Orange Legal Technologies Releases OneO Discovery Platform for Accelerated E-Discovery Analysis, Processing, and Review

New Integrated, Web-Accessible Platform Reduces Workloads, Processing Costs, and Time Required for E-Discovery

Pub. 6.24.08 by vendor

Orange Legal Technologies, a provider of one source litigation, audit, and investigation support services for law firms and corporations seeking insight on electronically stored information, today announced the release of its new OneO Discovery Platform for accelerated e-discovery analysis, processing, and review.

Delivered under a Software as a Service (SaaS) model that requires no incremental hardware, software, or support investment, the fully integrated OneO service allows users to gain control of the e-discovery process by providing a forensically sound platform for defensibly decreasing data set sizes on the front end of the e-discovery process and streamlining first and second pass reviews through the provision of integrated workflow and collaboration during review.

“As the amount of data continues to grow, the need for fast, accurate, and affordable electronic discovery services is becoming greater than ever,” stated George Socha, co-founder of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and president of Socha Consulting LLC. “One way to balance the need for accuracy and speed in light of ever increasing data set size is to make extensive use of culling and filtering technologies at the front end of the discovery process. Effective use of this approach can dramatically decrease the size of data sets that must be reviewed – thus reducing review costs.”

“By providing users a web-accessible platform to analyze, process, and review data, the OneO Discovery Platform can help users significantly decrease the cost of electronic discovery,” stated Ronda Raymond, Vice President of E-Discovery Services at Orange Legal Technologies. “In the conduct of an actual legal review, the portion of the process that typically takes the most time and costs the most money is the first pass email and document review. Through a combination of analytics and processing, clients are able to effectively decrease data set sizes upfront. With integrated workflow and collaboration to maximize the collective knowledge of review teams, OneO can help users efficiently and economically address the volume, time and cost challenges associated with e-discovery.”

Consisting of an integrated platform organized into three service modules which can be used together as a single service or used individually in conjunction with best-of-breed partner services, the key capabilities of OneO® are:

OneO O1 Analytics

• Data Preparation allows for the ingestion and normalization of unstructured data as well as ensures that data is managed in a forensically sound manner.
• Data Indexing provides a comprehensive index that includes full text and metadata attributes and can quickly be queried online to organize, understand, and assess available data.
• Data Reduction and Organization is accomplished through the combined used of culling and filtering technologies that provide system file, data range, extension, custodian, and key word filtering as well as the application of near duplicate identification.
• Data Understanding is facilitated with unique features to include interesting phrase finder and conversation thread linking technologies allowing for analysis of data within context of its use.

OneO® O2 Processing

• Data Filtering provides the capability to filter data by date ranges, extensions, custodians, and key words as well as allows for system file filtering against the NIST database using the MD5 hashing algorithm.
• Data Deduplication is provided using the MD5 hashing standard and can be accomplished throughout processing at both the global and/or the document family group level.
• Metadata Extraction allows for the efficient capture of system, file, and field metadata for most unstructured data formats.
• Full Text Extraction is conducted automatically in O2 Processing and is augmented as required by streamlined exception handling procedures to support secondary extractions via OCR and print driver text recognition.
• Data Conversion allows for the full conversion of native file formats into high quality TIFF images and PDF documents while also supporting native file linking.
• Load File Preparation allows for the seamless production of standard output files based on XML, Pass Through, Image, Native, and Proprietary Database Load Formats to ensure ease of use with industry standard review tools to include O3 Review.

OneO O3 Review

• Foreign Language Support is enabled through integrated Unicode Consortium standards and covers 52 worldwide writing systems allowing for the scoping, searching, and review of data sets without the requirement for additional translation modules or services.
• Web Based User Access allows for secure access of data sets and the full conduct of review from any geographical location with Internet access without the requirement for additional client-side applications or programs. This capability allows for the use of geographically dispersed review teams that can be quickly pulled together virtually to manage and complete time-sensitive, coordination-intensive review requirements.
• Integrated Collaboration between reviewers increases the collective experience and knowledge of legal review teams while decreasing the time it takes to communicate and coordinate review issues.
• Integrated Workflow allows for the proper coordination of documents, reviewers, and technology by allowing for the automation of review processes to include reviewer roles, responsibilities, tasks and timelines.
• Audit and Reporting features allow users to customize and automate review reports to support both scheduled and real-time status updates.
• Inclusive Review Proficiency Training is provided as part of the O3 Review to ensure review teams are fully prepared, proficient, and supported in their review efforts.
