Internal Investigations
   
Calculate your ROI on Equivio
   

In internal investigations, Equivio consistently finds that 30-50% of the documents and emails are near-duplicates. This generates a compelling ROI.

Equivio groups sets of near-duplicates, allowing the review of documents in a systematic, coherent manner. The product enables the efficient allocation of work across the investigation team: each set of near-duplicates can be assigned to a single attorney or team of attorneys. Moreover, Equivio saves time and money: the investigator would need only to read one of the documents in each near-duplicate set, while reviewing just the differences vis-à-vis the other documents in the set.

Equivio also improves review quality. By enabling the systematic review of near-duplicates, Equivio helps people avoid errors caused by missing vital data. Equivio allows reviewers to focus on just the relevant value-added information they need, rather than reviewing the same or very similar documents multiple times. By introducing an additional dimension of structure into an unstructured data set, Equivio helps avoid oversights that occur when reviewing randomized, unstructured data.

 
 
Equivio reduces the cost of internal investigations. By slashing the review effort related to near-duplicate files, Equivio allows accounting firms to offer a more competitive price offering to their clients. Similarly, Equivio reduces the growing cost burden of internal investigations for corporate legal departments
   
In internal investigations, it is often impossible to review all the documents in the given time window. By organizing the collection into near-duplicate sets, Equivio allows the user to read a representative document in each set. This enables prioritized review, ensuring the investigating team can cover all the key material in the collection.
   
By facilitating a more systematic review of documents, Equivio enhances the quality of the review process. The clustering of near-duplicates allows each near-duplicate set to be assigned to a specific lawyer or team for review. This allows more coherent analysis, reducing analysis errors and oversights resulting from information overload and chaos.
   
Equivio ensures consistent treatment - such as, coding of privileged or responsive documents - for near-duplicate files.
 
By improving the productivity and efficiency of the review process, Equivio allows accounting firms to take on more internal investigation business.
