Making Sense out of Click-to-Open Ratios and Article Reads


Take a look at your conversion funnel, is it effective?

Whether analyzing your most recent email marketing campaign with a click-to-open ratio, or counting the number of article reads on your latest published masterpiece, converting clicks and reads into "warm prospect" requires an effective conversation interface.  Whatever your method of outreach (email, eNewsletter, banner ads, articles, etc.), the design of an effective conversion funnel requires prospects to be intrigued enough to be pulled into your conversation.

Social Web - Is there such a thing as Best Practices?

 The social Web is a platform for media based marketing, rich with opportunity for link building, to connect a user group, interact with prospects, and promote wares. The long-term impact of the social Web is yet-to-be discovered, leaving most to wonder where, when, and how to get involved. The development of a sustainable long-term campaign is best, as slow and steady has been the mantra for those winning the social Web race.

Masters Conference 2010 ~ Cloud Computing: Discovery, Compliance, Litigation Risks and Solutions

On day 2 of the Masters Conference there was a very well attended session on Cloud Computing. Carolyn Depko, director of media relations for Edge Legal Marketing attended this session and shared some notes. What is “The Cloud”? What is cloud computing? Many different types, sizes, shapes, etc. of cloud computing but some shared features/characteristics: “Cloud Computing” -Shared Servers -Many Locations -Unspecified Geographical Locations “Dedicated Cloud” -Company Dedicated Servers -Locations May Be Limited -Locations May Be Specified & Known “Hybrid Cloud” A combination of cloud and dedicated cloud. Biggest issue with cloud computing – Giving Up Control Biggest Benefit – Cost Savings and scalability BUT understanding the risks is key. Make sure all “stakeholders” are involved and understand the benefits and risks for them specifically. The risks and questions to ask: 1) Preservation a) How will the data in the cloud environment be preserved? b) What is the method of preservation? c) What is the speed/scalability of the method? d) Is it all or nothing and if it can be limited what are the blind spots? 2) Data Authenticity a) Will you be able to authenticate your data? b) Has the cloud provider developed a procedure for inputting data? c) Has the cloud provider built-in safeguards to ensure accuracy & identify errors? d) Do you know the processes that were applied to the data? 3) Litigation a) Can moving data to the cloud expose you to new litigation? b) Who is liable for data breaches? c) Are we going to see claims alleging negligent protection of data or negligent hiring of a cloud provider? 4) Compliance & Regulatory Issues Additional topics discussed: 1) Many service provider “don’t get” the needs and requirements of companies. 2) MANY questions need to be asked of your service provider on many different levels and angles. 3) VERY IMPORTANT to “test” the security and deliverables that were agreed upon. Quality Assurance testing and auditing are VERY important. Is your service provider producing accurate results? 4) Best Practice Standards – Can we get Best Practice Guidelines developed for this industry?

Masters Conference 2010 ~ International Judicial Panel on eDiscovery/eDisclosure

On day two of the Masters Conference, Chris Dale, UK's e-Disclosure Information Project; Justice Clifford Einstein, Supreme Court, New South Wales; Senior Master Steven Whitaker, Senior Master of the Senior courts of England and Wales, Queen's Bench Division held an "International Judicial Panel" and here are a few take-away's from their fabulous discussion! The UK & England - The term for e-discovery in the UK is e-Disclosure - The “English rule on cost recovery.” – the “winning” party gets reimbursed for their discovery costs. - Master Whitaker – the scope of disclosure is different in the UK. There’s poor case management and very little judicial training. - The ESI Questionnaire – Using the ESI Questionnaire as a tactical tool. It is a helpful guide to issues which might arise and of which only some may be relevant to a given case. Both parties agree to use it OR the use can be ordered by the court. - The UK’s view is if you don’t find the smoking gun too bad. Australian Discovery - Discussion on the Australian rules of e-discovery and the differences/similarities. Justice Clifford Einstein says judges want to get to the heart of the case. They don’t have time to review volumes of unnecessary information. He also commented that he was glad to see (evident from the Masters Conference particularly) that the development and advancement of e-discovery technology has worked in the benefit of the profession. - The law is meant to be for everyone but the legal system is moving towards favoring the “bigger” guy not the small guy. There will be no room for the small, average person to bring a case because of the costs and the cases involving the largest sums of money seem to be first heard. - Australian approach to judicial education/training on technology – each Judge when appointed goes to school for about a week and is taught by peers with the most experience and grasp on current technologies being used. - Requirement in Australia for electronic production of documents in all cases where the number of documents exceed 200 so virtually all cases involve electronic discovery. Question from Craig Ball: What is in place in England/South Wales that encourages or prohibits the opponent to produce in native format? Response from Whitaker: There must be an agreement on format established early on. Conclusion Courts need to reign in the e-discovery and early intervention by the court is essential.

