The sheer volume of potentially relevant electronically stored information (ESI) in companies and government organizations challenges any organization to understand the costs of e-discovery and prepare for each step of litigation. Even with data already in litigation hold and through a first pass filter there can be a tremendous volume to sift through, leaving many uncertainties.
The question then becomes this: How do you extract the information you need in order to understand the potential costs of a full review without undertaking a full review — and still be prepared for a Rule 26 meet and confer?
iReview Analytics™ is our early case assessment (ECA) tool that gives you the insight you need to be prepared. iReview Analytics utilizes a new class of technologies known as “Text Analytics”, to transform large volumes of unstructured data, such as documents, emails, and publications, into relevant, actionable information. Text Analytics automate most of the human activity traditionally associated with ECA to understand, organize, prioritize and retrieve information from large sources of unstructured data.
iReview Analytics provides advanced Conceptual Search functions based on Latent Semantic Indexing. This search technology enables iReview Analytics to acquire all its search intelligence from the actual documents being indexed. Unlike other solutions, iReview Analytics does not require external dictionaries or thesauri. It works across foreign languages, even searching – and finding – relevant documents in different languages –without prior translation.
iReview Analytics returns to you an analysis of your data that identifies key concepts, categorizes those concepts and then provides you the ability to sample the documents based on the most relevant categories. This early case assessment gives you the information you need to understand costs and prepare for Rule 26 meet and confer at a fraction of the cost of a full review.
iReview Analytics™ Capabilities:
Concept Search – Using advanced mathematic formulas to allow users to find similar, related, and relevant documents based purely on the concepts those documents are discussing – without using keywords, and without retrieving “matching, yet irrelevant” content.
Categorization – Allows users to define categories by means of examples. Based on the exemplars, iReview Analytics automatically categorizes incoming documents.
Instant Context (Contextual Explanation) – Helps users understand unfamiliar terminology. The user clicks on an unfamiliar term and iReview Analytics highlights similar terms found in related text.
Language Analytics – Within any single language, iReview Analytics can be applied to any topic, vocabulary or language that can be represented in the Unicode encoding system. In a cross-lingual mode, users can submit queries in English while searching documents in other languages.
Summarization – Automatically identifies sentences in a document that best represent key concepts, and uses those sentences to give users a quick summary of the entire document.
Dynamic Clustering – Allows a user to point iReview Analytics to a set of documents and then allow iReview Analytics to dynamically group conceptually-similar documents together in a tree-type hierarchy and finally, to apply a descriptive title to each cluster of documents.
Near Duplicate Document Detection – Uses iReview Analytics Dynamic Clustering to identify and group documents that are duplicates and/or near-duplicate documents, as well as identifying the extent of duplication.
The iReview Global Discovery Platform™ is a flexible and easy-to-use document repository that substantially reduces electronic discovery costs through the efficient application of analytic, search and processing technology behind an intuitive interface.

eZoom™ Data Rooms are powered by Alfresco™, the open source enterprise content management system (CMS) from Alfresco Software, Inc. In addition to the features noted above, Alfresco software is a US Department of Defense 5015.02 Certified Electronic Records Management Application.
GlobalEReview™ is a discovery review system designed to review both electronic and paper documents in either non-linear or linear review models. GlobalEReview's easy-to-use online application provides image and native file review; powerful searching; flexible tagging; custom form creation for content capture, analysis and workflows; Unicode and foreign language support, multi-party support and multiple production options on a highly scalable, enterprise-grade technology platform. Key functionality includes:
INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER SUPPORT
GlobalEReview is fully Unicode compliant, supporting processing, culling, display and production of international character sets. Some of the languages supported by GlobalEReview include:
♦ European: French, German, Italian, Russian
♦ Asian: Japanese (Kanji), Chinese (Most Dialects), Korean and Thai (CJK)
♦ Middle Eastern: Arabic (Farsi), Hebrew
UNIVERSAL IMAGE VIEWER
Review is accelerated with the Idox™ image-on-the fly viewer which displays native files in TIFF, PDF and XML formats as users move between documents. Idox allows redactions to be performed immediately on the TIFF images without the need to wait for additional conversion. Keyword hit highlighting is supported. Users can also view page thumbnails of their documents. Idox is also designed to support the coding of imaged documents, allowing for the splitting and merging of scanned paper documents.
ADVANCED SEARCH
The GlobalEReview Advanced Search function allows users to search by major categories such as Keywords, Scope, Identifier, File, Email, Abstract, Privilege. Keyword searching provides a number of flexible options including:
NON-LINEAR REVIEW
Using GlobalEReview's non-linear review model, instead of assigning tags to documents, users assign documents to tags. Sfile's tagging feature allows documents to have a one-to-many relationship with virtual tags. Tagging can be performed on a single document, groups of documents or in bulk across entire search result sets.
LINEAR REVIEW
To conduct a linear review, document sets can be assigned to individuals or teams of reviewers. Review workflow is configurable to move documents from first pass to second pass reviewers. Review forms can be quickly configured to execute a more traditional multiple-value review for a single document
TAGGING
GlobalEReview provides industry leading tagging capabilities. GlobalEReview Tags can be used for creating virtual collections or document sets or for document review. GlobalEReview's tagging feature allows documents to have a one-to-many relationship with virtual tags. Tagging can be performed on a single document, groups of documents or in bulk across entire search result sets.
There are several expanded capabilities within GlobalEReview Tags designed to aid analysis of large or complex documents for issues, parties and events. When tags are created, coding fields can be created as part of the tag in order to provide additional levels of identification or coding. Tags can be shared to specific groups or users with Add, Edit and Delete access rights. Tags can be used to manage workflow, driving files from first pass review to second pass review. An enhanced feature of the Sfile Tag function allows the user to highlight a portion of a tagged document for future reference, allowing users to quickly jump to the highlighted portion of the document.
FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION FORMATS
GlobalEReview produces in native file, TIFF and PDF formats. Produced images can be endorsed with Bates numbering and other branding text. Redacted sections of documents are removed from the extracted text within load files. If a ZIP container has responsive items, either the entire source ZIP file or only the responsive items can be produced. If required, GlobalEReview can reconstitute PST files on production with only the responsive items in their original folder locations. GlobalEReview can also on production break email messages and attachments into individual records items. GlobalEReview supports the most popular load file formats such as Concordance. GlobalEReview also produces load files in XML format, providing flexibility to support a number of other E-Discovery systems.
SECURE MULTI-PARTY, MULTI-MATTER REVIEW
GlobalEReview’s multi-party, multi-matter architecture enables corporate counsel to securely allow external entities such as law firms, expert witnesses, courts and investigating agencies to operate within their own private virtual workspace while accessing collections or eProductions. GlobalEReview provides corporations and their law firms with complete work flexibility, while maintaining a single, approved E-Discovery review platform.
