No doubt there were a lot of things that I missed on the exhibit floor at the last LegalTech New York. So I am going to step back and bring forth some of the best news that slipped past me. At the very least, this will help me sort things out. Because I refuse to revolve around e-discovery and much prefer to focus on technology. For example, Recommind made some improvements to Decisiv Email with version 2.3 that enhanced the process of automatically tagging, filing, and storing e-mail messages.
One way to look at that would be from an e-discovery perspective. Ultimately, automatically tagging e-mail messages (and their attachments) will facilitate applying policies (e.g., retention policy) to those tags that will reduce EDD costs. Messages that relate to a business purpose or messages that are potentially responsive to pending or future litigation will be tagged, saved, and available for search and retrieval in response to litigation. This will reduce the risk that responsive e-mail will be missed during the collection stage of e-discover, thus avoiding costly sanctions and facilitating collection and privilege review.
Take a look at Recommind's base technology that enables the above: the MindServer platform. MindServer automatically identifies concepts within and across information resources like e-mail message stores as well as Interwoven WorkSite. Hence, it is able to automatically understand what words have multiple meanings and what concepts have multiple expressions and use that information to search and tag content, automatically. This has the potential to take the archiving or retention decisions out of the hands of users and ensure what needs to be retained for business and legal purposes, is retained.
So, when you look at the Recommind's technology, it will help an organization retain important content for regulatory and compliance reasons. All this before litigation ensues and all quite "left" of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model. In fact, Recommind's technology can be used wide left of the EDRM, which is where you want your long-term technology investments to lie.