Masters Conference 2010 ~ Views from the W Hotel

I lived and worked in Washington DC in the summer when I was going for my undergraduate degree. Some of the best moments were when we'd go to the top of the W (formerly the Washington Hotel) to take in some of the best views of the city! In this video you will first see the White House, then the Washington Monument. You can see other national monuments from the W, but they are at a distance. The W was where many of the speakers and attendees stayed for Masters Conference 2010.

Masters Conference 2010 ~ Judicial Expectation in e-Discovery

Carolyn Depko, director of media relations for Edge Legal Marketing, session notes from the Masters Conference 2010.

Judicial Expectation in e-Discovery
Day 1

Speakers:
Judge Joy Conti - JC
Judge John M. Facciola - FAC

Q – How much of a problem is e-discovery for you?
JC – Certainly in some cases it’s a big problem. BUT the key is having an open dialogue.  Open dialogue is very important. Having provisions in place is also important.  Her court’s 26F report includes specific questions and a check list regarding discovery and preservation. Unfortunately today many attorneys are not taking seriously the issues that can come up during discovery.

FAC – On the Federal level, experiences particular aspects and developments unique to the government and government involvement.  Several being 1) the U.S. as a defendant 2) the gov’t as a holder of a lot of information in cases & suits and 3) the gov’t as the “demander” of information.

FAC – A trend and a more frequent occurrence of Judges questioning the amount of money that is being spent on e-discovery and wondering WHY the money and time is being spent. Is it worth it? 

JC – Education for Judges is key and welcomed.  She loves groups such as “Friends of e-Discovery” and any program available to her and fellow judiciary colleagues that help to educate and keep her abreast of technological developments, e-discovery processes and methodologies used in capturing data and search and e-discovery tools.

JC – Highly recommends getting to know the judges on your state and federal benches.  Reach out to a couple about opportunities to meet with them and discuss e-discovery issues and developments. Hopefully those couple can get their colleagues involved.  Education is important to the judicial community.

KEY/top-of-mind topics and issues: Cooperation and proportionality

JC – Cooperation is something Judges can take more control of and get involved in earlier. Proportionality – the parties need to discuss first and then go to the judge with issues and opinions on costs and requests. 

It’s important to come with the mindset of cooperation. It saves A LOT of time and Money.  It just makes sense. Parties need to BE PRACTICAL.  What needs to be considered: What is the most economical way to get the information we need in this case.

FAC – Commenting on the issues that arise when the two parties are not on the same level of “understanding” in terms of the technology available. When the levels of knowledge regarding the e-discovery process, tools and costs are very different – it can create a lot of issues and the judges often need to step in and make suggestions about methodology and solutions. The difference in knowledge is a deterrent to cooperation because one party just “doesn’t get it.”

Development of a Special Masters Board where the members will work pro bono to mediate and educate parties in a case on e-discovery processes available and get some agreement.

Q – In terms of the duty to preserve for corporations, are you seeing that issue come up more or how are you currently handling the preservation issues?

JC – Companies need to handle/discuss preservation in the cooperation stage. And if there’s an issue with preservation and agreeing on terms it is important to come to the court with the issues early. The earlier the better to get any issues straightened out.

FAC – Has no patience for companies that make NO effort to preserve what they should and/or keep WAY too much information and then they say the costs to produce and process that data will just be too much.

JC – Has less sympathy for companies that have arbitrary deletion policies of 2 weeks. Why do you have that policy?  Does it make sense? And if there’s no good reasoning behind that policy she’s not happy about it. Where is the justification for the policies? Why are you not saving e-mails for at least 1-2 months instead of 2 weeks?

Communication between IT & management IS KEY.

FAC – The IT staff and management should know one another.  He can’t believe after 15 years or so this disconnect is getting worse not better.  Where is the cooperation between IT and management?  The management needs to know what their firms/company’s retention terms and policies are BEFORE a litigious situation. 

FAC – He wants/needs “proof” from an expert that a cost/request is too “burdensome.”  He wants something tangible to back up that statement.

Daubert Challenges

JC – IT folks are VERY up front and honest.  When IT can get together and discuss what will be delivered and how parties can avoid the “dueling experts” in court. 
FAC – It’s important to “head it off at the pass.”  Agree to the terms, process, experts early on.

