Daegis, a provider of eDiscovery solutions, announced the release of Cross-Matter Management, a new methodology designed to streamline the eDiscovery lifecycle by proactively managing electronically stored information (ESI) and attorney work product across multiple matters.
Achieved through new technology added to the Daegis eDiscovery Platform, Cross-Matter Management can save corporate and law firm clients an average of 30 percent or more across the eDiscovery lifecycle.
Within the Daegis eDiscovery Platform is the Master Repository that serves as a central location for storing data that has been collected, processed and produced. The Daegis eDiscovery Platform manages ESI by retaining the high-value data and attorney work product within a single master repository. Data does not have to be re-collected or re-processed from one matter to the next and previous review decisions can be leveraged to reduce document review sets, thereby driving down costs.
For many organizations, legal matters tend to overlap considerably in terms of key custodians, date ranges and legal issues. Cross-Matter Management eliminates those redundancies through the reuse and repurposing of data driving cost and time savings and risk reduction for both legal and IT. The Master Repository's bi-lateral connection with the document review environment preserves attorney work product by saving privilege and relevancy determinations and other production history. This intellectual capital is readily accessed and can be leveraged in subsequent related matters resulting in significant document review cost savings.
