New Web App and Relativity in eDepoze Release 1.5

eDepoze today announced an integration with Relativity, kCura’s web-based e-discovery platform, and is now listed in the Relativity Ecosystem. As a platform, Relativity allows developers to design, build, and tightly integrate applications that add or extend its functionality.

eDepoze is a paperless deposition software that allows attorneys to mark, introduce and share electronic documents in real time during a deposition. eDepoze now allows Relativity users to import their potential exhibits directly into the eDepoze application, eliminating the process of exporting relevant documents from Relativity and importing them back into eDepoze. This release also allows laptop users to attend depositions using a web-based app.

“Today’s paper deposition process is costly and time-consuming,” said Thadd Hale, COO of eDepoze. “Using eDepoze for paperless depositions and leveraging the Relativity integration will reduce the overall cost of litigation and streamline the intersection of depositions and e-discovery.”

“We’re excited that our partners are providing more options for the Relativity community through the Ecosystem,” said Andrew Sieja, president and CEO of kCura. “It’s great to see developers like eDepoze delivering point solutions that tackle specific litigation challenges, making the lives of our collective users easier.”

Solving the Dropbox problem, Hitachi announces free trial of new hassle-free, professional-strength

Although cloud file sharing services are convenient, users at law firms, healthcare organizations and other privacy-oriented businesses are inadvertently putting their files – and their firms – at risk for security breaches. Hitachi Solutions developed Credeon Cloud Data Protection as a straightforward drag and drop add-on that allows secure team collaboration and mobile access with confidential files that are shared on the widely used cloud services Box, Dropbox and SkyDrive.

Credeon Cloud Data Protection eliminates data exposure concerns on these popular services with easy-to-use, professional-strength data protection.  It automatically encrypts and decrypts files shared in the cloud, protects from accidentally distributing files in the clear, and includes a desktop key management system that prevents cloud services from accessing unencrypted files, among other features.

For a limited time, Credeon Cloud Data Protection is available as a no cost, fully-functional trial at http://credeon.hitachisolutions-us.com.

With Credeon Cloud Data Protection, global team managers and professionals working with private information directly control who can access and view files.  Sensitive files automatically remain in an encrypted state as they are distributed among team members and are shared on mobile devices. Since the encryption key is stored on the user’s system, not in the cloud, Credeon provides complete privacy and Dropbox, or the other file sharing services, cannot access the unencrypted data.  

Credeon Cloud Data Protection includes:

• Industry-standard AES-256 bit encryption algorithms and a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptograph module, among the strictest security in common use today
• Automatic encryption and decryption; does not require the user to alter file settings or set passwords
• Precise security controls, including offline IT management login policy and account lockout settings
• The ability to secure file sharing on multiple cloud services and with multiple project teams
• Unlike other data protection products, the encryption key is stored on the user’s system; the data is completely private and the cloud service never has access to the unencrypted data
• Patent-pending enhanced security key management system provides additional protection
• A free iOS application, with an Android app coming soon, that allows secure viewing of files on mobile devices

Evolve Discovery Selects Viewpoint to Achieve Greater Efficiencies In Its E-Discovery Business

Evolve Discovery Selects Viewpoint to Achieve Greater Efficiencies In Its Electronic Discovery Business

Leading West Coast e-discovery service provider brings Viewpoint in-house to streamline e-discovery workflow and reduce costs for its clients

SAN FRANCISCO and HOUSTON,  May 20, 2013 – Lateral Data, a Xerox company, today announced that Evolve Discovery has selected the all-in-one Viewpoint e-discovery platform to manage its clients’ e-discovery projects. Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, Evolve Discovery is a full service litigation consulting and project management company serving AmLaw 100 and Fortune 500 clients. Viewpoint integrates collection, pre-processing and process, early case assessment (ECA), analytics, review and production capabilities in a single product.

Evolve Discovery will host Viewpoint in its highly secure SSAE 16 datacenter, and will provide administration, training, project management and support for clients’ use of the technology. Clients will be able to access their matters hosted in Viewpoint anywhere, any time, just using a Web browser, eliminating the need to manage the same data in multiple locations.

“Viewpoint is a strategic investment for our business,” said Andrew Jimenez, President and CEO of Evolve. “We believe fully integrated e-discovery technology, including advanced analytics, will better meet customer needs now and in the future, and we expect to see significant efficiencies and cost-savings for both us and our clients. Its ease-of-use and intuitive user interface will also help our clients move through the review process more quickly.” 