Communication between Counsel 

JC – Important for counsel to communicate with one another and target the necessary information.  How many employees’ e-mail do you REALLY need?  Identify what employees are really relevant and involved in the case.  Be realistic about how much information needs to be collected.

Words for tomorrow?

JC – Privacy, Indemnification; using third parties
FAC – Protective orders; “Free Discovery” – the generational divide as younger people are not as protective of privacy.

Trident Pro Helps Neal Gerber Eisenberg Manage E-Discovery Burden

Chicago Lawyer Legal Technology Update - 2010

Nina Dennison

Discovery has always been one of the most difficult aspects of litigation. With the explosion of electronic data and recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it has become an even more difficult, risky and expensive undertaking. Not only do our clients have so much more data to comb through, in the form of emails and other electronic data, but the timeframes to complete discovery are also shrinking while clients and attorneys are being held more accountable for the quality of their work.

EMC Delivers Information Governance to Unstructured Content

New Additions to EMC SourceOne Portfolio Help Customers Gain Visibility and Control Over Unmanaged Information

HOPKINTON, Mass.June 23, 2010 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today added two new products to the EMC® SourceOnefamily providing customers with the ability to cost-effectively manage growth, retention and e-discovery of unstructured content—documents, audio and video files that reside on disparate systems.  This announcement builds on existing EMC SourceOne solutions delivering a holistic approach to information governance that comprise archiving, e-discovery and visibility across multiple content types including e-mail, SharePoint and files.  EMC SourceOne’s next-generation architecture is unique and surpasses the competition in addressing the problems associated with today’s exponential content growth.  With EMC SourceOne, customers can address their most pressing information governance challenges today and realize quick time-to-value.  Information governance practices can then be expanded over time to further reduce operational costs, simplify e-discovery and mitigate risks.

 

EMC SourceOne File Intelligence

             EMC SourceOne File Intelligence provides insight into the volumes of unstructured content so customers understand what content they have, where it is stored and the value of the content.  By understanding the business value of content, organizations can use this intelligence to develop ongoing policies that align information to its value and mitigate the risks associated with unknown or unmanaged information. Unlike traditional file reporting tools, SourceOne File Intelligence allows organizations to take appropriate actions which include deleting inappropriate content such as obscene and explicit images, moving information to a secure repository like EMC Documentum® or utilizing the SourceOne archive and/or tiered storage for long-term archiving.

            SourceOne File Intelligence is not a static tool and can be set up to run regular scans of content in file servers using basic file attributes or conduct a more complex analysis based on the file content.  By helping customers understand where unmanaged content resides, what resources it consumes and how much is redundant, SourceOne File Intelligence can lower costs, reduce risks and enhance operational performance. 

 

EMC SourceOne for File Systems

            As the newest archiving module for EMC SourceOne, EMC SourceOne for File Systems allows for the policy-based archival of inactive or duplicate content stored on file systems and enforces consistent retention and disposition policies over high volumes of unstructured content to ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations.  By archiving file system and other unstructured content into a centralized, deduplicated and indexed archive, a single search can retrieve all relevant content for quick response to an investigation or e-discovery request.  Customers can also reduce operational costs and improve back-up and recovery operations by reclaiming file server capacity, eliminating redundant content and leveraging tiered storage.  Coupled with SourceOne File Intelligence, organizations can apply intelligent policies to differentiate between irrelevant and business-critical content that should be archived in a central SourceOne archive.

 

Current IT Systems are Inadequate for Managing Unstructured Content

            According to the EMC-sponsored 2010 IDC study titled, “A Digital Universe Decade, Are You Ready?,” the amount of digital information created last year grew 62 percent, 85 percent of which is unstructured content.  The amount created annually is expected to grow by a factor of 44 from 2009 to 2020 as all major forms of media – voice, TV, radio, print – complete the journey from analog to digital.  While more than 70 percent of the digital universe is generated by individuals, enterprises will have the responsibility for storing, protecting and managing 80 percent of the digital information created annually.

 

            In a recent survey of 126 business and IT professionals by Enterprise Strategy Group, 83 percent said that a comprehensive information management strategy will become even more important in the next three years.  However, it is readily apparent that there will be substantial challenges ahead of implementing these strategies.  While majority of the respondents have well-established information management policies, nearly half stated that their current IT systems to apply and enforce these policies are inadequate.  For example, 49 percent of the respondents said that they weren’t sure or did not believe that their organization consistently deleted all data inclusive of any copies when it was no longer needed for compliance, legal or business purposes.

