Further savings over the life of a review

Stratify’s advanced technology and web-based architecture permits an entire range of savings when compared to more traditional in-house systems.

The Stratify Legal Discovery™ service works with documents in their native (original) electronic format, thereby eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming conversion costs. Many traditional systems must convert documents to TIFF from their native formats, unnecessarily adding time and money to a project. Handling over 390 types of native file formats with full review and production capabilities, the Stratify Legal Discovery service enables clients to meet the native production requirements of the recently revised Federal Rules of Civil Procedure without additional re-conversion costs.

The Stratify Legal Discovery service is an online ASP service that eliminates the costs associated with data storage space and hosting costs. Many law firms that use in-house solutions find themselves pressed for storage space and forced to increase their IT-related capital expenses. Since the Stratify Legal Discovery service is a web-based application it requires no software installation or maintenance and is accessible anywhere at any time.

Conclusion

By assessing the Total Cost of Review (TCR) when evaluating electronic discovery matters, General Counsel and law firms can avoid the common mistake of selecting an eDiscovery vendor based on initial processing and hosting costs alone. Typically, the largest expense associated with document review and analysis is the billable time required for attorneys to find and review documents. This has led attorneys and legal professionals to rethink their approach to electronic discovery and focus more intently on maximizing their overall review rates.

The Stratify Legal Discovery service offers significantly higher review rates than both in-house and traditional ASP service tools. A number of advanced capabilities, including concept-based organization, issue-based review, near-duplicate detection, and email analytics, combine to maximize attorney review rates and help lower TCR.

As the case study illustrates, a law firm can achieve significant cost, time, and labor savings while improving the quality of its work product using the advanced capabilities of the Stratify Legal Discovery service. With average review rates of 300-500 documents per hour and sustained rates of 1,000 documents per hour, the Stratify Legal Discovery service provides the most efficient, cost-effective eDiscovery solution.
