A New, Integrated Workflow for e-Discovery

MerlinOne EDRM workflow.

MerlinOne EDRM workflow.

Most electronic discovery workflows are rigid, sequential and unpredictably costly: you start with early case assessment, deduping, processing, and then finally you get to review and analysis. You may use several vendors (and have several data interfaces and get several bills) to reach the point where you can start lawyering. Then some new aspect of the case emerges, and whoops, you have to explain to the client that there will be an expensive “do-over” to “reprocess” the data. Your firm looks less than stellar because the burdensome costs of your current workflow don’t allow you the opportunity to explore the data sufficiently before you move to the very costly processing step.

If you check out the EDRM workflow, you see the intention is to iterate Processing, Review and Analysis as much as you need to in the course of a case. MerlinOne’s flexible workflow, shown above has several unique advantages:

  1. Absolute cost predictability at savings of 40-90%.
  2. Unlimited, do-overs, no “whoops”. Search for privilege and review those docs. Search for some key terms and review those docs. Still, the entire, original dataset is always available to search, again and again. Any time a new issue emerges, search all of the documents with a few clicks, and no additional charges.
  3. Free Electronic Document Discovery Pricing Comparison KitNo time consuming, potentially dangerous data hand offs for 4 critical stages.
  4. Only one system to learn, which you can access with unlimited users.
