Integreon Scales Up eDiscovery with Major Upgrade of Technogy Infrastructure and End-to-End Services

Announces Largest Technology Release in Company History

LEGALTECH NEW YORK (HILTON NY, BOOTHS 1601 AND 1603) – February 4, 2014 – Integreon, a leading global provider of outsourced legal, document, research, and business support, today announced a major upgrade of its technology infrastructure and end-to-end services for greatly improved e-discovery performance and scalability. The changes include a new state-of-the-art co-location facility and suite of updated applications for the efficient analysis, processing, and review of electronically stored information.

“Two years ago, at the behest of clients struggling under vast volumes of data required for e-discovery, our team set out to reinvent the technology of e-discovery. The result is the most cost-effective, streamlined and highly scalable end-to-end e-discovery platform we’ve ever had to offer,” said Caragh Landry, Vice President, Legal Discovery, Integreon. “We’ve integrated the early case assessment and processing phases, adopted the latest releases for popular best-of-breed applications like Relativity and eView, and introduced a powerful new processing platform capable of scaling well beyond today’s largest project sizes, including achievement of data processing rates in excess of five terabytes or more per day.”

“What we are doing is building upon the momentum started with last year’s rollout of Integreon Complete, an all-inclusive pricing and services model that offers clients significantly greater predictability of both costs and outcomes,” said Brent Larlee, Global Head, Legal Services, Integreon. “Our investments in improved e-discovery technology takes this initiative a step further and reflects the seriousness of our commitment to providing clients with the best possible legal services and support.”

Integreon’s e-discovery capabilities span the EDRM with a fully integrated, end-to-end services platform, with improvements including:

New State-of-the-Art Co-Location for Processing and Application Hosting

Integreon has opened a co-location facility that enables high on-demand scalability for data storage, hosting, and processing capacities. The new architecture allows Integreon to rapidly add in new processing engines and agent servers in order to tackle clients’ volume processing and hosting needs.  Security has been enhanced as well, and includes on premises security guards, 24/7 camera surveillance, false entrances, vehicle blockades, bulletproof glass and biometrics, plus enhanced environmental controls, HVAC, fire suppression, and seismic protection.

Streamlined Workflow for Processing and Early Case Assessment (ECA)

Web-based applications now integrate data processing and ECA for a streamlined workflow that enables clients to reduce their data volumes by as much as 95 percent prior to full processing and review. The easy to use Web interface allows clients themselves to iteratively test date ranges, key terms and derivatives, select de-duplication options, and set file type and domain exclusions to ensure relevant documents are sent into subsequent processing and review phases.

Latest Versions of Best-of-Breed Applications for Review

Integreon has updated to kCura’s Relativity 8 for an improved document review experience, from data loading through production. The enhancements available in Relativity 8 allow review teams to review, redact and produce documents more quickly, more accurately and much more consistently than ever before. Another Relativity 8 addition is Binders – an exciting new option to review and redact documents offline using an iTunes app for iPad tablets. Clients will also appreciate knowing that Integreon is a Relativity Premium Hosting Partner with a team of Relativity Certified Administrators who are ready to support their projects from start to finish.

Integreon’s proprietary eView™ application has also been updated to include the very latest in CAAT technology from Content Analyst for significantly improved data analytics that can facilitate highly efficient review workflow processes. In addition, Integreon offers clients a choice of other popular review applications as well, including Concordance FYI and iCONECT XERA, among others.

Expanded National Forensic Collection and Analysis Team

Integreon has expanded the capabilities of its forensics and analysis team. Integreon’s e-discovery experts can help clients ensure sound and efficient collection and preservation methodologies and it has the resources to support a wide variety of project needs. Resources include a new state-of-the-art forensics lab in New York, one of the largest tape libraries in the US capable of restoring or indexing over 400+ tape formats, and a host of leading off-the-shelf and proprietary tools such as Integreon’s deployable Seek & Collect™ appliances for delivery of cost-effective collections.

