Over the past 10 years, there has been a proliferation of near-duplicate documents in enterprise environments. In live implementations, Equivio generally finds that 30-50% of all documents and emails are near-duplicates.

The proliferation of near-duplicates impacts key business processes. This is a problem of process efficiency, rather than data storage costs. Disk space cost does not drive the business case because storage is now very inexpensive. In any case, in most business processes, near-duplicates are not deleted.
So what is the value proposition?
The answer to this question is straightforward: Equivio's ability to group documents into sets of near-duplicate makes information much more compact and manageable. The near-duplicate sets make it much easier and quicker to find and review documents you are interested in. Given the explosion of document volumes, and the increasing costs of review, Equivio's near-duplicate detection technology is compelling in all human-centric, content-intensive situations where people need to make sense of large repositories of documents.