Typically, organizations must invest in and integrate numerous disparate analytical tools that enable their clients to analyze information for early case and data assessments, review and production, a process that can be costly, inefficient and risk-prone. Unlike other e-discovery software, Viewpoint does not require third-party software or plug-ins for analytics or other capabilities. All functionality, including advanced analytics and its technology-assisted review module, is fully integrated into the platform, enabling greater workflow efficiencies.

Viewpoint’s integrated analytical capabilities include: 

• Near-duplicate review with side-by-side difference viewer – eliminates redundant data to accelerate review speed and productivity by automatically grouping similar documents      together;
• Email redundancy and thread management – identifies and groups messages that are 100% contained in subsequent emails in the same thread to defensibly reduce data volumes;
• Email relationship analysis – identifies the who, what and when of e-mail communications between custodians with simple graphic visuals and maps
• Concept analysis – quickly identifies important topics and groupings of related documents across and between concepts;
• Visual index – provides an in-depth view into search term results to meet a variety of review goals; and
• Assisted Review – cuts cost and time by automating review for document prioritization, QC enhancement or wholesale binary review. 

"We are excited to welcome Evolve as a Viewpoint partner,” said Matt Berry, founder and CEO of Lateral Data. “We look forward to helping them deliver exceptional e-discovery services to their clients.”

Evolve Discovery has other offices across the U.S. including Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Portland and Phoenix.

Kelley Drye & Warren LLP Brings Viewpoint In-House

Kelley Drye & Warren LLP Brings Viewpoint In-House

AmLaw 200 firm selects Viewpoint e-discovery software for its all-in-one functionality and ease-of-use; brings greater efficiencies and cost-savings to its clients

HOUSTON, May 20, 2013 – Lateral Data, a Xerox company, today announced that Kelley Drye & Warren LLP has selected Viewpoint as its primary e-discovery management platform. Kelley Drye is a full-service law firm headquartered in New York, NY with offices across the U.S. and internationally, including Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Stamford, CT, Parsippany, NJ and Brussels, Belgium.

Kelley Drye, which has approximately 350 lawyers and other professionals, will implement Viewpoint across its practice areas. It will use the platform to manage all phases of the firm’s clients’ e-discovery process using a single solution that integrates collection, pre-processing, processing, early case assessment, advanced analytics, review and production functionality. All modules are core to the platform, including its technology-assisted review capabilities. Furthermore, Viewpoint’s massively scalable architecture allows for the processing of a Terabyte of data or more per day, giving clients the ability to quickly conduct early case assessments and analyze data for complex litigation, internal investigations, Hart-Scott-Rodino second requests and M&A transactions, regulatory inquiries and other types of matters.

Typically, organizations deploy numerous disparate products to manage different parts of the e-discovery process, which can be costly, inefficient and prone to risk. Viewpoint’s all-in-one platform addresses these challenges, creating greater efficiencies in the process, reducing overall costs and eliminating risk associated with moving sensitive data between tools.

“Kelley Drye makes extensive investments in technology to continually drive greater efficiencies, service quality and cost-savings for our clients,” said Judith Flournoy, Chief Information Officer of Kelley Drye. “We expect that Viewpoint’s all-in-one e-discovery platform will drive greater efficiency,  speed the process, and reduce the cost to our clients.  We see the implementation of Viewpoint as a strategic investment.”

Kelley Drye selected Viewpoint after an extensive proof of concept process in which Viewpoint and other leading e-discovery platforms were evaluated. Case teams used the evaluation period to manage client cases in a live Viewpoint production environment to fully test the software in real-time. Viewpoint was ultimately selected by the firm’s attorneys for its comprehensive all-inclusive functionality, intuitive user interface and ease-of-use over other products.

"We are excited that Kelley Drye has selected Viewpoint for its e-discovery needs,” said Matt Berry, founder and CEO of Lateral Data. “We look forward to helping them achieve their and their clients’ objectives utilizing Viewpoint.”

