How one ‘big data’ tool is transforming the e-discovery process

This is an article by Heather Clancy posted on the smartplanet.com website.

This article discusses the use of kCura's hosted review platform, and the data analytics services that can be used via that service.

The article states, "kCura’s Relativity is a well-known application among the legal community for considered heaps of structured and unstructured data that might be required for lawsuits or investigations. Structured data would be something such as records in a database or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Unstructured data takes the form of documents or even communication such as instant messages.

“Both types are subject to the same rules and procedures, but it is increasingly difficult for corporations to monitor this,” said Jay Leib, chief strategy officer for kCura.

Relativity helps automate the search and review for documents and information that might be “responsive” to information requests — it also helps identify data that isn’t relevant and that might complicate matters. kCura pitches two primary benefits: the software’s ability to help save time and the application’s ability to help human investigators focus the bulk of their attention on reviewing the information that is really relevant, Leib said."
