Press Release, San Francisco, CA – April 13, 2009 - Evolve Discovery, a litigation consulting, data processing and project management services, has partnered with kCura Corporation to offer the web-based litigation support platform Relativity to their law firm and corporate customers in order to support their e-Discovery document review requirements. Since implementing Relativity, Evolve has seen their clients’ review times and costs dramatically decrease.
“With Relativity, we are able to provide solutions for our customers that were not possible in the past,” said Shamir Colloff, Evolve Discovery Director of Technology. “By pairing Relativity’s flexibility and scalability with the concept search and categorization features of Relativity Analytics, we have been able to save our clients time and money in the review process.”
Evolve Discovery has recently completed a multi-million record project in Relativity with a large team of reviewers under abbreviated timelines: a feat not possible with their previous solution.
Evolve Discovery’s corporate clients have been using Relativity Analytics on cases to identify similarities between their client’s production and that of opposing council’s, bringing major efficiencies to the review process in organizing documents by known issues. Evolve Discovery used 67 hot documents from their client’s 1.8 MM page production, and found ~400 similar documents in their plaintiff’s 2.2 MM page production using Similar Document Detection. This saved their client hundreds of thousands of dollars in review costs while preparing for depositions.
“It is great to see Evolve having success with Relativity,” said Andrew Sieja, CEO of kCura. “We like working with their team. They have a knack for applying new technologies to solve the challenges of document review, but most importantly they are totally committed to a positive end user experience. This commitment aligns with our own at kCura.”
“We evaluated a select few hosting platforms to provide our clients with an innovative solution for document review,” said Andy Jimenez, Managing Partner of Evolve Discovery. “Relativity’s outstanding technology was the reason for its consideration, but it was kCura’s stellar customer service that led us to choose Relativity. Excellent technology - even better people."
Relativity is a powerful, yet easy-to-use litigation support platform that is winning converts among the biggest firms in the world. Features include an interface that is almost completely customizable between users and groups, the ability to tiff on the fly, powerful searching that includes analytics and conceptual searching, and complete Unicode compliance, giving Relativity the power to handle foreign language document review.