Integreon is exhibiting at the LegalTech New York Conference taking place February 4-6, 2014 at the Hilton New York. Visit booths 1601 and 1603 in the hotel’s East Grand Ballroom to learn more about Integreon’s array of services for end-to-end e-discovery and other legal support functions.

LegalTech New York Day 2 Keynote Recap

Today’s keynote address was very well attended despite the inclement weather that kept one of the panelists away. The standing-room-only crowd suggested the continued interest in hearing the judges’ panel on “Changing Rules and Best Practices in e-Discovery.” Craig Ball moderated the discussion with Judges Shira Scheindlin, John Facciola, James Francis, and Andrew Peck; Judge Lee Rosenthal was also scheduled but was unable to attend.

Cell phone use was a big topic, including company cell phone vs personal cell phones being used for business. The panelists talked about the laws pertaining to the access of information available on cell phones, including who owns the data and identifying where information is stored. One theme that stood out: Federal Rule of Evidence 502 is the litigator’s new best friend, and it’s a good idea for attorneys to know the basics of today’s technology. Judge Facciola warned, “If you don’t understand technology, you will make a stupid argument that something is too expensive to do, when we know – and you should know – that it can be done more cheaply.” 

Catalyst to Showcase New Predictable Pricing Model

Cloud-based discovery software provider Catalyst Repository Systems, Inc., announced a new predictable pricing model for its big data e-discovery platform, Catalyst Insight, and for Insight Predict, its advanced, integrated technology-assisted review (TAR) technology. The new pricing model is specifically formulated to address corporations’ concerns around predictability, risk mitigation and hidden costs.

 

• Per Matter Pricing: “All In” Hosting Services: This option is for clients wishing to host individual cases at a fixed per-gigabyte price.

• Fixed Capacity Pricing: This option gives clients a flat per-terabyte rate for e-discovery hosting along with a small monthly per-user fee. Additional services, such as processing, data loading, productions and professional services can be added as needed. Corporations that require unlimited users and/or automated processing and productions can also purchase these on a monthly basis.

• GigaMonth Pricing: This option allows clients to pre-purchase “GigaMonth” credits at substantial discounts to use in any or all of their cases. Credits can be purchased in program packs for low per-gigabyte prices starting with a pack of 1,000 gigabytes, and up.

Exterro Expands Coud Delivery to Complete Exterro Fusion E-Discovery Software Suite

Exterro Inc., a leading provider of workflow-driven e-discovery software, today unveiled, FusionNow^™, its expanded delivery model that now enables all Exterro Fusion^® e-discovery applications to be managed in the cloud. FusionNow removes the burden of managing e-discovery software behind the company firewall and frees up legal, information governance and IT professionals to remain focused on critical business tasks. Exterro’s cloud-first approach delivers the added benefits of immediate Exterro Fusion software deployments and greater scalability as e-discovery demands change. FusionNow is being showcased, along with the full Exterro Fusion suite, this week at LegalTech New York in Exterro booth #230.

 

With FusionNow, all Exterro Fusion applications, including Fusion Genome® Data Mapping, Fusion Legal Hold™, Fusion Zeta™ Data Management, Fusion Project Management™ and other add-ons, can be completely managed in the cloud via Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) highly available and scalable cloud infrastructure. AWS offers data centers in multiple regions, including the United States, European Union and Asia, allowing all data to be securely stored in a specified geography. Gartner and Forrester are among industry analyst firms that rank AWS as the leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud provider based on its unmatched capacity and product portfolio.

 

“It comes as no surprise that companies are increasingly adopting a cloud-first strategy to focus their resources on core, value-add activities,” said Bobby Balachandran, Exterro’s president and CEO. “Exterro has offered hosted, cloud-based software deployments from the beginning. Expanding our delivery model with FusionNow fulfills our vision of delivering our entire e-discovery software suite in the cloud with the enterprise-class robustness that our clients have come to expect.”  

 

Installing the software on premise presents unique challenges, such as navigating the capital budgeting process, working with IT to acquire hardware, software implementation and ongoing system management. FusionNow eliminates these challenges and enables legal and information governance professionals to focus on what matters – efficient, cost-effective discovery – not software management.