Nuix Unveils eDiscovery SuperComputer

 

Washington, DC – Nuix, a worldwide provider of eDiscovery and electronic investigation technology, has unveiled the world’s first eDiscovery SuperComputer, radically changing the way companies can manage their litigation and regulatory matters. 

 

The Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer is an out-of-the box enterprise-grade system which can be taken on-site to enable law firms, litigation support firms, corporations, government agencies and other organizations to undertake fast and powerful early case assessments on both the smallest and largest cases.

 

It combines the highly advanced Nuix3 electronic discovery (eDiscovery) software with the latest in computer hardware to create the most powerful and portable eDiscovery processing, review and production system on the market. 

 

A few of the key features of the SuperComputer include:

  • Fastest processing engine by an order of magnitude - over 2.5 TBs of data in a day, which is up to 50 times faster on average than competitors (and 2.5 times faster than Nuix’s June speed benchmark)
  • Able to host up to 25 concurrent reviewers while simultaneously processing data at 100GB per hour
  • Able to host over 200 concurrent reviewers when not processing
  • Intuitive and simple-to-use interface that is familiar to anyone who uses email
  • A single, portable server which enables litigation support personnel to process behind the corporate firewall

 

”Most organizations involved in litigation and compliance matters are very sensitive about sending great volumes of data out for processing,” commented Nuix CEO Eddie Sheehy. “The Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer gives companies undertaking ECA the ability to scale up internally for virtually any size case and it can be done in a day, whether it is a 2GB or a 2TB case.”

 

“One US-based client using a single Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer was able to process 1.2 million Bloomberg emails in 43 minutes,” continued Sheehy. “The client had previously processed the same batch of emails using its old system across 23 servers, which took four days to achieve the same result.”

 

A video demonstration of the Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer at work can be viewed at http://nuix.com/eDiscovery.asp?active_page_id=309.

Industry’s most innovative e-discovery technology now offers Unified Module, multi-core processing, data warehousing and other upgrades to help attorneys process data faster and cheaper

ORLANDO, FL., (August 23, 2010) - Orlando-based Wave Software, a leading provider of early case assessment, legal hold, litigation support and electronic data discovery technology for global corporations, today announced the release of Trident Pro 7.0. This upgrade includes a Unified Module, data warehousing, multi-threaded processing, native file viewer, OST processing, “multi-core” processing and project management workflow tools. It is used by law firms, corporate legal departments, litigation support professionals and e-discovery service providers as a cost- and time-saving tool to quickly process, filter and cull data in preparation for attorney review.

Trident Pro 7.0 has a new Unified Module allowing management of all sources and processes in a single interface. Users may de-duplicate, search interactively, preview, and export the selected results into the most popular review formats. This module essentially combines the functionality of E-mail De-Duplication, E-mail Filter/Merge/Split, File De-Duplication and Native Review Bridge and adds document previewing. Trident Pro 7.0 also includes a near-native viewer, which allows reviewers to see any documents in the file set and narrow in on the items that were responsive to the search criteria. This enables a finer level of control and better culling on the subject matter prior to releasing it for review.

Version 7.0 now has data warehousing capabilities for Trident Pro users. They will be able to search old and new data, review past clients and retrieve prior search terms. Trident Pro’s data warehouse enables case management and analysis and delivers matter information with its traditional easy–to-use interface.

The Trident Pro 7.0 upgrade provides tremendous advantages for legal professionals with its greater flexibility, speed and scalability. New features include:

  • Unified Module that provides seamless processing throughout all of Trident Pro’s modules, including E-mail De-Duplication, E-mail Filter/Merge/Split, File De-Duplication and Native Review Bridge.
  • Data warehousing that includes tagging capabilities and the ability to save custom labels. This feature will allow users to access and process data more quickly and easily than ever before.
  • Automated crash recovery system that instantly recovers projects should Trident Pro stop processing, so the user can restart projects quickly and easily.
  • Expanded data type capabilities where it can process OST (offline storage files), EDB (Microsoft Exchange Files) and OCR documents.
  •  Enhanced project management tools that give users more information and allows them to make strategic decisions regarding project timelines, scope and deliverables.
  • Threaded processing where data is automatically distributed to multiple processing machines that can operate simultaneously, dramatically improving processing speed.

