Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for automated straight-through processing in an electronic discovery system. Further, the embodiments described herein provide for electronic discovery processes, such as, but not limited to, data collection, barcoding, source-to-processing, quality control, third-party network data transfer and data analysis platform loading to be automatically initiated and performed in pipeline fashion. Once a process is completed on a dataset, the next process in the flow is automatically initiated unless exceptions are determined to exist. In addition, embodiments provide for prioritizing cases and conducting each process in the straight-through data processing based on the case prioritization.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery and custodian management. Embodiments herein disclosed provide for an enterprise wide e-discovery system that provides for data to be identified, located, retrieved, preserved, searched, reviewed and produced in an efficient and cost-effective manner across the entire enterprise system. In addition, by structuring management of e-discovery based on case/matter, custodian and data and providing for linkage between the same, further efficiencies are realized in terms of identifying, locating and retrieving data and leveraging results of previous e-discoveries with current requests.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an improved electronic discovery. More specifically, embodiments relate to managing the process for creating search term sets to be applied to electronic data sets associated with a case in an electronic discovery system. A search term management application is provided that allows for multiple users to work collaboratively to define the final search term set that is subsequently applied to the corpus of electronic data for the case. In addition, the application provides for tracking the overall search term creation process. In addition, embodiments provide for a search term hit count engine that is configured to determine search term hit counts for a portion of a corpus of data, such that the determined search term hit count may be predictive of the volume of data needed to review.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatuses for managing electronic discovery, and more particularly, for communicating a preservation notice and/or a survey to and/or from a custodian in an enterprise. For example, in some embodiments, a method for electronic discovery management is provided, where the method includes: (1) creating an electronic discovery matter; (2) adding a custodian to the electronic discovery matter; (3) creating a preservation notice and/or a survey; and (4) communicating, via a network, information associated with the preservation notice and/or the survey to the custodian at a data storage device accessible to the custodian.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclosed relate to methods, systems and computer program products that provide an enterprise wide e-discovery system configured to search myriad data sources across an enterprise to identify electronic data relevant to a particular data request, harvest the relevant electronic data, filter the electronic data to identify request file types, transfer the request file types to a data store, and assign labels, such as barcodes, to the requested file types for the purpose of producing, in an organized fashion, all requested electronic data that is in the enterprise's possession.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products determining suggestive potential custodians in an electronic discovery system. The determination is based on a comparison of data, such as personnel data or like, associated with individuals already added to the case and all other individuals in the enterprise, who form the group of potential custodians. In addition, the comparison of data occurs over the specified timeframe defined by the case to insure that the suggested potential custodians are within the confines to the timeframe of the case. Additional embodiments of the invention provide for determining preservation notice recipients based on a comparison of data, such as personnel data or the like, associated with individuals that have already been identified to receive the preservation notice and other custodians and/or potential custodians.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products determining suggestive preservation notice or survey recipients in an electronic discovery system. The determination is based on a comparison of data, such as personnel data or like, associated with individuals previously identified as preservation notice or survey recipients and individuals currently added to the case, referred to as potential custodians. Additional embodiments of the invention provide for determining preservation notice recipients based additionally upon previous preservation notice and/or survey history of the potential custodians.