 

More information about FusionNow is available at Exterro’s LegalTech New York booth, #230, taking place this week, Feb. 4-6, at The Hilton New York in New York City, as well as on Exterro’s website at http://www.exterro.com/ediscovery-software/fusion-now/

Exterro introduces application designed to mitigate risk of data spoliation from employee departures

Exterro Inc., a leading provider of workflow-driven e-discovery software, today unveiled Fusion Employee Monitor^™, its newest application designed to mitigate the risk of corporate data spoliation caused by employment changes. Fusion Employee Monitor detects employee status changes to ensure that critical information tied to business activities, legal matters or regulatory actions is adequately protected. Fusion Employee Monitor is being showcased, along with the full Exterro Fusion^® suite, this week at LegalTech New York in Exterro booth #230.

 

“The risks associated with employee status changes are very real, as evidenced by several high profile cases in which parties have been sanctioned for failing to account for departed employee data,” said Ted Gary, senior product marketing manager at Exterro. “Our clients came to us to address this dilemma. The ability for the Exterro Fusion platform to integrate with enterprise HR systems has enabled us to answer their needs with a versatile application.”   

 

According to the Society of Human Resources Management, the average annual employee separation rate is 13-15%. Large organizations easily experience 30 or more actionable employee status changes each week, creating substantial spoliation risk as computers are recycled, email accounts deleted, file shares purged and paper files destroyed. Manual approaches to protecting this data in the wake of employment changes are time consuming and error-prone. Fusion Employee Monitor automates this process by detecting, correcting and tracking changes, with built-in audit trails for demonstrating compliance with legal or regulatory obligations.

  

Fusion Employee Monitor interoperates with corporate HR and IT systems to detect employee status changes, such as terminations, retirements, leave-of-absences and transfers. The system automatically applies user-defined actions, which can include alerting stakeholders or assigning tasks that direct them to take corrective action, to ensure all impacted electronically stored information (ESI) is protected. Fusion Employee Monitor works in tandem with Exterro’s Fusion Legal Hold^™ application as well as a standalone product.

 

More information about Fusion Employee Monitor is available at Exterro’s LegalTech booth, #230, taking place Feb. 4-6 at The Hilton New York in New York City, and on Exterro’s website at: http://www.exterro.com/ediscovery-software/legal-hold/employee-monitor/

RenewData Introduces Enhancements to its Language-Based Analytics Dashboard

RenewData^® Introduces Enhancements to its Language-Based Analytics Dashboard

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Feb. 4, 2014 – RenewData, a legal consulting and technology company with solutions that address the full spectrum of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), today announced enhanced dashboard features for its Language-Based Analytics offerings that help in-house counsel monitor review progress, focus review efforts and prepare for depositions.

 

The dashboard for Language-Based Analytics, which integrates with kCura’s Relativity, consists of widgets that provide on-demand metrics for:  

 

• Hot Custodians tracks who has been talking about what and when. It also helps quickly identify relevant people for a particular issue when there are multiple issues and numerous witnesses.
• Review Status by Custodian reports on the review progress for individuals. This is helpful for deposition preparation. It also shows how many documents have had eyes-on review and how many documents have been automatically classified using Language-Based Analytics Review Acceleration.
• Hot Time Frames shows when people were talking about an issue so you can focus your search within the relevant time window.  
• Review Acceleration reports on review progress over time and shares the force multiplier effect of Language-Based Analytics in shortening the review process.

 

“With the amount of data contained in modern document reviews, it is often difficult for counsel to identify high-priority and relevant aspects of the process as they develop,” said Andy Kraftsow, Chief Scientist of RenewData. “The Language-Based Analytics Dashboard illustrates the value of knowing exactly how people talked about each issue, a benefit unique to Language-Based Analytics users.”

 

Language-Based Analytics relies on a patented highlight-driven bulk tagger and patent-pending keyword development technology to increase the speed and reduce the costs of today’s document reviews. When paired with the Language-Based Analytics Dashboard, the result is a more efficient and effective document review process that can be completed before 20 percent of the collection has been reviewed.

