the same discovery obligations as email. Legal teams that limit their collections to email risk missing critical evidence and face sanctions if relevant Slack or Teams messages are later found to have been overlooked. As one Logikcull attorney noted: "I think you're really doing a disservice to your clients if you're limiting yourself to emails. That's where claims are won and lost: on the communication record."

Dark data refers to information embedded in files that standard export tools miss or cannot process, including images embedded in email bodies, scanned attachments, handwritten notes in PDFs, and rich media files. Microsoft Purview exports, for example, can fail to capture this content, leaving gaps in the evidence picture. Logikcull's Microsoft 365 integration is specifically designed to capture and index dark data that Purview misses: embedded images are OCR'd, rich media is processed, and every file type is fully extracted. The result is a forensically complete collection, not just the text-selectable content, but the full content of every file in the data set.

Metadata, the information about a document rather than its content, is often as legally significant as the document itself. Send times, modification history, access logs, and recipient information can establish timelines, knowledge, and intent. Logikcull's integrations preserve 100% of available metadata from each source platform during collection: email headers, thread relationships, file creation and modification timestamps, custodian attribution, folder structure, and platform-specific properties. All metadata is indexed and searchable within Logikcull, filterable during review, and exportable in load files for production, ensuring nothing is lost between collection and court.

For data sources beyond Logikcull's native integrations, Logikcull connects directly with Onna, a dedicated data collection and management platform that supports 29+ workplace applications including Salesforce, Zoom, ChatGPT, Atlassian (Jira and Confluence), Teams, and more. Data collected through Onna flows directly into Logikcull for review without reprocessing or reindexing, making the combined platform a single workflow from collection to production across virtually every modern workplace data source. This is particularly valuable for complex matters involving multiple custodians across many platforms.
