A major challenge facing many legal professionals today is finding a way to execute the eDiscovery collection process in a timely and cost-effective manner.  Typically, only a small percentage of documents in a collection are actually relevant to a given matter, forcing attorneys to cull through rapidly growing data sets to find appropriate documents prior to initial review.  With the incorporated features of Equivio>Relevance™, legal professionals can use CT Summation’s CaseVault Services to reduce the size of document collection, identify responsive documents, prioritize them before initial review and manage a distributed review. 

"The adoption of Equivio>Relevance™ technology enables CaseVault Services customers to identify relevant documents and to prioritize them by responsiveness prior to the review process," stated Amir Milo, CEO, Equivio.  "This automated document prioritization facilitates early case assessment and allows attorneys to focus on strategy earlier in the discovery process, while significantly reducing review costs."

By automatically prioritizing documents by relevance, Equivio>Relevance™ drives value throughout the eDiscovery process.  Its features create a number of key enhancements that integrate flawlessly with CT Summation’s platform to provide users with more efficient review capabilities:

• Early Case Assessment:  Equivio>Relevance™ facilitates rapid assessment of the key issues and concepts in a case, providing legal professionals with a rapid appraisal of the relevant documents, and saving time and money in the initial review stage.
  
• Smarter Culling:  Equivio>Relevance™ achieves high levels of recall and precision, helping overcome the challenges of over and under inclusion that characterize traditional keyword methods, and allowing legal professions to have a more precise reduction of the potential evidence. 
  
• Review Prioritization:  By organizing the review set according to relevance rankings, Equivio>Relevance™ enables prioritization of document review.  This allows attorneys to immediately focus on the most relevant documents and segment them into distributed teams.
  
• Review Quality Assurance:  By identifying discrepancies in the responsiveness designations of Equivio>Relevance™ and the review team, the application helps find responsive documents missed in the detail review.  Similarly, the discrepancies can be used to locate documents incorrectly marked in the human review.

“CT Summation is always, trying to find new ways to make the eDiscovery process less cumbersome and more efficient for our customers” said Tom Rump, general manager, CT Summation.  “Recognizing the importance of early case assessment, we’ve strategically partnered with Equivio>Relevance™ to help customers manage relevant documents more effectively at early junctures of the review process.”