 

To learn more about the Language-Based Analytics Dashboard, go to http://www.renewdata.com or visit RenewData at LegalTech New York, Feb.4-6, 2014 (booth number 310.)

RenewData^® Clients Create Early Case Strategies and Reduce Costs with Language-Based Analytics℠ for Incoming Productions  

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Feb. 4, 2014 – RenewData, a legal consulting and technology company with solutions that address the full spectrum of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), today announced a new service and technology offering that enables counsel to quickly analyze large incoming document collections – Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions.

 

Incoming productions are becoming an increasing burden due to accelerated dockets, increased volumes of data and clients’ reduced budgets. Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions leverages a proprietary workflow, RenewData’s Language-Based Analytics technology, and specialized consultation to help attorneys quickly pinpoint key documents and gain the necessary insight to formulate important case strategies.

 

With Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions, counsel can answer fundamental concerns early in the process, such as whether the opposing party produced the documents requested, whether the right documents were requested, what the documents actually say about the issues and which documents will be used as exhibits.

 

“Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions quickly gives counsel an unprecedented visibility into productions – allowing them to create and prepare important case strategies very early into the process,” said Andy Kraftsow, Chief Scientist of RenewData. “Furthermore, this process – based on language and how it is used – provides transparent results in a short time frame, which can greatly reduce incoming production review costs.”

 Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions delivers:

 

• Fast analysis of voluminous collections, which allows attorneys to review documents based on the strategy of the case as it relates to each issue, as well as the ability to categorize, prioritize and analyze the collection for deposition preparation.
• The ability for attorneys to arm themselves with valuable data such as how many documents were produced in response to each issue and how many irrelevant documents were produced.
• Reduced time and costs with a logical and easy workflow that categorizes the documents based on the issues in the case, hones in on the most germane documents and weeds out irrelevant documents so they do not have to be reviewed.

 To learn more about Language-Based Analytics for Incoming Productions, visit RenewData at LegalTech New York, February 4-6, 2014 (booth number 310).

PureDiscovery Corporation Rebrands as Brainspace, Releases Brainspace Discovery™ 4

PureDiscovery Corporation Rebrands as Brainspace, Releases Brainspace Discovery™ 4

New Version of Flagship eDiscovery Solution Adds Rich User Experience, Performance Improvements.
Rebrand Orients Business Around Core Brainspace Platform

NEW YORK (Feb. 3, 2014) – Brainspace Corporation, formerly PureDiscovery Corporation, announced a major new release of its flagship legal suite, Brainspace Discovery 4, at LegalTech 2014 along with a corporate rebranding as it gets ready to release a new suite of consumer and business solutions throughout the year.

As part of the company’s strategy to further serve the legal market - including law firms, enterprise legal departments and legal service providers (LSPs) - Brainspace Discovery 4 is a ground-up redesign of the previous PureDiscovery LegalSuite  offering. The product incorporates an entirely new workflow-based interface that integrates the company's transparent concept search with a powerful suite of interactive data visualizations.

“In building Brainspace Discovery 4, we set out to create deep connections between all of our core technologies so they operate as a single unified platform,” said Dave Copps, CEO of Brainspace. “In a single environment, Discovery 4 clients can now transform their entire case data into a semantic intelligence—a Brainspace. They can search inside that data set and now visually analyze information in ways that are simply not possible in competing systems. Our customers regularly talk about the ‘eureka’ moment when Discovery 4 shows them deep connections between data, and answers to questions they didn’t know existed.”

Among the significant improvements in Brainspace Discovery 4 is the extreme level of care given to user experience. With an all-new, information-rich dashboard and a complete rethinking of the search interface, Brainspace Discovery 4 is a pleasure to use. “Industry-leading interfaces and delightful experiences are core values of the Brainspace Discovery product,” said Jacob Morse, vice president of product strategy for Brainspace. “Having spent time listening to our partners and users, every element in Discovery 4 has been designed with improved efficiency in mind, putting the incredible power of Brainspace at the fingertips of users with any level of search experience.”