“Wave Software’s mission and mainstay has always been its remarkable balance of flexibility, ease-of-use, speed and ability to give attorneys what they need to be successful litigators. Version 7.0 continues this tradition by giving users robust new capabilities that meet the needs of today’s electronic discovery challenges,” said Wes Hodges, Wave Software’s CTO. “The performance and workflow improvements should benefit both our extensive user community and developers looking for new e-discovery solutions.”

Edge Legal Marketing and Masters Conference Partner

Minneapolis, MN AND Orlando, FL – September 22, 2010 –Edge Legal Marketing, a marketing and public relations firm serving the needs of companies targeting the legal market, and Masters Conference, an advanced legal educational experience, have partnered to bring The Edge Room—a “green” version of the old press room—to the 2010 conference. This year’s conference theme is “Litigation and Discovery in a World of Technology,” and will be held Oct. 4-6, 2010 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C.

 

The Edge Room is a “green” initiative and will enable sponsors and exhibitors to easily upload their company information and show announcements. Exhibitors can also elect to have their news distributed to The Edge Room’s social media outlets for further market penetration. This gives exhibitors expanded announcement coverage and it gives members of the media electronic access to preview this information and plan their stories or meeting itineraries for the conference.

 

“We believe The Edge Room is the press room of the future. Historically, an event press room contained stacks of exhibitor media kits, resulting in a large amount of paper waste generated after each show,” explained Amy Juers, CEO and founder of Edge Legal Marketing. “We are excited to partner with the Masters Conference. The Edge Room relieves media from having to tote a large volume of media kits, and exhibitors decrease their media kit production time and paper waste. Exhibitors have peace of mind that their press announcements and media kits get into the hands of the media, and best of all, The Edge Room helps out the environment.”

 

Media interested in gaining access to The Edge Room to preview information submitted by exhibitors at the Masters Conference 2010 will be given a unique username and password. They will be able to plan their time prior to attending the show, and will have online access to search, view and download information submitted by the companies in attendance.

 

Legal professionals can also watch what is happening at the conference via The Edge Room’s social media outlets. Learn more at www.theedgeroom.com, or connect via Twitter, LinkedIn or The Edge Room Blog.

 

Exhibitors and sponsors will receive access to The Edge Room today. Deadline to post information to The Edge Room is Thursday, September 30, 2010. If you are a member of the media and would like to request a free press pass or would like access to The Edge Room, contact lgarrett@EdgeLegalMarketing.com.

 

The Masters Conference brings together leading experts and professionals from law firms, corporations and the bench to develop strategies, practices and resources for managing the information lifecycle. This year’s conference will focus on how corporations can protect themselves against the risks associated with global, mobile and cloud-based opportunities and challenges. It delves into legal hold strategies, international privacy laws, high profile scandals, security breaches, IP threats, increased litigation, audits and regulatory investigations. To learn more about the conference, visit www.themastersconference.com.

Interview with Connie Moser of American LegalNet at ILTA 2010

Interview with Connie Moser of American LegalNet during exhibit hall hours at ILTA in Las Vegas August 2010

Thursday, September 2, 2010

Interview with Bill Ho of Biscom at ILTA 2010

The Biscom Delivery Service (BDS) team headed to Las Vegas last week and exhibited at the International Legal Technology Association’s 2010 conference. ILTA's Peer to Peer featured BDS a few months back. Here is Bill Ho, VP internet products talking about the new BDS 4.0 release, as well as their new iManage integration module.

More notes from ILTA educational session on Day 2!

Jennifer Marsnik from Edge Legal Marketing attended another interesting ILTA session on Tuesday afternoon – SaaS as a Strategic Option to Control Litigation Costs. Her notes ~Panelists Michael Lackey from Mayer Brown LLP, Jonathan Mass from Ernst & Young LLP, and Jack Halprin from Autonomy iManage shared an insightful discussion debating the pros and cons to hosting data internally versus using software as a service (SaaS). A good question posed in response to concerns about data security – how many of us really know how secure our data is today, regardless of where it’s currently residing? In-house systems are sometimes less secure than the cloud. Key takeaways: firms are driven by the same economics as most corporations and need to educate decision makers, addressing their fears or concerns head-on. Revenue isn’t going up so costs must come down for firms to gain a competitive advantage. The lowest price does not necessarily equal the lowest cost. Capable project management is critical; lawyers are not PMs.

According to Mr. Lackey, a Sedona Conference () committee is actively working on updated standards for data hosting. Good news for firms negotiating SLAs with their vendors; this should assist in defining process/procedures related to issues including overall data handling, staff training, and what happens to the data after a case is over.

