REDUCING THE COST OF E-DISCOVERY
Sfile’s E-Discovery paradigm-changing approach to reducing cost is to use its single, fully-integrated EDD system with evidence archiving, document processing, early case assessment and document review.
Evidence Re-Use: Sfile's Evidence Archiving capabilities enable the creation of Reference Libraries of commonly referenced corporate documents used repeatedly in multiple matters. Also, evidence archiving allows for evidence reuse, eliminating the need to re-process electronic data. It also allows retainment of collections throughout the life of matter, eliminating the cost and time delay issues associated with expanded discovery scope within the collections.
In-House Processing: Sfile's Document Processing capabilities allow your internal E-Discovery team to index, de-duplicate and filter electronic documents without the need to send the data to expensive “full service” providers.
Control Document Review: Maintain control of document review performed by either your internal teams, outside council or contract review vendors by standardizing on a single review platform. With Sfile’s integrated platform, your team can move data from processing to review with the click of a button. There’s no need to transfer data to another system. Sfile’s Document Review capabilities also allow your organization to directly monitor review productivity.
REDUCING THE RISK OF E-DISCOVERY
The Sfile EDD platform enables a number of risk mitigation features.
Know Where Your Data Is: Sfile's Evidence Archiving capabilities provide centralized, searchable, scalable data storage.
Defensible Data Filtering: Sfile’s Early Case Assessment solution enables the creation of legal strategies based upon data collection analysis. Transparent filtering that you control enables a more collaborative and defensible process
Know How Your Data Was Reviewed: Sfile provides the ability to track the review history across multiple matters for each document, providing consistent treatment of evidence across matters, and reducing probability of inadvertent production.
Security: Sfile provides multiple levels of application security. Users connect to Sfile using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), a combination of application level and network level security designed for secure Internet connectivity. HTTPS encrypts web pages prior to transmission and decrypting a message upon arrival at the user’s web browser. Users are required to enter their ID and Password to enter the system. User access to data and functionality is determined by access rights assigned by the system administrator. Extensive audit logs are maintained of all user and system activity.
WHERE TO START
Sfile's flexible licensing allows corporations to build an evidence archive on a matter-by-matter basis through either a hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or an on-site license model.
