What's New in CaseLogistix?

What's New in 5.2.1

The latest version of CaseLogistix adds functionality that bolsters the software's ability to streamline and accelerate litigation review processes. More importantly, the latest capabilities complement and extend the solution's innovative docNative Paradigm approach to eDiscovery.

The traditional method for managing legal discovery review that has long been employed by law firms and corporate counsel departments involves the meticulous and laborious page-by-page Bates stamping of documents and subsequent conversion of them into electronic images such as TIFFs for computer-based processing. Electronic files may also be converted to TIFF images and numbered with metadata during processing. This method, however, merely mimics a paper-based document workflow and is slow, labor-intensive, expensive and introduces risks in dealing with attachments and the original metadata associated with them.

CaseLogistix docNative Paradigm approach not only addresses reviewing single and multi-page document images, but focuses on the actual document in its original, unaltered native format (e.g. email, Web/XML, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even voice and video) or near-native format (e.g. PDF and HTML). The method assigns a unique identifier to each document as opposed to pages regardless of length, and enables conceptual search tools to scan and read each one, determining its value and relevancy to the case. By managing documents in their native or near-native formats, the TIFFing conversion step can be skipped until the end of the discovery process, and only then as needed to format documents that are relevant and required for production.

By empowering users to work with over 150 file types without requiring the creation of TIFF images on the front end of the discovery process, users can greatly accelerate review, cut processing costs in half and reduce associated risks. In addition and perhaps more importantly this native file review method also supports compliance with new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) around electronically stored information (ESI).
           
Anacomps docNative Paradigm is the approach the litigation realm is rapidly heading towards and a central aspect of the ongoing evolution of litigation support tools. Law firms and corporate litigation departments that are still processing with antiquated methodologies will not only quickly fall behind and not be able to compete with those who are working within a native document-centric approach, they may face production issues under the FRCP.

While eDiscovery is quickly moving towards a native document-centric review approach, there remains a need in the current market to support a hybrid review of native files and legacy TIFF images incorporating Bates numbers. The new enhancements in the latest version, 5.2.1, of CaseLogistix not only reinforce its abilities around the docNative Paradigm but also extend the solutions ability to work across all documents including TIFFs and non-native, or current file types to accelerate eDiscovery processing and review. Additional new features include:

  • Review enhancements including the combined native/image tab within the document viewer and easily accessible parent/child document information
  • Upgraded production and print abilities, such as editing font settings for endorsements, managing redacted documents and printing attached documents with the relevant parent documents
  • Improved auditing and performance tracking
  • Direct native file ingestion
  • New certifications including Citrix Presentation Server v4.5 and Windows XP SP2 running against Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 databases
The improvements weve made to this latest version of CaseLogistix were a direct result of the requests we received from our customers who desired to expand their use of CaseLogistix to support native, TIFF and non-native formats. These new features fortify and extend the docNative Paradigm and make the solution stronger, faster and more flexible.  The benefits of the docNative Paradigm extend beyond law firms to corporate counsel departments, who can utilize CaseLogistix to conduct first-pass review themselves, reaping significant cost savings from having to do so by sending documents to outside counsel.
