Vancouver, BC, August 17, 2009 — MasterFile Software today announced Equivio integration providing near-duplicate document grouping and email threading for self-managed document review on MasterFile's litigation and case analysis platform. By partnering with Bridge City Legal (BCL), a premier litigation services company, MasterFile makes Equivio technology, proven to significantly reduce the cost, time and effort in e-discovery review, affordable for smaller matters and smaller legal practices.
Near-duplicates can represent half the documents in e-mail threads - a huge review cost. Equivio weeds out extraneous material, ensures consistent treatment of similar documents and helps prevent mistakes. MasterFile's unique near-duplicate views expedite review helping legal counsel zoom into the critical data they need to win cases.
"Document review is the most costly part of e-discovery," said Zainul Ebrahim, Vice President of Business Development at MasterFile. "Culling irrelevant data and masking near-duplicates from cluttering the review process lets the litigator get to the facts for case analysis within MasterFile, fast. We're extremely pleased to work with BCL to offer Equivio processing to our users."
"The ability for boutique firms to perform self-managed review on smaller matters quickly is very important," said Haze Moss, Vice President at BCL. "As a leading provider of litigation services, we are delighted to provide Equivio processing for MasterFile. By processing documents and threads through our Equivio systems, smaller practices can now perform native review extremely cost effectively — placing them on par with the larger firm."
Keeping all case information - evidence, research, work-product, case analysis and argument — in one place, MasterFile makes the next steps in litigation simpler. Once review is complete, litigators set out case analysis and their argument in MasterFile itself while drawing on supporting documents and key extracts from the case database. Full mobile functionality with all case material whether online or not and simple one click bi-directional synchronization keeps everyone up to date.