Japan’s Leading E-Discovery Provider Achieves Lateral Data’s Viewpoint Gold Status

Japan’s Leading E-Discovery Provider Achieves Lateral Data’s Viewpoint Gold Status

Highest certification available demonstrates international e-discovery provider’s excellence in service delivery for Viewpoint end users along with expertise in helping law firm and corporate clients meet challenges of growing cross-border discovery requirements 

TOKYO and HOUSTON, TX, May 20, 2013 - Lateral Data, a Xerox company, and Ji2, a Japanese-based provider of electronic discovery services and computer forensics solutions for law firms and corporate legal departments, today announced that Ji2 has achieved Viewpoint Premium Gold Certified status.

Viewpoint Premium Gold is the highest certification level an organization can achieve, and is based on an evaluation of infrastructure, experience using Viewpoint and individual certifications held by its employees. Ji2 is the first Viewpoint partner in the Asia Pacific region to achieve Viewpoint Premium Gold status. 

“We are dedicated to providing exceptional e-discovery services to our clients, and are thrilled to have achieved best-of-breed status leveraging Viewpoint,” said Ted Fujisawa, CEO of Ji2. “Furthermore, Viewpoint is a distinct competitive advantage in ensuring our clients meet their complex cross-border legal compliance requirements.”   

Ji2 is headquartered in Tokyo, with an office in Cypress, California and a newly launched office in Taipei, Taiwan, which has enabled the company to expand its Chinese e-discovery services in Asia. Ji2 supports cross-border litigation involving Japanese, Chinese and Korean languages, and handles the technical and linguistic issues encountered in each matter.  

As businesses in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region expand globally, an increasing number have been involved in U.S.-based litigation. Unlike jurisdictions in many APAC countries that either limit discovery or have strict data protection and privacy laws that prohibit the unrestricted export of such information, the U.S. has stringent e-discovery rules that often require the exchange of massive amounts of documents among all parties. As a result, corporations and their law firms in many APAC countries are equipping themselves with robust e-discovery technology to successfully prepare for cross-border matters. Viewpoint enables clients to conduct upstream tasks on premise, such as collection, processing, early case assessment and initial review, while ensuring that only responsive data is sent to the U.S.

Viewpoint, which supports full Asian language processing, search and review, offers a full set of integrated capabilities, including collection, processing, early case assessment, analytics, review, case administration and production, that streamline and simplify the e-discovery process. Typically, organizations deploy numerous disparate products to manage different parts of the e-discovery process, which can be costly, inefficient and expose the firm and client organization to risk. Viewpoint eliminates that need, creating greater efficiencies in the process, reducing overall costs and mitigating risk associated with moving sensitive data between tools. Additionally, Viewpoint’s massively scalable architecture allows for the processing of a Terabyte of data or more per day, giving clients the ability to quickly conduct early case assessments and analyze relevant data prior to review.

“Ji2 has a track record for delivering exceptional e-discovery solutions to their clients, and we are excited to recognize Ji2 as a Premium Gold partner,” said Matt Berry, CEO of Lateral Data.

About Ji2
Ji2 supports cross-border litigation involving Japanese, Chinese and Korean languages and handles the many technical and linguistic issues that will be encountered, using native-language speakers to minimize communication issues and maximize efficiency whether working with English-speaking attorneys, Chinese IT, Korean managers or Japanese custodians. Ji2 provides a broad range of services, both directly to clients and as white-label services through partners, from collections and processing to translation and productions.  Its 120-seat review center in Tokyo provides managed Japanese-language review within Japan, with staff review capabilities in Taiwan, Korea and the U.S. For more information, visit www.ji2.co.jp.

10 Tips for Creating Winning Press Releases

Get the PR Visibility that will Drive Website Traffic, Leads and Sales

By: Erin Jones

______________________________________________________________

If you want to get your company noticed, in a hurry, press releases are one of the most effective ways to achieve rapid results – but only when they are well crafted and executed flawlessly. Follow these 10 tips and you’ll be amazed at the website traffic, leads and sales that can result from this public relations mainstay.

1.     Make it newsworthy. Your press release should contain information that is both timely and relevant to your readers – information that reporters want to pass on. Newsworthy topics include new product announcements, major company milestones, new customer wins, even upcoming presentations or events on key industry-related trends.

2.     Start it strong. Use your headline to grab attention and tell readers why they should see what you have to say. But headlines should also be short (between 90 and 120 characters) to encourage social sharing. If you need to put more in, use your subhead to underscore the key message and continue to capture reader interest.

