LitSmart® Exhibit Sticker

Kilpatrick Townsend developed the LitSmart® Exhibit Sticker to reduce last-minute scrambles to manually apply exhibit stickers. Fully integrated with Relativity, the application enables users to add exhibit stickers—tailored to the case and court—with the click of a button. This not only reduces time and money spent, but also reduces the risk of error.

NightOwl Discovery
DecisionCenter

NightOwl’s DecisionCenter is a suite of tools allowing case managers and reviewers to leverage common information across multiple matters. When there is a significant overlap of documents across reviews, DecisionCenter offers the ability to reuse decisions across workspaces via a series of custom agents, saved searches, and Relativity Integration Points jobs, accelerating review by pointing teams to the relevant documents as early as possible.

Oasis Discovery Partners
LEXI: Ticketing, Invoicing, and Dashboards for Relativity

Oasis Discovery Partners created LEXI, a fully featured project management application—on Relativity—to help solution providers and litigation support departments simplify ticketing, billing, and real-time reporting. Users can customize ticketing, set up automated email updates for project teams, and slice all data, using custom dashboards that update in real time as users drill into the data.

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind
PW Power Print Plus

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind created PW Power Print Plus, which uses the Save as PDF mass action to eliminate the need for print teams to access Relativity. The PDFs are sent to a secure share where lawyers can connect to their self-service interface and send a print request with custom binding instructions. The solution streamlines printing and binding of discovery materials—otherwise only available electronically—for lawyers to bring to trials and depositions.

QDiscovery
QMobile Insight

QDiscovery created QMobile Insight to review and produce mobile data in Relativity the same way as other ESI, allowing them to search and analyze mobile data (including emojis) and quickly identify patterns in mobile data sets—which can consist of tens of thousands of texts, call records, and voicemails. QMobile leverages Relativity dashboards and custom views to allow analysis of previously hard-to-handle mobile collections.

RVM
MatterHorn

RVM built MatterHorn to store historical attorney coding and privilege decisions across Relativity workspaces in a central repository and present them as ‘suggestions’ when previously reviewed documents appear in new matters. Matterhorn’s unique custom hashing process ensures RVM will not miss duplicate documents due to different processing tools. Allowing the team to reuse work product with a scalable solution, RVM is able to reduce costs and risk.

Sandline Discovery
Sandline Review Language Localizer

Sandline Discovery developed a language localizer application that allows administrators to localize workspaces quickly and easily, so any regional review team can improve the workflow for non-English users. Views, layouts, and fields can be renamed with any Unicode character set through a simple and intuitive interface. Their localizer tool gives case teams full control over the naming of each object (for example, using traditional Chinese as opposed to simplified Chinese characters where appropriate).

Swiss FTS AG
Illuminate

Swiss FTS AG built Illuminate to streamline the process of highlighting and commenting on relevant sections of documents during review, by allowing users to annotate specific text within the document viewer and view the location and reasons for their notes in the related items pane. For images without text, Illuminate also allows users to comment at specific locations in a document and jump back to them at any time. Illuminate then allows users to create and print PDFs of all documents with comments inline, so that important documents can be carried into depositions with color-coded comments and notes already included.

Taft Law
Taft Project Management Application

Taft Law built a project management application on Relativity to replace a disjointed process that relied on their document management system, spreadsheets, and emails to understand a matter’s history. The application offers an entire picture of a project, reduces storage needs, creates a more efficient archiving process, and allows team members to pick up a project at any point in its lifecycle, all without requiring Taft to license additional software.

Troutman Sanders
Converge

Converge allows clients to process and store data once, in a single “master” workspace, while maintaining individual “child” workspaces for each matter which reduces cost of processing and hosting the same data more than once. Converge has a custom advanced deduplication process so that data can be merged from any source. Converge also allows clients to reuse attorney decisions across all matters to improve consistency and reduce review of the same document multiple times.

UnitedLex
The KM

Created by UnitedLex, The KM allows project management teams to generate critical business intelligence in Relativity by aggregating case-specific project tracking data. This information helps identify key trends from historical metrics, leverage old matters to estimate new project costs, and view data growth over time. The KM also includes a repository of internal best practices, workflow and training documents, and historical decisions. To minimize context-switching, the data can be viewed from within the specific matter or rolled up in a master project list.

XACT Data Discovery
BlackBar 2.0

To overcome the challenging process of redacting spreadsheets, XACT Data Discovery created BlackBar, a tool allowing users to redact spreadsheets directly in the native Excel application. When the case team is ready to produce, spreadsheets can be finalized, removing all redacted content and extracting updated text. The newly released BlackBar 2.0 allows color-coded redactions, redaction recovery, improved duplicate record handling, custom mass actions to prepare and finalize bulk document sets, and increased performance.
