e-discovery analytical offerings provider Equivio has launched Equivio Zoom, a single integrated platform for predictive coding and analytics.

Equivio Zoom combines the company’s best-of-breed near-duplicates, email threads and relevance components together with data import and export, early case assessment and enriched analytics.

The company’s best-of-breed near-duplicates and relevance components are integrated on a unified web-based platform for easy access and use and this approach eliminates the need for moving data between applications, shortening data handling cycles and reducing the risk of errors.

Zoom extracts text and metadata from raw ingest, generates data profiles for ECA and subjects the data to multi-layered analysis, including de-duping, near-duping, email threading and language detection.

Zoom’s search environment enables keyword analysis and metadata faceting.

In addition, Zoom’s predictive coding application organises documents by relevance and uses relevance scores, keywords and metadata to select relevant documents for export. Zoom then creates review batches, with a view to keep like documents together in downstream review and finally exports native files, full text and metadata to the relevant review platform.

Equivio CEOAmir Milo said for the first time, Zoom brings analytical technology into the e-discovery mainstream.

"The accessibility of Zoom allows organizations to build predictive coding and analytics into their standard e-discovery workflows. This is important. The earlier your attorneys can get their eyes on a meaningfully organized document collection, the better you are able to control the litigation process," said Milo.