3.     Write like a journalist. Press releases should always be in third-person and in the classic “reverse pyramid” news format with the most crucial news creating the lead. Your first paragraph should summarize the main announcement points. Use the rest of the release to provide details, background and data on why the news is important.

4.     Stick to the facts. Tell the truth and avoid fluff, embellishments, hype and exaggerations. Try to stay away from buzzwords and marketing-speak that may make your press release read more like an advertisement.

5.     Avoid industry jargon. If you need to use industry acronyms, do not assume all your readers know what they mean. Spell out acronyms on first reference and do not use industry terms that are not commonly known without first defining them for your readers.

6.     Embed your keywords. Press releases are a great way to drive search engine optimization, so do remember to embed your top keywords in each release – but do so strategically. Too many embedded keywords and links will work to your disadvantage. Keyword “stuffing” can impact press release pickup. For optimal results, use just two or three keywords per press release.

7.     Keep it short. You press release does not need to be long to say it all. Average press releases should be between 400 and 600 words. If you need to room for more, consider linking to additional materials.

8.     Quote the experts. A press release is a great opportunity to leverage “third party” resources to help you tell your story. Consider quoting industry analysts, customers and thought leaders to validate your message.

9.     Proofread, and proofread again. After your press release is written, have at least one more person review it to eliminate confusing sentence structure, typos or punctuation errors. Refer to the AP Stylebook for the proper journalistic style that should be used in all press releases.

10.   Use the right distribution channels. Sending your press release to the right targets is just as important as its content. Distributing it over a wire service is a great way to ensure broad visibility and enhance your website search engine optimization. However, directly targeting and submitting to the editors and publications you care about most can be the best way to assure the reporters you really want to see your news, will have that opportunity. Sending a press release to a media distribution list that has been customized for your announcement will dramatically increase the amount of coverage you receive.

Fuel the success of your press release programs by following these simple tips and you’ll achieve fast results that always keep you ahead of the competition.

TeamConnect CompuLaw Integration Saves Time and Mitigates Risk for Corporate Counsel

AUSTIN, Texas, January 30, 2013 – Mitratech, the leader in enterprise legal management solutions including matter management, e-billing and GRC management automation, today announced TeamConnect Deadlines will be available to clients in its forthcoming release.

Since partnering with Aderant in 2012, Mitratech has been working to fully integrate the CompuLaw-powered Deadlines.com engine into its TeamConnect Matter Management solution. With TeamConnect Deadlines, users have access to CompuLaw’s accurate date calculation engine utilizing the most complete, comprehensive database of court rules available on the market. This unique offering that supports automated docketing for litigated matters earned Mitratech a “Highly Innovative” designation in Hyperion Research’s 2013 Enterprise Legal Management MarketView Report.

“We are excited for another Mitratech first in the area of litigation management, for our clients and for the market at large,” said Eric Thurston, Mitratech president. “Through this integration, Mitratech is providing the automated deadline functionality used by most of the top law firms in America to corporate legal departments.”

Corporate legal staff members involved in docketing for litigation will, on average, spend over an hour researching the rules for a single jurisdiction and calculating court dates. The entire process is reduced to a matter of minutes using TeamConnect Deadlines. When combined with TeamConnect’s native rules engine, companies can generate reminders, tasks and run reports to track compliance creating the most powerful solution for managing litigation matters on the market today.

According to a survey from the American Bar Association, calendar and deadline-related errors are the leading cause of malpractice actions against lawyers. A single end-to-end solution not only creates additional efficiencies for legal staff members, but it protects staff attorneys involved in litigation from missing court deadlines which leads to potential malpractice risks.

“Accurately calendaring court dates and deadlines can be complicated and time consuming,” said Mike Barry, Aderant senior vice president. “We are excited to be partnering with Mitratech to bring the Aderant CompuLaw engine to corporate legal departments, providing them the same calendar automation capabilities utilized by top law firms.”

Deadlines.com’s database is monitored by a team of attorneys and specialists who continually check for rule changes and publish hundreds of updates each year. More than 70 percent of the nation’s largest law firms and 75,000 licensed timekeepers use CompuLaw’s technology today.

Mitratech will be present at LegalTech New York on January 29-31 to showcase available solutions, including TeamConnect Deadlines. Visit the Mitratech team at booth 2127 for more information.
