the Free CMSWire NewsletterThis week is dominated by e-Discovery with the release of new software from Autonomy that the company says will dramatically cut times and costs in legal review, while IBM and PSS Systems integrate for better legal hold.

Autonomy Speeds-up eDiscovery
With the ink hardly dry on the Autonomy acquisition of CA’s records management components, it has started making changes to its e-Discovery software. The changes this time come in the shape of Autonomy's (news, site) Meaning Based Coding, a new module designed to radically reduce the time and costs associated with e-Discovery and document review.
The new component uses the company's concept-based pattern recognition technology to watch and learn how legal teams code documents during the review process to understand the coding decisions.
The result is that the software is able to identify the concepts legal reviewers search for and enables it to analyze and code case documents to prioritize them for review.
From the first coding decision, the software understands what information is relevant and can either automatically code remaining documents for a prioritized second tier review or accurately suggest coding for the attorney reviewing the documents.
In doing so, the time involved in review is drastically cut, while the errors that are associated with manual review are also reduced.
It also processes petabytes of electronically stored information (ESI), in more than 120 languages and more than 1,000 file types, including audio and video, while the intuitive dashboard enables the review team to quickly ascertain how documents should be coded based on prior decisions. Autonomy Meaning Based Coding is available now as hosted or on-premise software, or as an appliance.
IBM Integrates with PSS for Automatic e-Discovery
More in the e-Discovery space, this time from PSS Systems (news, site) which has just announced the integration of IBM's (news, site) e-Discovery and early case assessment system with PSS Systems' Atlas eDiscovery and legal hold workflow system.
With the new Atlas Compliance Automation connector for IBM e-Discovery Manager to be released this summer, attorneys can define who and what must be placed on legal hold in Atlas, which then automatically propagates these parameters to IBM's e-Discovery Manager.
PSS Systems provides information governance software to enterprises. When combined with IBM and PSS Systems' enterprise retention management capabilities, joint customers of the IBM PSS Information Governance Solution can achieve and automate the disposal of data.
According to PSS Systems, the core issue is to combine legal department issues with IT issues and produce a system that straddles the two. With this integration, it says the legal department can engage with the people who have and manage data — from scoping and determining the custodians and sources, to implementing the hold, to initial and subsequent collections.
