First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- determining that an unstructured document is associated with a business objected stored at an enterprise resource planning system;
storing link information identifying the business object in connection with the unstructured document in a content management system;
identifying a litigation matter;
executing an electronic discovery process across a plurality of object types for the identified litigation matter to identify relevant objects using a rules repository, the electronic discovery process being operable to automatically discover relationships among a plurality of the relevant objects;
detecting that the unstructured document is a relevant object; and
based on the link information stored in connection with the unstructured document, determining that the business object is also a relevant object.

Abstract
According to some embodiments, it may be determined that an unstructured document is associated with a business objected stored at an enterprise resource planning system. Link information identifying the business object in connection with the unstructured document may be stored in a content management system. A litigation matter may then be identified, and an electronic discovery process may be executed across a plurality of object types for the identified litigation matter to identify relevant objects using a rules repository. The electronic discovery process may be, according to some embodiments, operable to automatically discover relationships among a plurality of the relevant objects. It may then be detected that the unstructured document is a relevant object. Based on the link information stored in connection with the unstructured document, it may then be determined that the business object is also a relevant object.
