With all you need for litigation & investigations.
EDT is a cutting-edge legal software platform for eDiscovery, litigation and investigations.
At EDT we think eDiscovery has become over-engineered and ineffective, inflating the costs of litigation and investigations.
EDT puts a stop to that by integrating data processing, analytics, review and production on one, easy-to-use, affordable platform that can also be used to prepare for trial and present in court. Read about EDT features here.
Many international law firms, regulatory agencies, corporations and service providers use EDT as a complete end-to-end solution.
Others use EDT for processing and Early Case Analysis, exporting culled data into load files for third party review platforms.

EDT is a truly impressive “single” system -from processing to review. The single back-end database manages data end-to-end, giving the flexibility to stage things if we want to, from the Processing to the Analyst module, to validate and cull, before releasing datasets for review. It’s super easy.

EDT Software is one of the few solutions offering A to Z litigation and eDiscovery support (from data ingestion, ECA, processing, review, and analysis through production) within a single platform; and without the need to export and import, or acquire different modules to benefit from a complete solution.

In large litigation matters, early case assessment is important tool to assist in the setting of realistic objectives. This involves an assessment of all relevant facts and issues, including understanding the likely volume of documents to be discovered, reviewing critical documents and speaking to critical witnesses in order to make an early assessment of likely outcomes. A realistic estimate of the costs will ensure more informed decisions are made about both managing and/or resolving litigation.

Our New Zealand clients want discovery solutions with affordable, predictable and transparent pricing. They understand the need to do early case assessment (“ECA”) to reduce data volumes early and keep costs proportionate. We chose EDT because it not only puts the ECA process firmly in the hands of the legal team but also because the ECA features are integrated into a full featured review platform. That means no load files and we don’t need to shuffle data around from a processing & ECA platform to a separate review platform. That reduces complexity and saves our clients time and money.

EDT is a powerful ECA platform for Relativity. It gives deep insight into the collected data and enables litigators to make informed culling decisions at the very beginning of the case. They can see the impact of their proposed keywords, date, document type and other filters before they are applied by showing the numbers of responsive documents and enabling them to drill down into the content of those documents. They can iterate through alternative filters many times over until they settle on those they wish to apply. This really puts ECA in the hands of the legal team. It delivers enormous savings because intelligent culling and prioritization takes place prior to the creation of the Relativity load files and that, in turn, means lower processing and data hosting costs, not to mention enormous reductions in review time and cost.

Our firm has used EDT for a number of years and we have gradually used the platform more and more across the full life cycle of investigation and litigation projects. In my view it’s an excellent value proposition given its full feature set and the easy, transparent pricing model that allows multiple users and processing machines without any additional charge.

The defining moment was when the lawyers realized we didn’t need to incur the cost of processing to create a load file prior to the review. The efficiencies were enormous.

EDT is a full featured platform. It combines indexing/ingestion speed, and its multi-server setup allows a lot of flexibility as you can have multiple concurrent processes running – ingestion, review and exporting. While we initially proposed to use it for processing and ECA platform but we’ve been pleasantly surprised to see our lawyers also embrace the EDT review functionality. They found it really easy to use.

We chose EDT's software because it is a single, full-featured and affordable product.

EDT is a game changer. It offers early data culling capabilities that dramatically reduce costs and the insight it provides into the facts at an early stage in the case positions our firm to help settle cases earlier and with great outcomes.
“
Our innovative approach to discovery review is perfectly aligned with EDT’s flexible architecture. Our emphasis on iterative analysis throughout the discovery review is supported by EDT’s workflows and functionality. By implementing best practices, the efficiencies are considerable. It is a breath of fresh air to work with a software provider that thinks differently and fully supports ground breaking processes.

Our lawyers loved the control and insight into the data they obtained during the early analysis phase. They were able to cull enormous volumes with confidence.
