London, UK, December 2009 – Hobs Legal Docs Limited (Hobs), a UK-based provider of technology and reprographic services for the legal industry, has announced that it is using Equivio's technology for near-duplicate documents and email threads as an enhanced feature of its Electronic Disclosure/Discovery services.
"To meet the litigation support challenges related to processing massive volumes of electronic documents, Hobs is committed to providing clients with technology-driven solutions that improve efficiency and reduce costs," said Philip Demetriou, Director of Hobs Legal Docs. "Equivio's best-of-breed technology for near-duplicate detection and email thread analysis enables us to streamline the electronic disclosure and document review process, so that litigators can quickly hone in on the critical data they need to win cases."
The grouping of near-duplicates and email threads allows lawyers to skip redundant data, while focusing exclusively on the unique information in each document. By enhancing the findability of data, Equivio reduces the risk of missing key information. The Equivio groupings also ensure similar documents are treated consistently, while enhancing review productivity and helping litigators meet tight deadlines.
Philip Demetriou continued, “Our partnership with Equivio places Hobs on the cutting edge of technology innovation in the electronic discovery arena. Equivio has recently released Equivio>Relevance, a game-changing technology which is used to organise document collections by relevance. Our testing of Equivio>Relevance has shown us how this product can revolutionise industry models for early case assessment, electronic discovery and litigation review.”
"As a prominent player in the UK's growing legal technology market, Hobs understands the need for technologies that reduce the cost and complexity of litigation review," said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. "The adoption of Equivio’s proven solution for near-duplicates and email threads gives Hobs' customers the edge they need to compete effectively."
