The Bastardization of Early Case Assessment and Emergence of Rapid Investigative Review

Washington, DC – June 17, 2010 — Nuix, a leading provider of corporate investigation and electronic discovery (eDiscovery) software, today released a white paper entitled, ‘The Bastardization of Early Case Assessment (ECA) and the Emergence of Rapid Investigative Review’.  

In the past, attorneys had to sift through folders and files to get a sense of a case.  Today, the ECA process is often reduced to gathering information about evidence (file types, quantities, sizes and location), rather than analyzing content to produce insight into key facts, players, relationships and communications.  

“Surprisingly, advanced eDiscovery solutions have been slow to tactically change attorney methods for approaching ECA,” said Stephen Stewart, Nuix’s CTO.  “Rather, many attorneys review statistics, cost containment strategies and generic search results instead of ‘digging’ into the facts of the case.”

Rapid Investigative Review is a shift towards using technology and analytical techniques that enables legal teams to quickly establish the merits of a case and gather insight into the who, what, when, where, why and how of the matter.  Modern eDiscovery technology can simplify evidence collection, and review  and better equip legal teams to form faster, more accurate conclusions.  Importantly, in a world of near-limitless information, legal teams are now capable of automatically removing mountains of irrelevant data.

“The Rapid Investigative Review process is a direct and linear approach that offers legal analysts leverage to secure a quick understanding of case details early in the litigation process,” commented Eddie Sheehy, Nuix’s CEO.  “Organizations that conduct Rapid Investigative Review using advanced technology will not only find answers to case-oriented questions, but will develop a deeper understanding of a client’s most vital business concerns.”

Nuix’s accelerated eDiscovery technology enables legal counsel to rapidly understand and review the electronic evidence in each matter rather than simply generating figures about potential discovery problems.  Find out more about the Rapid Investigative Review process by reading the white paper, available at www.nuix.com/eDiscovery.asp?active_page_id=289

Nuix offers the world’s most advanced eDiscovery solution, which operates at speeds twenty times faster on average than its competitors, while utilizing a much smaller hardware footprint.  This has benefits including reducing the energy, man hours and processing power necessary to investigate and review data.  It also has the broadest language and file-type compatibility of any eDiscovery software on the market.
