Analytics & Attorney Review Workflow

FileControl uses advanced document categorization and semantic analytical techniques. These advanced features enable document review teams to quickly access, analyze, and organize, document sets and define attorney review workflow based on concept search results.

Concept search capability preserves contextual relationships and provides dynamic categorization that sorts and ranks data according to concepts. The concept search engine retrieves relevant documents based on a contextual understanding of documents, producing more accurate search results with fewer false positives and inclusive of context relevant hits.
• Searches learn by “alias” information to overcome obfuscation and use multi-lingual and cross-lingual text analysis to identify relevant documents.
• The new workflow features provide the review team with greater flexibility and control over multi-pass document review. Workflows organize documents and reviewers into high performance, and coherent process that enable review managers with progress monitoring and reports.
• Review management assigns documents to reviewers by custodian, search term, or concepts. Document sets flow between review stages based on relevancy coding and priority.
• Quality assurance of the review process is provided by random sampling of reviewed documents and document control is enhanced by “check in/out” of documents assigned to reviewers.
• Review management and review workflow is facilitated by on demand reporting.

Discovery Products and Services

FileControl designed and developed a highly secure review environment to host a post-production database for a national multi-district, anti-trust litigation, supporting eight terabytes of data, seventeen law firms, and over three hundred users.

On behalf of a global leader in the upstream energy industry, FileCotnrol consulted with in-house counsel and multiple firms hired as outside counsel to develop a strategic approach for reviewing documents relevant to multiple matters. The approach taken designed the review process in such a way as to take advantage of work performed on one matter so that it could be reused on multiple matters. This resulted in reduced costs and promoted efficiency.
