A corporation wanted to apply economies of scale to its eDiscovery process in order to reap cost savings. Maintaining a high level of quality and thoroughness was critical though. eDI's Review Automation eliminated irrelevant documents, organized relevant data and created substantial savings.

CASE STUDY

A corporation is regularly involved in reviewing data sets for litigation matters.  The corporation seeks to apply today's economies of scale to its eDiscovery process.  It places its highest priority on reducing cost, without sacrificing the quality and thoroughness of its efforts.  Focusing on the review stage, the corporation seeks to invest in an eDiscovery strategy that will enhance its ability to handle the growing volume of data, while simultaneously controlling the cost of its outside counsel's review process.  The primary factor the corporation is considering in selecting the appropriate platform for eDiscovery review is the potential cost savings that can be gained through the tools and features that the platform offers.

THE eDI SOLUTION

To help the corporation meet its cost reduction and review management goals, eDI provides its Review Automation solution.  eDI's Review Automation solution enables the corporation to streamline its review tasks into a proactive, automated, and repeatable process by offering multiple strategic advantages.

• Volume Reduction - Automatically prioritizing documents by relevance facilitates rapid assessment of the key issues and concepts in a case.  Utilizing a pre-review expert analysis of a sample set of project documents, eDI's Keyword Relevancy process facilitates the automatic prioritization of an entire document collection, enabling the corporation to quickly create a more focused data set by targeting relevant documents.  The document prioritization across the collection vastly reduces the amount of irrelevant data that will require outside counsel review.
• Automatic Document Organization - eDI applies a flexible rules-based document organization service that automatically groups documents in batches for review and data analytics.
• Workflow Automation - The eDI workflow engine is installed on the corporation's review database to trigger document routing from one folder to another.  Such routing is customizable.
• Review Validation - eDI sets up an automated process to validate the documents reviewed in the corporation's database.  Any inconsistencies in the data set are flagged and foldered.
• Automated Reporting - eDI's Review Automation system includes a highly flexible and customizable reporting engine that generates detailed and timely database stats, bringing transparency to all aspects of review.

CASE RESULT

Refining its document collection by eliminating vast amounts of irrelevant documents and organizing the remaining review set according to relevance rankings, allows the corporation to provide its outside counsel with a targeted collection of the most relevant documents.  This maximizes outside counsel's review productivity and consistency.  By providing a much smaller data set to outside counsel for review, the corporation also consistently cuts hourly review costs, thereby creating substantial savings in the overall cost of discovery and litigation.
