iCONECT and Content Analyst Automate Document Organization
LOS ANGELES , LA – August 1, 2008 – iCONECT® Development, LLC, a world leader in litigation support and collaboration software, and Content Analyst Company, LLC (Reston, VA), a leading provider of Concept Search and advanced text analytics software, announced an integration that automatically identifies related documents and groups them into folders in iCONECT software so your document collection is organized in category clusters and ready for review.
Content Analyst Analytical Technology (C.A.A.T.™) works by analyzing entire documents – based on concepts versus keyword or search terms – so it will identify appropriate categories and appropriate documents even if key terms aren’t present in those documents. This technology is also very resistant to typographical and transcription errors – like OCR errors – so documents can be correctly grouped and clustered despite inadvertent or even deliberate misspellings.
“We are excited that iCONECT has selected C.A.A.T.’s unique Dynamic Clustering and Categorization capabilities to help their partners and end-users reduce the time and cost of document review,” said Kurt Michel, President of Content Analyst Company. “We look forward to working with the iCONECT team and their industry leading partners to bring the power of C.A.A.T. to the thousands of attorneys already using iCONECT software.”
Once processed by C.A.A.T., folders are created in iCONECT’s flagship products iCONECTnXT and iCONECTeXT for each category containing related documents. Categories can also be nested, which translates into parent and child folders for more-efficient grouping. For example, you might have a folder labeled “Financial” with subfolders for “Loans”, “Cash Flow”, “Accounts Receivable” and so on.
Using iCONECT’s software which allows secure web based access to a document collection in a legal case, users can simply retrieve the folder for the category they have been assigned and get a head start on the review process. This also ensures a more consistent review because all documents related to a specific category are reviewed together.
“We recognize that document reviews are the most time-consuming challenge for our clients, so we continue to focus on improving review workflow with new integrations and new review features designed to save time,” said Ian Campbell, Chief Operating Officer of iCONECT Development, LLC. “The Content Analyst integration is another enhancement that we are excited to offer to our clients.”
The clustering and categorization integration is the first phase of a strategic integration between the companies. The second phase will include the ability to dynamically search the database for concepts, themes and related documents based on a record or a portion of text. Both firms are confident that these integrations will dramatically reduce the time and costs in a global document review.
This integration will be available through iCONECT’s worldwide network of application service providers (ASPs) – the most extensive of its kind in the industry – who are also running C.A.A.T. ASPs offer hosting and processing as key components of their overall e-discovery offering to law firms, government and corporations.
iCONECT review features include native file viewing, bulk review options, keyboard shortcuts, metrics reports, and extensive Oracle-powered search capabilities. iCONECT’s secure web-based access also supports the review process by enabling counsel and staff located in multiple locations to review the same documents. In addition, e-mails and attachments are organized into parent-child groups for more efficient review.