Deployment automation and scale have been other areas of focus in Brainspace Discovery 4 allowing for simplified deployment on customer sites, with rapid setup of production environments minimizing the burden on IT departments. In addition, performance improvements have lead to the ability to import one million documents per hour and manage hundreds of millions of documents seamlessly.

Nashville based cicayda is expanding operations and raised $3.8 Million!

Nashville-Based cicayda Announces B-round of $3.8 million to Expand Operations

January 31, 2014 - Nashville, Tennessee - CEO Roe Frazer reports that cicayda llc, a Nashville-based software and services company focused on the legal and eDiscovery market, successfully has raised and closed $3.8 million in a B-round of capital investment. Coinciding with this is the launch of cicayda’s new product offerings and enhanced sales operations. 

“We have added even more all-star, strategic investors in this B-round,” says Frazer. Not only did we add investors from New York to Chattanooga, but our A-round investors also re-invested. With this round of investment, we are poised to move into the revenue life cycle of our company.” 

cicayda features a suite of software applications set on a proprietary search platform. Secured in a private cloud, cicayda’s first apps focus on the huge need for better workflow in electronic discovery in civil litigation. Its “staccato” app is an Early Case Assessment software that culls data to what is needed and allows attorneys to take a deep dive into the costs and risks of litigation early on in the life of a case. cicayda’s “drone” app is designed and priced for every lawyer – it gives solo attorneys to AmLaw 100 law firms an instant analysis of all the important relationships in a data production set. And, cicayda’s first product, fermata legal hold, features 50+ updates that allows companies to orchestrate a perfect litigation hold process. 

cicayda deployed its first proceeds of its A-round to hire an A-list of group of developers centered on using the most advanced open-source programming language called “clojure”. cicayda has grown to almost 25 employees in its downtown Nashville office less than two years, and maintains a hub office in Minneapolis. cicayda employs remote sales professionals in Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, and Austin. cicayda also has channel partners in Baltimore, New York, Louisville, and London, U.K. Frazer's earlier venture, CaseLogistix, is one of the fastest growing review products in Thomson Reuters’ suite of law office products. Frazer states: “We are keeping this B-round open through February 20, as we have had such high interest in our company, especially as we head out to Legal Tech New York next week.” Frazer says 2014 will be a big year for cicayda: “We plan to roll out what we are calling a “circular review” product, as well as an M&A workflow product leveraged by our incredible search engine.” cicayda is now offering high level professional legal consulting services led by its Knowledge Strategist and Vanderbilt Law Professor, Marc Jenkins.

HoudiniEsq Adds Native HotDoc™ Like Functionality

HoudiniEsq Adds SmartDoc™ Intelligent Document Automation

LogicBit Software Sets a New Bar for Cloud Based Legal Practice Software and Services

 

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. February 4th, 2014

 

Innovator and leader in Legal Practice Management Software-as-a-Service for enterprise, LogicBit Software Corp. announced today that it has added an intelligent automated document generation feature called “SmartDoc” to its core product HoudiniEsq. SmartDoc allows for the inclusion or exclusion of data, paragraphs, and general content based on conditional statements.

 

In the past, law firms were required to purchase expensive 3rd party products and services to create complex legal documents that were data driven and dynamically generated based on rules and conditional statements.

 

HoudiniEsq is the first Legal Practice Management product to fully support conditional statements and HotDoc like functionality within its robust document automation feature set natively. 

 

Users can now create beautiful polished PDF and Word documents and templates based on conditional logic either from within Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat or natively from within HoudiniEsq. Document data can be previewed via HoudiniEsq LiveDoc prior to generation for that final touch or dynamically generated, printed, or emailed based on workflow rules.

 

"HoudiniEsq offers its users a competitive advantage by streamlining workflow, increasing efficiency and reducing costs. SmartDoc is just another innovation in a long list of innovations we have planed for 2014." says CEO Frank Rivera.

 

The new SmartDoc feature is available free of charge to all HoudiniEsq users. 

 

HoudiniEsq is a 100% turn-key scalable web-based product that can be installed on-premise in a private-cloud configuration or accessed entirely via the Cloud. Both options offer secure remote access via a web browser to the organization’s data and workflow on just about any operating system and device.
