News < Back Sarbanes Oxley : Technology : Content Management Transform Legal Discovery Into Repeatable Business Process New Corporate and Law Firm Editions Offer Multi-Case Capability, Enterprise-Class Scalability, and Ability To Connect To Corporate Eco-System
CaseCentral?s Corporate Edition and Law Firm Edition are designed to better manage the accelerating volume of shareholder and product liability class-action suits, Sarbanes-Oxley related litigation, and government regulatory investigations. To combat these legal challenges, CaseCentral?s solutions allow legal teams managing the most complex and most difficult legal matters to move beyond traditional one-off solutions and utilize multi-case functionality to create more effective discovery management. ?Working closely with our customers, CaseCentral has engineered a new generation of solutions to meet the escalating legal burden facing corporate America today,? said CaseCentral CEO Chris Kruse. ?The multi-case capability in CaseCentral?s Corporate Edition and Law Firm Edition solve that growing legal problem by turning discovery into a repeatable business process that delivers greater efficiencies, better expense control through lower review and administration costs, and reduced risk of inadvertent disclosure.? CaseCentral?s solutions address the accelerating legal problem faced by the Fortune 1000. According to the Fulbright & Jaworski 2006 Litigation Trends Survey, the number of large companies reporting 50 or more lawsuits doubled from 11 percent in 2005 to 23 percent on 2006. Sixty-two percent of these large companies (those with more than $1 billion in revenue) reported at least one litigation of more than $20 million. Twenty-five percent of all US firms responding to the survey reported using more than 20 outside counsel, with 48 percent using more than 6 outside counsel. Only 20 percent feel their litigation budgets from outside counsel were ?frequently or always accurate and reliable.? Scalable Infrastructure Supports Expanding Volume of Data CaseCentral?s new offerings are based on a completely new enterprise-class system architecture that delivers superior performance, massive scalability and breakthrough functionality. New multi-case functionality enables legal teams to leverage prior document collections and reviews on related cases, eliminate duplicative reviews and minimize the inadvertent disclosure of privileged documents. The Corporate Edition and Law Firm Edition also break new ground by connecting to existing enterprise e-mail archive, messaging, and document management systems. The high-performance web services data connectors built into the platform enable corporations and their outside counsel to efficiently load data from existing IT systems, reducing costly, time-consuming and error-prone document conversion processes. Both the Corporate Edition and Law Firm Edition are supported by enterprise-class infrastructure and are based on systems by CaseCentral?s strategic technology partners, including Oracle, EMC, and Cisco Systems. The infrastructure was designed to scale to multi-terabyte-size cases and accommodate increased data storage requirements imposed by changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect on December 1, 2006. The Corporate Edition is optimized for the requirements of corporate legal departments and provides the functionality, supporting services and pricing options needed to manage complex discovery within a corporate environment. The Law Firm Edition (www.casecentral.com/lawfirmedition.html) is designed for larger national and international law firms, and provides functionality, supporting services and pricing options tailored specifically for law firms. Both Editions are available in Single Matter and Multi Matter versions. The Single Matter version provides an efficient, standardized and repeatable process for controlling costs and risks in large, complex discovery. The Multi Matter version combines process efficiencies with document re-use capabilities to control costs and risks across all discovery activities for the corporation or law firm. Users who purchase the Single Matter version can also upgrade to the Multi Matter version at any time. Improved Security, Control, Reporting Both Editions offer unparalleled security that feature 128-bit SSL encryption, firewalls deployed at all network access points, and token IDs for added security. Documents are segregated by case, and granular security controls allow site administrators to specify access at the database, folder, document, and field levels, as well as by user or user groups, such as attorneys, expert witnesses, litigation support, or co-counsel. Privileged document tracking automatically creates audit trails and provides visibility about who reviewed a document, when it was reviewed, their designations and their comments. Powerful search capabilities improve reviewer productivity and provide an audit trail in the event that review and production decisions are challenged. Comprehensive reporting allows users to compare review decisions in one case with decisions in prior cases, eliminating inadvertent production and reducing risk. ?CaseCentral?s Corporate Edition and Law Firm Edition are the solutions that the industry has been waiting for because they create order out of the traditional chaos of discovery lifecycle management,? Kruse said. ?Both are enterprise-class solutions that improve profitability and risk management, and represent a quantum leap forward in how corporations and law firms can optimize discovery management.? CaseCentral delivers on-demand discovery lifecycle management platforms to corporations and law firms. CaseCentral?s software is backed by responsive, litigation-savvy strategic consulting, process, and support services. CaseCentral empowers customers to support a repeatable business process for litigation and regulatory response?reducing risk and business disruption, boosting productivity, and controlling costs.
