Sfile End-to-End Electronic Discovery with Pricing Insurance^TM

Sfile continues to deliver game changing advantages that create real answers to the market’s demand for meaningful solutions from our “Techonomy” leaders.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 18, 2011 - Today, Sfile Technology Corporation, a leading provider of Big Data Processing and Analytics with a SaaS-based delivery of eDiscovery, litigation support, and collaborative workspace solutions, announces its newest product offering, Sfile End-to-End Electronic Discovery with Pricing Insurance^TM.

This new offering targets litigation support providers and their clients, seeking an end-to-end eDiscovery solution with an equally transparent and predictable end-to-end price. After considerable engineering efforts to create truly powerful processing technology, Sfile continues to deliver game changing advantages that create real answers to the market’s demand for meaningful solutions from our “Techonomy” leaders. The result is a new model for pricing that measures the very real risk of the entire electronic discovery process, factors in quantum advances in technology, and delivers new pricing paradigms that offset that risk with guaranteed maximum price exposure.

Recent commentaries circulating strong opinions about eDiscovery pricing models further demonstrate that the main issues remain to be price inflation and unpredictability, disconnection between needs and limits, and even transparency of the actual pricing itself.

"With the inclusion of a “price insurance” policy, Sfile eliminates the economic risk associated with the unpredictable processing-to-production cost. Finally, a solution that grants peace of mind to all involved in the eDiscovery process."

With breakthrough ESI processing speeds of 154 gigabytes per hour, and ‘native file to black-and-white TIFF’ production with industry-standard load files, at the incredible rate of 6 minutes per gigabyte, Sfile is by far leading the processing-to-production experience. Such technology performances reinforce Sfile’s capability to offer huge efficiencies to the marketplace with very little risk and at a greater cost-benefit to our partners and end-users.

Sfile End-to-End Electronic Discovery with Pricing Insurance^TM is offered to our partner network at the industry’s first $100/GB ingestion rate, which includes the following features in a cloud-based SaaS Platform:

•     ESI processing and analysis
•     De-duplication

“With the addition of pricing insurance and the advances afforded by Sfile’s HPC Massive Parallel Processing Engine, we have created a true end-to-end price for eDiscovery where cost can be as low as $100/GB and is guaranteed to never exceed $325/GB to our partners. The more you ingest into Sfile, the more you save,” says Frank Perez, CEO of Sfile. With the value added by our professional partner network, end-user pricing should be significantly impacted in the marketplace delivering true value and predictable pricing to end-users.

Sfile Technology Corporation, a leading provider of Big Data Processing and Analytics with a SaaS-based delivery of eDiscovery, litigation support, and collaborative workspace solutions offered through a disruptive end-to-end pricing model, is proud to announce today the proven and unprecedented processing speeds of the Sfile HPC Predictor Engine.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) November 16, 2011 - Sfile Technology Corporation, a leading provider of Big Data Processing and Analytics with a SaaS-based delivery of eDiscovery, litigation support, and collaborative workspace solutions offered through a disruptive end-to-end pricing model, is proud to announce today the proven and unprecedented processing speeds of the Sfile HPC Predictor Engine. The Sfile HPC Predictor Engine is a supercharged massive parallel processing engine with an integrated, proprietary, patent pending technology which leverages the latest multi-core, multi-processor commodity servers.

With such innovation, the talented development team at Sfile is indeed transforming commodity servers into High Performance Computing Servers. The Sfile HPC Processor for ESI gives our partners the unique advantage of a risk-based pricing model to predict future outcomes based on real world experiences to disrupt the inefficient and risky practice of data being transferred from one system to another. With the advantage of the HPC Predictor Engine for parallel processing, Sfile achieves an average rate of processing electronically stored information at 154 gigabytes per hour on one industry standard server – where industry claims averages of 76 gigabytes per hour.

Along with our fast ESI processing speeds, the Sfile HPC Processor can convert native files to black and white TIFF images for document production, with an industry-standard load file, at an incredible rate of 6 minutes per gigabyte! This yields unheard-of performance results in both the processing and production stages, which allow us to offer huge efficiencies and cost savings into the marketplace while at the same time, creating a high degree of predictability to overall eDiscovery cost. “With this advantage and our ability to manage price risk, Sfile will be able to extend even greater value and cost savings to our partners and in turn, end users,” says Kevin O’Connell, President of Sfile Technology Corporation.

For an ever growing and evolving eDiscovery industry that demands new pricing and performance models, this advantage is essential. The proprietary and faster data processing technology allows Sfile to deliver high-quality solutions to its partners and provide realistic prices for eDiscovery services. The Sfile HPC Predictor Engine extends the reach of discovery and its status as the premier eDiscovery technology solution by capitalizing on the efficient use of highly available resources. According to CEO, Frank Perez, “Sfile’s HPC Predictor Engine technology has only barely been tapped. In the near future, Sfile will be able to offer richer data analytics and new product offerings that will fully take advantage of this new technology.”

Sfile’s leadership and ongoing innovation clearly demonstrates its ultimate vision to leverage creative engineering to change the economics of marketplaces with disruptive technology. According to Mr. Perez,

“The innovators in our marketplace are looking beyond traditional methods and finding solutions to all sorts of problems. Big Data is a reality and we have to adapt in order to face this tidal wave threatening to overwhelm businesses everywhere. Technology like the HPC Predictor Engine will not only defend us against this threat, but will be leveraged to empower us to gain better insight and even greater possibilities. The future is bright.”

Smarter, Faster Processing Speeds

With almost perfect timing, EDDUpdate recently posted a blog entry titled, “The Truth about Processing Speed.” It is great that Albert Barsocchini brought this important topic to light and posed some very good questions, as there is a lot of confusion and apprehension to the true facts behind processing speed. The software engineers here at Sfile applauded the comments and wanted us to share with you how we address these questions.

Computer “Clean-Up” Constitutes Spoliation: Court Orders Forensic Exam, Grants Adverse Inference Instruction and Awards Attorneys’ Fees

By: Susan Ardisson, Esq.

In a trade secret case, the defendant testified that he conducted a “clean-up” of his Dell computer follow-ing the issuance of a TRO and preliminary injunction against him. The defendant’s housekeeping activities on his computer included the deletion of certain financial information and evidence of his subsequent contacts with the plaintiff’s customers in violation of the TRO and preliminary injunction. Armed with this information, the plaintiff in AMG National Trust Bank v. Reis, 2011 WL 3099629 (E.D. Pa. July 22, 2011) moved for contempt and for sanctions based on the defendant’s spoliation of evidence. Commenting on the defendant’s conduct, the AMG court concluded that “the evidence strongly suggests that his purpose in deleting the files was to pre-vent their discovery."
