OcÉ business services casedata document review system introduces
streamlined collaboration for ediscovery
New york--(business wire)--ocÉ business services, a leader in document process management services and technology, today introduced several new features to its casedata™ system that will reduce the time and costs associated with ediscovery and document review. casedata enables legal teams to collaboratively produce, search and review documents for legal discovery and regulatory matters. litigation requires that attorneys review large volumes of electronic and paper documents as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. casedata’s advanced features enable legal professionals to collaborate more efficiently and manage ediscovery projects with greater accuracy and control. one new feature is smart folders. these are different from traditional folders, in which a static set of documents are stored. no static documents are stored in smart folders. instead, smart folders store specific search criteria (such as a specific term related to a case) and the search is run every time the smart folder is opened. in casedata, each smart folder displays the last known document search count. when a smart folder is opened a new search is executed; the results are shown and the last known search count value is updated. smart folders offer a significant advantage because legal teams can quickly see how a document set is progressing toward a second review tier and into production. this can enable document review teams to more effectively construct an accurate timeline for the production of thousands of documents. another important enhancement is document family and email thread conflict warning, which alerts document reviewers of decision conflicts in review fields across email thread groups and document family groups. for example, if a reviewer of a document family group decides that an email is relevant to a case but that a document attached to the email is not, the reviewer is warned of a potential conflict in that decision. this feature helps legal teams significantly reduce the time it takes to move from review to production of documents related to a case. dual monitor support enables reviewers to open a second window linked to an active document and view the additional window on one or two monitors. the second window enables users to see more information connected with the active document at one time (such as images, attachments and email threads). this feature also retains a user’s window settings and will launch the second window according to the size and shape previously set. dual monitor support helps reduce “click count” and total document review time. another new feature, review edit tracking, improves collaboration by enabling document review teams to more quickly track individual reviewer decisions, such as whether a document is relevant or confidential. this capability is important because reviews can become inconsistent and it is critical minimize risks associated with inconsistency. ocÉ and canon: stronger together in 2010 ocÉ joined the canon group of companies with headquarters in tokyo, japan, to create the global leader in the printing industry. canon develops, manufactures and markets a growing line-up of copying machines, printers, cameras, optical and other products that meet a diverse range of customer needs. the canon group comprises over 197,000 employees worldwide. global net sales in 2010 were more than usd 45 billion. for more information visit www.canon.com. about ocÉ ocÉ is one of the leading providers of document management and printing for professionals. the ocÉ offering includes office printing and copying systems, high speed digital production printers and wide format printing systems for both technical documentation and color display graphics. ocÉ is also a foremost supplier of document management outsourcing. many of the fortune global 500 companies and leading commercial printers are ocÉ customers. the company was founded in 1877. with headquarters in venlo, the netherlands, ocÉ is active in over 100 countries and employs more than 20,000 people worldwide. total revenues in financial 2010 amounted to approximately €2.7 billion. ocÉ is listed on euronext in amsterdam. for more information visit www.oce.com. ocÉ business services provides high quality managed services and technology to manage, monitor and optimize document intensive processes so companies can improve operating efficiency and performance. ocÉ business services solutions span the document lifecycle and include records management, imaging, managed print services, mail and ediscovery. proprietary methodologies apply six sigma®. north american headquarters are in new york city and employment is about 5,000. learn more at www.obs-innovation.com or follow us on twitter. about canon u.s.a., inc. canon u.s.a., inc., is a leading provider of consumer, business-to-business, and industrial digital imaging solutions. its parent company, canon inc.
