The World of eDiscovery: Top 5
E-Discovery has grown quite a bit since my days of working with and for Ipro Corp. I decided to take an internet journey and see what the industry is offering the litigation community now, what companies have grown, which have emerged as leaders, and also see which ones have fallen behind.
E-Discovery refers to discovery in civil litigation which deals with information in electronic format also referred to as Electronically Stored Information (ESI). Electronic information is different from paper information because of its intangible form, volume, transience and persistence. Also, electronic information is usually accompanied by metadata, which is not present in paper documents. -WikiPedia
Papervacuum’s list of the top 5 e-discovery companies:
Rated as a “Strong Positive” (highest possible rating given) in Gartner’s 2008 E-Discovery MarketScope Report and voted a Top 5 E-Discovery Software Provider by the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann survey, the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform is the first enterprise-class e-discovery solution that manages all legal matters, regulatory inquiries, and corporate investigations in a single application.
One of the nice features coming from Clearwater is their comprehensive Pre-Processing Analytics. It is a dash board like summary of overall document set characteristics. It presents detailed analysis by custodian, timeline, and file type. This rapidly confirms all case data has been collected and allows for accurate estimation of e-discovery budgets and timelines.

Kazeon’s award winning eDiscovery software offers a unique solution for eDiscovery and litigation support. It is the first enterprise-grade platform to offer a full breadth of capabilities for Early Case Assessments, Legal Hold Management, Analysis & Review, and Collection & Culling. Its integrated workflow within a single application at the lowest cost makes Kazeon’s software attractive to mid-sizes firms and service centers. Identifying over four hundred document formats, Kazeon indexes and tags the massive amounts of content distributed across the enterprise into actionable taxonomies.
With the volume of electronically stored information (ESI) growing exponentially, a critical challenge after collection is understanding what types of ESI one actually has, which information is relevant or not and how to find correlation between disparate informational data sets and email threads. The solution is robust analytical capabilities, KazAnalytics. Video below:

StoredIQ solutions align with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), accepted by more than 66 service and software providers (including StoredIQ), 33 law firms, three industry groups and eight corporations involved with eDiscovery. Gartner Group uses the EDRM model as its framework to analyze products and services in the electronic discovery market.
StoredIQ’s capabilities cover six of the EDRM service categories, ensuring a comprehensive, efficient approach to eDiscovery.
The StoredIQ Intelligent Information Management Platform is an enterprise-class, software-based appliance designed to manage the functional intersection of eDiscovery, Records Management, Storage Management, and Governance, Risk and Compliance.

IPRO eCapture is powerful, innovative e-discovery software designed to handle large projects with speed and scalability. Designed around a distributed, multi-threaded model, eCapture handles virtually any size e-discovery job by simply adding workstations. When a workstation is added, it automatically receives tasks from the IPRO Controller/Queue Manager and begins the discovery process without operator intervention.
Because all discovered data is indexed and hashed, more processing jobs can be run on the same data set without the risk of rediscovery. IPRO eCapture has a full-featured quality-control function and powerful export options. It also has the ability to search, filter, and cull the data before beginning the process of extracting the metadata, creating the searchable text files, de-duplicating the files, and printing the images.
IPRO eCapture has a typical client/server architecture, in which the controller distributes the work to the cluster of fully automated workstations. With no user interaction, workstations automatically pick up work from the centralized console as needed, making eCapture a highly scalable solution in which you just add more workstations and point them to the controller to increase daily throughput. IPRO eCapture can support enough workstations to convert 75 to 100 GB/day of electronic files to images.
IBM helps companies take the cost out of ediscovery or electronic discovery. IBM ediscovery provides a practical yet strategic in-house approach with highly scalable early case assessment capabilities. It brings ediscovery agility, insight and intelligence to a higher level. Responding to eDiscovery matters today while building the foundation towards more proactive information governance control becomes more practical with IBM.
Leverage the IBM ECM platform for compliant information management including IBM Content Collector for proactive policy-based and on demand collection. With IBM eDiscovery, you can:
* Identify, search, cull, hold, or export electronically stored information in responding to a litigation, audit, investigation, or information inquiry today
* Assess cases early, understand key facts, visualize key pieces of evidence and form case strategies before entering into costly review cycles
* Practically deal with today’s ediscovery challenges and strategically maneuver towards proactively governing electronically stored information (ESI)
