IT-Discovery

“The IT-Discovery application is, quite simply, the best case assessment and review tool on the market. We use it frequently, and in head-to-head comparisons, we get through data sets six to eight times faster than with any other application. The interface is brilliantly designed and easy to use, with key information displayed on one screen. Identifying documents related to specific individuals, date ranges, topics and key words takes mere seconds. The technology behind the topic imputation feature is incredible, and for whatever reason, the cream just rises to the top. In fact, we call the application 'The Magic Pan'”.

“Scientifically, the field of social network analysis is undergoing a revolution. The old methodologies are being replaced with models that discover and integrate evidence from not just the network structure, but text, authorship and time-stamps. IT-Discovery’s technology for analysis of text and social networks is at the cutting edge of this revolution.”

“As John Seely Brown, former head of Xerox PARC has said, information has a 'social life.' The way that it flows through an organization and through society is determined by trust: by the shared friendships, common values, and lived experiences of the people who exchange it. Only part of the meaning of an email message is contained in its wording and content; its true meaning can only be understood if one understands the social context and networks of trust in which it is embedded. IT-Discovery, uniquely, discerns that social network, and uses it in the service of searching vast amounts of electronically stored information.”

“Unlike the typical Boolean search tool awaiting my input, IT-Discovery guides me to the most relevant information first by its generation of topics and organization of players. Mastery of this functionality was trivially simple due to the single page dashboard.”

“Good corporate governance requires good internal investigation, ideally to avoid regulatory or legal action, and where necessary, to respond to it. The challenge today is for the investigator to quickly uncover and organize electronic communications within an enterprise. IT-Discovery now provides a tool for doing just that. By exploiting information underlying communication networks within a company, the investigator can analyze a large corpus of electronic documents, yet minimize the number of documents he must review.”
