Review Performance Module

Applied Discovery is a worldwide electronic discovery leader that offers multinational collection, analytics, processing,review, and production services for law firms, corporations, and governmental entities. As part of a complete suite of electronic discovery services, the optional Applied Discovery Review Performance Module allows litigation support professionals to see, understand, and maximize review project performance by providing online monitoring of key review measurements to help users make informed real-time decisions that can positively impact project time and cost. The Time and Cost Challenge of Review Document review is usually the most time consuming and costly of all the core electronic discovery tasks with reviewer staffing costs typically being at least four times greater than the cost of analytics and processing phases. In fact, on an electronic discovery project starting with 500GB of client data that is ultimately reviewed by 40 reviewers making 100 document decisions per hour and working 10 hours per day, it may take almost two months to complete at a cost of over one million dollars1. With these review time and cost challenges in mind, it is of paramount importance that litigation support managers be able to see, understand, and maximize review project performance in order to quantitatively and qualitatively enhance the conduct of the review. The optional Review Performance Module helps managers meet these challenges in an ACTIONable manner.
