LITIGATION SUPPORT

 

Edmond Scientific’s ability to process electronic data quickly and accurately includes being able to process various types of input that routinely stump other electronic evidence vendors. We process in over 50 languages, either displaying them or searching them natively; as well as processing over 200 different file types.

"" Edmond Scientific's Software

A significant and defining difference of Edmond Scientific is our investment in and dedication to building and deploying a new generation of electronic discovery tools. Our tools incorporate the latest in application development and database technology, as well as electronic discovery workflow methodologies that are derived from the industry’s best practices. All of our software is Web 2.0 .NET, SQL Server based, enabling us to provide an industrial strength, scalable software solution to our customers.

EZACCESS
At the heart of Edmond Scientific‘s e-discovery process is our proprietary software system, EZACCESS. EZACCESS processes raw input electronic data and performs de-duping, indexing, searching and, if needed tiffing and generation of load files in the format required for each unique project. EZACCESS enables us to process substantial amounts of data while maintaining quality and accuracy. EZACCESS also has substantial foreign language processing capabilities and management report capabilities.

NatiVIEW
NatiVIEW is our native file hosting tool. Why NatiVIEW? Experts in the e-discovery field have referred to Native file Format review and production as the "holy grail" of electronic evidence. Electronically Stored Information (ESI), is most efficiently and effectively reviewed and produced in its native file format. It is much more efficient to process, review and produce documents in native file formats, substantially reducing the escalating price of electronic discovery.

NatiVIEW is an industrial strength, web hosted native file format review tool. It is intuitive, easy to use and enables reviewers to access large document collections and to search and tag documents in their native file format. Natiview allows Edmond Scientific ‘s 's clients to do "extreme discovery" in 50 languages.

"" What is NatiVIEW?

NatiVIEWTM is a SQL based .NET software application seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Windows that enables users to log on and review documents hosted by Edmond Scientific anywhere in the world 24/7 via the Internet. NatiVIEW is a secure, user friendly and powerful document review and annotation tool that allows a reviewer to quickly view document sets in their native format,. while able to tag and post comments. The system comes with powerful tools developed to support best practices in document review.

Features include: Rules-based and parent/child/sibling tagging, group tagging, fully sizable and collapsible windows that enable a reviewer to see multiple views of a document natively, its metadata and its tags and comments. NatiVIEW comes with powerful search capabilities that return query results online. NatiVIEW handles foreign language format documents, including searching them and displaying them in their original language (50 languages supported). NatiVIEW allows for one-click translation of documents as well. Language translations are stored as comments and can be viewed side by side with the original.

Security:  NatiVIEW's administrative console gives a system administrator a powerful tool for controlling user rights and permission for all system functions down to the folder level, enabling the implementation of workflow for large reviews as well as providing security when a dataset is viewed by multiple parties. NatiVIEW provides detail audit and activities reports enabling users and managers to track progress and manage activities.

Host Security, Availability and Speed: Edmond Scientific 's host environment is a highly secure, state of the art facility that dedicates 50 terabyte of a high availability, massive bandwidth, failover server network and a 24/7 customer support operation to NatiVIEW. Edmond Scientific is able to index and upload native file formats much faster than quasi-paper based formats, which means that attorneys can start review almost immediately.

"" Why Go Native?

Experts in the e-discovery field have referred to native file format review and production as the "holy grail" of electronic evidence. The reason is simple: Electronically Stored Information (ESI), particularly information that is born electronic, is most efficiently and effectively reviewed and produced in its native file format. What is even more important is that it is much more cost effective to process, review and produce documents in native file formats and it is the best way to substantially reduce the escalating price of electronic discovery.

Native Review is faster and more efficient than TIFF review. Native file formats take up less space than images and are easier to work with.

Native Review is also less expensive than TIFF review. Since less processing is performed, the cost of processing native documents and reviewing them in NatiVIEW is cheaper than production and review of images. Language Display and Translation is easier and more accurate. Machine translation experts uniformly agree that there is a higher degree of accuracy using native file format as input rather than an image. Language display and translation is more accurate since there is no intermediary step of creating an image first.

You may be ordered to produce natively even if you don't want to. The most important fact to consider is that, under the new rules of evidence, you may NOT have a choice and must provide native file format documents to an adversary.

"" Web Hosting, Why Use Web Hosting Instead of Internally Hosting Data?
More and more of our clients are realizing that their investment in software, personnel and computer resources to enable the hosting of large cases internally has resulted in the care and feeding of large-scale server farms and diverts case managers and litigation support personnel from other key activities.

Edmond Scientific is a trusted partner for hosting data for review. Our service frees up computer processing resources and internal staff resources while typically providing clients with more modern and technologically advanced support for review and production of EDD.
