FileControl extends its Cloud Computing Model with Content Analyst partnership

Houston, TX and Reston, VA (T.B.D.) – FileControl, an eDiscovery Solutions leader and Content Analyst, a leader in advanced data analytics, announced a partnership that integrates Content Analyst’s CAAT conceptual search platform and document analytics into FileControl’s eReview and Attorney Workflow eDiscovery platform.

As President and CEO of FileControl, Ahmad Mian recalled, "at LegalTech New York and around the country, we have had requests from our clients, including Fortune 500 General Counsel and AM Law 100 law firms, for solutions to cut the costs of document review and analysis. Their ultimate goal is to have a predictable budget for litigation management and to utilize strategies for successful litigation preparedness; electronic data management leading to more specific, targeted data collection. The strategies and solutions offered by FileControl ultimately reduce costs associated with the litigation process. This successful data management approach lowers the probabilities of the high cost of law firm and corporate sanctions, currently a very common occurrence. The partnership with Content Analyst and its integration with FileControl’s eReview platform to allow a review team to simply, easily, and visually map the analytic results to the Attorney workflow fully accomplish those objectives."

Content Analyst’s CAAT Conceptual search platform preserves entire Contextual relationships, within email and other documents, learns "alias" information, and groups like-documents using auditable, industry “best practices” conceptual linguistic and mathematical technology. "Black Box" technology solutions in the current marketplace will not pass legal scrutiny by the judiciary as shown by recent case law with resulting large monetary sanctions against law firms and their corporate clients. The CAAT solution utilizes conceptual search technology leveraging the human knowledge of document reviewers familiar with the litigation matter, evidentiary requirements and key concepts requiring less time to review data, resulting in over 65% savings in the document review process.

FileControl’s application quickly gets relevant documents to key review team members by Concept or in combination with Custodian, Folder, Search Term, Property, or Tag. The Workflow can be easily and visually set to move those documents to the next reviewer level based on relevancy coding and priorities. Options allow for multiple, concurrent workflows, quality assurance thresholds and even allow reviewers to serve multiple roles, with "check in" and "check out" assignments.

"FileControl has a long history of innovations. We are delighted that they have chosen CAAT to enhance their eReview platform in response to their customers’ requirements for more powerful litigation support tools," said Kurt Michel, president and CEO of Content Analyst Company. "CAAT has been shown time and time again to find responsive documents sooner, at a lower cost, and with greater precision than other tools."

FileControl’s eReview platform offers predictable costs for organizing, reviewing, filtering and extracting necessary information from a huge amount of case evidence. Unlike conventional document management solutions, files are no longer required to be converted to TIFF, PDF and other formats, before they can be reviewed. Attorneys can review files in their native formats and then convert them into images on-the-fly on as “as needed” basis for permanent storage. The inclusion of CAAT document analytics now provides these reviewers with conceptual-based search and organization tools within the eReview platform.
