Here is a summary of the (relatively few) eDiscovery updates posted on my Google Plus page between 14 and 20 October.

Xerox adds streamlined redaction to its upgraded Omnix 5.4 discovery platform
The headline feature in the new release of the Xerox XLS discovery platform Omnix is a redactions tool which allows redactions to be applied automatically, together with reasons for the redaction, to specific terms in documents based on search results and advanced text pattern hits. The new tool also allows reverse redactions, that is, the blanking out of anything in a document which does not meet certain criteria. [More]

Going it alone: Millnet comment on Drinker Biddle’s in-house discovery function
I wrote recently about the subsidiary company set up by Chicago firm Drinker Biddle to manage the eDiscovery function for the firm’s litigation clients.

I described this reaction as a conventional market development, a way of fighting back as others encroach on your traditional territory. [More]

eDiscovery and Information Governance software company Nuix has joined forces with Geneva-based RSD to help organisations identify and tag documents and data which lie outside the formal document repositories.

The partnership involves the incorporation of the Nuix search and analysis technology into the RSD GLASS 3 platform.

Recommind: The ROI of Predictive Coding – Thursday, 18 October
This webinar discusses the cost savings and the quality improvements associated with Predictive Coding. It is obviously good to be able to assess in advance what the return will be on the investment in any technology. Two things are needed to begin – some metrics from past cases in order to see what the typical cost is, and some idea of the percentage reduction which might be achieved using the proposed technology. Given the cost of review, you do not need a very high percentage reduction to pay for the use of the technology. [More]
