XCM - Discovery

For law firms and forensic firms and others who need to deal with large amounts of unstructured information in raw, unorganized form, Xpriori has created the Xpriori XCM-Discovery Appliance. It is specially tuned to enable users to receive and evaluate or evaluate and produce large volumes of case specific information without the constraints imposed by traditional document management systems. XCM-Discovery has several powerful, yet simple to use, core features that arm users with significant competitive, time saving and ROI advantages for managing both discovery or research receipt and production. Here’s how it works:

Users aggregate large volumes of case specific information into a single repository—from the network, from a DVD, from the scanner or from any source.

Once received the documents may be Bates Stamped with automated but flexible processes – the path of possession and control is preserved.

Scanned documents requiring rendering by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to be text searchable are, in fact, OCR’d.

Users can immediately search content to assist in the organizational process, even before creating or adding categorical metadata. Users discover the content first and add the metadata later to assist in the organizational process.

Once material information is evaluated, users can organize it into powerful Research Folders. Research Folders are virtual in nature – they rely on links to the original Bates Stamped documents, preserving both the original document’s location and content. The user can use and evaluate the document as if it were physically present in his file. The process avoids the problems created by using multiple copies of files and assures that the user always has use of the original.

Users can create commentary using Annotation features – unlimited in size and number -- at both the individual document and folder levels. This allows users to build new information and knowledge around their case and to share the information with team members.

Finally, XCM-Discovery facilitates users’ extracting their discovered, organized and annotated information to their hard drive or other locations for inclusion in final preparation of materials for use in their case or project.

The XCM-Discovery Appliance does not require integration with existing hardware or software applications but can easily be accessed from a user’s desktop through the firm’s network. Its full power can be experienced immediately upon loading the information. XCM-Discovery provides legal firms of any size, corporate legal departments, forensics firms and many other users with a turnkey solution designed specifically to manage the receipt and production of discovery materials.

XCM-Discovery has been created for law firms, corporate law departments, forensics firms and other settings with the need to discover and evaluate information in raw form to be used subsequently for case or project development. Use XCM to start with an assessment of content of substantive information to help design a folder structure that fits the case.
