Blazing New Trails in Litigation Support
By Dennis Kennedy
The growing importance of electronic discovery has resulted in an increasing number of choices among litigation support tools. But which of these tools will endure as the market inevitably consolidates and shakes out? No one can say for sure, but CT Summation and its Blaze LG, Blaze LG Gold, and iBlaze tools seem like a safe bet for several reasons — a long track record, a large installed base, and parent company Wolters Kluwer's financial commitment.
The CT Summation Blaze LG product family features tools that enable you to store, organize, and search scanned documents, electronic documents and e-mail, transcripts, case chronologies, and more. The product family also has robust OCR and PDF capabilities. And now, just in time for the new electronic discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, CT Summation has released version 2.8 of Blaze LG, Blaze LG Gold, and iBlaze with new capabilities for quick review of electronically stored information.
You can allocate documents into discrete review sets for each reviewer, and then you can use the new quick review to consistently identify, classify, and organize documents with mere clicks. The classification tools include category "tags" (e.g., author, responsive, or type of document) and issue "tags," which you can apply to documents instantly. Also included are "Folders" for organizing these documents. You can define Folders however you please — your own collection, by team, for a specific deponent, etc.
Version 2.8 was designed in response to user feedback and emphasizes improved usability. For example, other new features include spell-checking in the database fields to reduce errors, autosave, the ability to correct/re-unitize images, an "Update Bates Range" tool to automatically add new Bates numbers, improved loading and export tools (including the ability to validate load files before loading documents and the ability to export data to Microsoft Excel), redesigned online help and user documentation, and much more.
