The saying "chance favors the prepared mind." Within e-Discovery, it favors the prepared attorney and Exeact's early analytic assessment process is the means by which to be prepared.

With Exeact's Early Case Analytic Assessment Service your legal teams can quickly ascertain (in the light of the enormous potential costs of e-Discovery) whether there is

  • A case to answer

  • How to answer it

  • Whether answering it is cost- effective

The demands of regulations such as the US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mean that extended timescales for discovery are not an option. Yet, with the time between finishing data review, and delivering to opposing counsel now routinely a matter of hours, knowing what is being handed over, and really understanding the content of that information, is no longer possible for companies using traditional discovery tools.

Utilizing Exeact's Early Case Analytic Assessment (eAssess) services before a case is filed, allows a company to  analyze relevant data to answer the initial question, "Is there a case?". More importantly, being able to develop an informed initial case strategy is of critical importance in a world where e-Discovery costs routinely total millions of dollars before cases even come to trial.

The Exeact eAssess serve helps a legal team understand

  • Its data

  • Its content

  • Its challenges

It also prepares a legal team for an effective discussion with the other side on discovery plans.

It is difficult to formulate an effective e-Discovery strategy without  knowledge of the data and of the issues in the case. Analysis is not a substitute for document review, but it can facilitate it and reduce the amount of time, effort, and cost it requires.

 
  Arming Counsel

An effective early case assessment arms counsel with the following to walk into a Rule 26(f) conference with confidence.

  • Data Summary and Analysis

  • Search Term Lists

  • Data Maps

Having such information in hand not only demonstrates that you and your client have your house in order, but that you've been diligent and reasonable in your approach.

  Gaining Knowledge Fast

eAssess  is a quick way to react immediately to a lawsuit through analysis of their data.

Early in a case, analysis is often conducted in the context of great uncertainty. However, it is through these efforts that case uncertainty is reduced. 

  Reduce E-Discovery Costs

Waiting until the data is in a review system to evaluate it is costing companies thousands if not millions of dollars annually.  Those dollars would be much better spent as pennies, which is the cost of eAssess tools in terms of review budgets. 

Companies can reduce the amount of data being re-requested during review if they evaluated data ahead of it.  If a company desires to reduce the amount of money spent on review they must use eAssess tools.
