About Attenex Patterns E-Discovery Platform
Attenex dramatically reduces the time, expense and risk of electronic discovery with integrated and uniquely intuitive tools that simplify data management and accelerate review. Attenex Patterns E-Discovery Platform software improves the quality of review and enables review teams to rapidly review large volumes of electronic information while preserving the legal chain of custody. Instead of treating electronic documents solely as bodies of text that can be indexed and keyword searched, Attenex Patterns approaches them as collections of concepts. The software then displays them in the aggregate as a visual map showing clusters of conceptually related documents. This allows attorneys and legal practitioners to review and make high-quality decisions on a much higher volume of documents per hour, quickly separating the clearly relevant from the clearly irrelevant documents. These efficiencies provide law firms and corporations with a way to proactively manage the time and cost associated with the review of potentially discoverable documents.
Attenex Patterns software is currently available through Attenex and select legal service providers, including Forensics Consulting Solutions (www.forensicsconsulting.com), KPMG Forensic Technology Services (www.us.kpmg.com/microsite/fts), LIT Group (www.litgroup.com), Merrill Corporation (www.merrillcorp.com), and Security Assurance Group (www.securityassurancegroup.com).
