EDT’s data processing has all the indexing, OCR and de-duplication functionality you expect from a high-end solution. Its early case assessment tools are also very effective at digging beneath the surface of who, what, when, where and why, to shed light on connections that aren’t immediately obvious. That greatly assists culling decisions.

EDT is a powerful ECA platform providing deep insight into the collected data enabling litigators to make informed culling decisions at the beginning of the case. They can see the effectiveness of proposed keywords, date, document type and other culling options before they are applied and can drill down to take a quick peek into the content of documents. They can iterate through alternative filters many times over until they settle on those they wish to apply. This puts ECA in the hands of the legal team and delivers enormous savings through intelligent culling and prioritization prior to review. That means lower processing and data hosting costs, and enormous reductions in review time and cost.

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.

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.

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.
