Atlanta, GA (June 19, 2007) – eMag Solutions, a leading international electronic discovery company, today announced the release of the second generation of its new eMag PreVu service suite. eMag PreVu provides a real time, structured view into otherwise unstructured raw data, allowing users to better understand the scope of case information before and after Meet-and-Confer sessions. This data is sortable and searchable by a variety of fields, including subject matter, keywords, content, context, custodian, metadata, and others. As a result, client users can view their data from numerous perspectives, make early strategic decisions and save time and cost by excluding non-relevant raw data prior to E-Discovery processing.
Until now, attorneys and general counsel have had to go through a series of disparate steps, often involving multiple vendors, to prepare data for electronic discovery review. From media restoration, to electronic discovery processing (de-duplication, culling, keyword search, date filtering), to the onset of document review, the process is costly and time consuming. Additionally, the updated Federal Rules have shortened the time frame from the filing of a lawsuit the initial Meet & Confer session where opposing sides sit down to discuss materials, processes, and schedules for discovery. With only 99 days until the first meeting between counsel for plaintiff and defendant, the fragmented nature of the electronic discovery process compounds the difficulty legal teams face in sorting through massive amounts of data and developing strategies prior to sitting down with opposing counsel.
eMag PreVu allows the legal team to strategize and prepare for the Meet and Confer session. The application allows users a real time view of data structures and files in their raw native format prior to expensive discovery processing; this in turn enables early strategic planning prior to sitting down with opposing counsel. The PreVu user is also able to flag (include or exclude) at the tape, hard drive, directory, folder and individual file level to expedite culling. PreVu also allows users to more fully understand the breadth of data they are facing at earlier stages of activity, helping to determine the merits and weaknesses of the case and prepare the strategy accordingly. This effectively shortens the learning curve in civil litigation, regulatory responses, and compliance matters.
In addition eMag PreVu provides the ability to search and sort by server, custodian, directory, file type or date created/modified/accessed as well as perform advanced searches, including: subject matter, keywords, content, context, custodian, metadata, as well as fuzzy and wildcard searches. Users can save searches and their results performed using eMag PreVu and even create reports based on the search and sorting criteria they determine. In short, eMag PreVu allows corporations and law firms to sort, search, and cull raw data in almost any conceivable manner, providing a host of information enabling them to make early strategic decisions in a more timely and effective manner.
“Today’s complex legal environment dictates that organizations must have a complete understanding of their data environments at the beginning of the discovery process,” said Brendan Sullivan, president of eMag Solutions. “eMag PreVu extends our award-winning technology platform and enables companies and law firms to establish a clear foundation for the legal process. The net result is that users are now able to better understand their data earlier in discovery and make more informed decisions prior to processing their data in the traditional E-Discovery manner.”
