2. Reminder alerts for outstanding hold acknowledgments

If custodians have not acknowledged a legal hold notice within a defined SLA, OpenText Legal Hold can send automated push reminders. This helps legal teams drive completion without manual follow-up.

• Improves acknowledgment rates
• Reduces administrative effort for legal operations teams
• Creates a consistent escalation process for non-responsive custodians

3. Escalation notifications for overdue preservation actions

4. Real-time alerts for changes to hold scope or matter status

Data flow: OpenText Legal Hold → OpenText Push Notifications for Cloud Messaging

• Ensures custodians act on the latest hold requirements
• Improves coordination between legal, compliance, and business teams

5. Mobile alerts for legal hold release notifications

• Provides a clear closure point for the matter

6. Notifications to legal operations teams for workflow exceptions
