Anacomp Integrates Equivio's Near-Duplicate Technology into its CaseLogistix
Litigation Support Solution
SAN DIEGO, Calif., and KENSINGTON, Md., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Anacomp(R) Inc., a leading business process solutions company, and Equivio, a
provider of software used in the litigation support realm, today announced a
joint technology alliance in which Anacomp has integrated Equivio's
near-duplicate technology into its CaseLogistix(R) litigation support
solution, allowing users to ensure the consistent treatment of similar
documents and significantly reduce document review times and costs.

CaseLogistix is the most powerful and versatile litigation review and
integration platform available today, providing a complete solution for
electronic document organization, annotation, discovery management and
production. With the Equivio integration, CaseLogistix users are able to work
with groups of similar documents -- even if the documents exist in varying
file formats -- and, using the Equivio compare feature, immediately access
each document's unique, value-added content. As a result, users can virtually
eliminate redundancy from the document review process, reducing costs and
helping litigators zoom in on the information they need to build a case.
"The litigation process is challenged by ballooning document volumes and
review costs," said John Turner, Anacomp's Chief Technology Officer. "The
integration with Equivio's best-of-breed near-duplicate and email thread
technology allows our CaseLogistix customers to focus exclusively on documents
that contain unique information and, moreover, on the unique information
within each document."
In addition, Anacomp supports Equivio's content-centric email thread
capability. Equivio's content-centric approach to building email threads
allows users to review only emails that contain unique content. Applied to
data in the Enron case, Equivio's email thread technology was able to reduce
the overall review effort by 60%. The content-centric approach is robust,
eliminating any dependence on the idiosyncrasies of email metadata, while also
facilitating thread analysis on OCR collections.
"Anacomp has a powerful presence in both the eDiscovery and enterprise
document capture and management markets," Turner continued. "There are
remarkable symmetries in these markets as enterprises align themselves with a
changing litigation and compliance environment. By integrating Equivio's
email thread technology into CaseLogistix in the near future as well as
potentially into our docHarbor(R) platform, we are helping our customers find
and process the right content much more quickly."
"Anacomp has clearly identified the need for technologies that can help
its customers meet regulatory and litigation challenges in the face of
skyrocketing document volumes," said Amir Milo, Chief Executive Officer of
Equivio. "In this pervasive context, we believe that the integration of
Equivio's technology will represent a compelling value proposition for
Anacomp's law firm and corporate customers."
CaseLogistix allows legal teams to quickly review and produce any amount
of digital evidence using an interface similar to that of Microsoft(R)
Outlook(R). Combined with Anacomp's docHarbor document management platform,
business process management services, and secure high-speed scanning and
conversion services, CaseLogistix provides law firms and corporate legal
departments with one-stop access to one of the broadest litigation management
solutions in the legal industry.
