eMag Solutions offers Near-Duplicate Document Detection Technology through Equivio

October 26, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Atlanta, GA – October 26, 2007 – eMag Solutions, LLC, a leading international electronic discovery company, announced the addition of near-duplicate detection to its suite of electronic discovery services. Near-duplicate detection speeds document review by substantially reducing data collections. The new service is available through a partnership with Equivio, which offers the industry’s leading technology for identifying near-duplicate documents.

The ever-increasing size of data collections in litigation requires new and better technology to efficiently manage e-discovery processing and document review. De-duplicating data collections has been a standard practice in litigation support for many years. But with document collections including up to 40% near-duplicates, Equivio’s technology can reduce data review volumes even further. This translates into considerable time and money savings.

eMag Solutions works directly with corporate counsel and corporate IT departments, in addition to law firms, to help respond to discovery requests and to assist with the proactive construction of a litigation readiness strategy. eMag’s service offerings include: litigation preparedness consulting, data restoration, email production, conversion, and archiving, computer forensics, data recovery, the eMag PreVu application which provides a graphic user interface to analyze and cull raw, unstructured data, and more. With world-wide service centers, the company is well-known as a leading provider of electronic discovery services both in the U.S. and the U.K., and was recently included among the top 20 e-discovery service providers in the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey.

“The ability to detect near-duplicate documents in a large data collection is not insignificant. Attorneys leveraging this technology save time and money, leaving more of both to focus on what is relevant in their case,” said Brendan Sullivan, president and CEO of eMag Solutions. “By integrating Equivio’s near-duplicate detection technology, eMag further positions itself as a leader among e-discovery service providers,” he added.

Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio, stated, “The adoption of our technology by an industry leader of eMag’s stature is yet another illustration of our own leadership position among legal software providers. We are pleased to be working with eMag and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership.”
