Valero's Cloud Migration for Information Governance

This case study outlines Valero Energy Corporation's partnership with Global Relay to enhance its information governance through a cloud-hosted archiving solution. Valero, a leading petroleum manufacturer, faced challenges with its on-premise data management system, which was inadequate for handling the volume and complexity of electronic communications data. The company sought to improve operational efficiency and streamline its eDiscovery processes, which were hampered by the limitations of its existing system. By migrating to Global Relay's solution, Valero aimed to consolidate its electronic communications into a single platform, thereby improving workflows and reducing reliance on IT for data retrieval. The new system allows for automatic data retention and legal holds, significantly enhancing the Legal team's ability to manage records requests efficiently. The case study details the successful implementation of this cloud solution, which has already resulted in improved response times and greater control over data management for Valero.
