New Solution Help Companies Reduce Litigation Costs

PSS Systems, a provider of legal information governance solutions, has launched its new Atlas Discovery Cost Forecasting module.

PSS Systems’ Atlas Discovery Cost Forecasting module, which complements the Atlas LCC Legal Information Management solution suite, is designed to help Global 1000 companies continuously forecast and control legal discovery costs by eliminating tedious data gathering and number crunching and providing instant, continuous cost forecasting across the matter portfolio. Atlas DCF continuously re-calculates anticipated costs as matter facts change so corporate counsel always understands the cost profile to keep outside counsel apprised of constraints, resolve matters sooner, and negotiate reduced production scope more routinely and effectively.

Atlas Discovery Cost Forecasting key features for corporate counsel include:

• Automatic, continuous cost forecasts for every matter in the portfolio;
• Powerful, patent-pending cost forecasting engine which dynamically projects costs;
• Graphical matter cost calculator with actual and typical costs as well as dynamic scenario analysis;
• Dashboards for monitoring discovery costs across the portfolio by fiscal period and key cost indicators; and
• Push-button reports for negotiating reduced scope of production.
