Verve e-discovery software as a service enables users to upload data, select processing criteria, conduct early data assessment and review, and manage production in a Web-based interface.
Legal
data management software provider Kroll Ontrack,
which
first went prime-time with a cloud-based e-discovery service a year ago,
came out Nov. 2 with an updated version that gives enterprise legal teams
more control over processes that are often very tedious.
Kroll's
new
Verve
e-discovery software as a service (SaaS) enables users to upload data,
select processing criteria, conduct early data assessment and review, and
manage production in a Web-based interface.
The
service gives corporations and law firms more control of e-discovery projects
without requiring upfront purchase or maintenance of infrastructure, hardware
or security, as is the case with conventional e-discovery software packages.
The
Verve service is available on-demand for any size case, Kroll Ontrack Vice
President of SaaS Products Ken Ewell said. A project can be created in minutes
by uploading data to Kroll's secure tier III data centers, he said.
Kroll Capable of Processing 800GB Per Day
"With
access to the most scalable e-discovery technology in the industry-capable of
processing an average of 800GB of electronic data per day with a single-day
high of over 2TB-users have the ability to identify custodians, determine
filtering options and select output within an intuitive interface," Ewell
said.
"Users
can conduct EDA to winnow a data set by 85 percent or more and sort data using
the following tools: visual analytics, email threading, topic grouping, concept
searching, near duplicate detection and near duplicate document
comparison."
Once
users are ready for review, they can control the movement of data into the
Verve review platform, which is based Kroll Ontrack Inview. Within the review
platform, users can leverage industry-leading Intelligent Review Technology,
which automates aspects of the document review process to increase review quality
and efficiency.
Verve's
subscription pricing model provides predictable monthly discovery spending or
an on-demand pricing model for project-by-project application.