Tip offered to firms: don’t enter into 3rd party data hosting agreements – instead, offer clients a list of “preferred providers” or recommendations for reputable hosting vendors. It’s about risk management, on many levels.

Meetings and Greetings at ILTA 2010 ~ fun movie of cocktail reception

On Monday night at ILTA there was a Vendor Reception, Viva ILTA Vendors! The hall was transformed into an "old style" Vegas lounge for exhibitors. Members strolled from one club or lounge act to the next and make stops at exhibitor booths while enjoying local food and drink. Enjoy this quick clip movie of various fun booths that were visited during the vendor reception!

Quick notes from ILTA educational session on Day 2!

8/24/2010
A good session at ILTA on Day 2 of tracks & sessions featured panelists Beth Chiaiese & Jodi Malek, both from Foley & Lardner LLP, titled The Changing Regulatory Landscape and Its Effect on Law Firms. While lawyers have historically been self-regulated in the U.S., the current economic climate is allowing their clients to demand more/better from their outside counsel and the gov’t continues its effort to step-up regulation of them. Because the attorney/client privilege requires their duty of confidentiality trumps all else, some argue regulations related to security or privacy enforced by the government should not apply to them.

Beth & Jodi shared some great examples of why this issue is so critical – from open-architecture and million-dollar KM systems that leave firms open to privacy breaches to client-driven issues including RFP responses loaded with commitments and ethical obligations that require consideration. Their chat about social networking was a bit amusing...some lawyers apparently forget that they are lawyers 24/7 and need to use a bit of common sense before posting on Twitter & Facebook!
ILTA Vendor Business Meeting & breakout programs on Monday, Aug. 22nd

ILTA’s annual vendor business meeting & breakout program was filled with great info and useful insight as usual! Congrats to ILTA on the recent award won for their Peer to Peer magazine. And thanks to Peggy for the reminders of all the great sponsorship/advertising opportunities available all year to reach ILTA members.

Joy Heath Rush and Scott Christensen, past & current ILTA presidents, respectively, shared some great tips about working with and marketing to ILTA members. A good reminder for vendors: take the time to know your clients. Ask how they want to be communicated with and follow through appropriately, because people prefer different channels – some like e-mail, others don’t; likewise for voice mails, etc. And demonstrate your thought leadership by providing education-oriented value to your clients and prospects. Panels on thought leadership and public relations offered great discussions about better positioning your company by demonstrating expertise and credibility. And the social media panel also did a nice job offering tips to companies interested in getting started with that medium. Become part of the dialogue!

Wave Software to Exhibit and Demonstrate Industry-Leading Trident Pro E-Discovery Software at LegalTech West Coast

ORLANDO, FL., (June 18, 2010) - Orlando-based Wave Software, a leading provider of early case assessment, legal hold, litigation support and electronic data discovery technology for global corporations, today announced that it will participate again in LegalTech West Coast on June 23-24, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Wave Software professional staff will be available in booth 308 to do product demonstrations of its award-winning Trident Pro electronic discovery software. As electronic discovery nightmares for the Gulf Oil Spill are about to take full hold, corporate USA is bracing for another landmark litigation that will most likely produce a plethora of data that needs to be collected, processed and subjected to attorney review. Legal teams are most likely going to have to sift through and collect massive amounts of data in both paper and electronic form just as they did for Exxon. Although the Exxon litigation is still fresh in legal minds, it is more than twenty years old. This industry has seen transformational changes due to Exxon, Enron, tobacco and pharmaceutical litigation and it expects to see the same from the Spill. Scenarios such as these drive amendments to the FRCP, The Sedona Principles, EDRM and the EU Directives. As defense and plaintiff firms are lining up to mend and defend, it is imperative for them to develop a sound technological discovery protocol that includes industry-leading technology such as Trident Pro. At Wave Software’s booth 308, litigators can learn how Trident Pro takes data in its native format and culls, de-duplicates and identifies near-duplicate discovery data. The software typically reduces collections by about 25 percent thus reducing the amount of time and money associated with attorney review. Since its inception in 2006, Wave Software has experienced a minimum of 200 percent growth year after year. The company’s success was driven by a dramatic increase in the number of global consulting firms, law firms, corporate legal departments and legal vendors that have adopted the company’s Trident Pro suite of applications. In the past, Trident Pro won the Socha-Gelbmann Top Provider award. More recently it won an ITFlorida award for Excellence in IT Leadership in the Central Florida division and in January, Founder and CEO, Robert Childress accepted two bronze LTN Awards on behalf of the company.
