CaseCentral Leverages Advanced Equivio Technology to Further Improve Efficiency, Lower Costs and Eliminate Risk for Corporations and Law Firms

eDiscovery Leader CaseCentral Embeds World-Class Near-Duplicate Detection Technology from Equivio in its Discovery Lifecycle Management Platforms, Resulting in Industry-Leading Protection from Inadvertent Disclosure

SAN FRANCISCO - March 27, 2007 - CaseCentral, the leader in on-demand discovery lifecycle management platforms for corporations and major law firms, today announced that it has embedded powerful near-duplicate detection technology from Equivio in its eDiscovery platforms for corporations and law firms.  The addition of this technology furthers CaseCentral’s leadership in transforming legal discovery into a repeatable business process that improves discovery management, lowers risk and significantly reduces costs.

“CaseCentral has eliminated the traditional chaos, burden and risks of electronic discovery.  Our lifecycle approach moves beyond traditional one-off solutions and utilizes multi-case functionality to create more effective discovery management.  Adding Equivio’s near-duplicate detection technology is a natural progression in our drive to provide the best and most advanced solutions available to corporations and law firms,” explained Chris Kruse, CEO of CaseCentral.  CaseCentral clients include many of the FORTUNE 1000 and over 80 of the nation’s 100 largest law firms.

CaseCentral’s Discovery Lifecycle Management approach, and its ability to provide consistency reviews across multiple cases, delivers an industry-leading level of protection from inadvertent disclosure.  “Beyond the benefits of improving efficiency and driving down review costs, we dramatically reduce the risk of inadvertent disclosure in ways that other companies can’t.  For example, CaseCentral Law Firm and Corporate Editions will automatically warn users before producing a document when the same or similar documents have been withheld in other cases,” explained Kruse.   

Leveraging the Equivio technology, CaseCentral solutions group near-duplicate documents and present them in an easy to use interface, enabling the review of each set of similar documents as a single coherent entity, systemizing the review process and enhancing efficiency. These capabilities save time and effort, improve review quality and ensure consistent treatment of similar documents. Near-duplicates are especially common in e-mail, contract templates and forms, such as NDAs and travel documents.

"As a leader in electronic discovery solutions for over 12 years, CaseCentral has been at the forefront of every major improvement the industry has seen.  We are proud to be working with CaseCentral to integrate our patent-pending technology with its eDiscovery platforms," said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. "We are confident that CaseCentral’s customers will see immediate results, both in cost savings and enhanced consistency in the treatment of documents."

CaseCentral Corporate Edition and CaseCentral Law Firm Edition help corporations and law firms better manage the accelerating volume of shareholder and product liability class-action suits, Sarbanes-Oxley related litigation, and government regulatory investigations. Additionally, CaseCentral solutions enable organizations to meet sweeping changes in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (FRCP) that took effect on December 1, 2006.
