e-Discovery

Introduction

As a critical process for documentation recovery, review and analysis in civil litigation, e-Discovery must ideally go beyond simple keyword search to enable legal professionals, researchers, IT managers and forensic analysts to access and share the precise information they need.

An effective e-Discovery solution will deliver a clear ROI wherever people need to review, monitor or manage documents - reducing review costs and capturing every piece of relevant intelligence. The chart below provides a visual representation of the typical process.

Customer Requirements

e-Discovery customers have a number of specific requirements, notably:

  • Ability to search, find and use the precise information they need, quickly; whilst also being able to identify and suppress redundant information.

  • Facilitate new and relevant lines of enquiry - based on the information results and links generated.
  • Absolute certainty and confidence of knowing that they have all relevant, up-to-date pieces of information availabler (given the legal and business risks of unidentified information gaps).
