Stratify Presses the Accelerator

October 7, 2009

Stratify (formerly Purple Yogi) rolled out an early case assessment tool called eVantage. The idea is that by processing quickly available information, those engaged in a legal matter can get a flash view of the information germane to a particular issue. I found the article “Stratify Sweeps left [of EDRM] with eVantage” a useful summary of this new service. For me, the most important comment in the article was:

For Stratify, the news is that they will deliver a box on site that can: process data (over 300 file and archival formats, including Encase, FTK, Exchange); remove system files and detect duplicate and near-duplicate data; search multilingual data (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) using complex Boolean and faceted search strategies where facets equal domains, custodians, e-mail senders and receivers, etc.; and offers intelligent ways to conduct first-level review and data analysis by e-mail threads and identified concepts and groups.

The appliance solution allows a quick deployment. The advantage of an eDiscovery “toaster” is that content can be processed quickly. Speed of deployment has been an irritant to Type A attorneys who want to begin the information review process quickly.

Will the Stratify solution pay off for Iron Mountain? One thing is certain. Other eDiscovery appliance vendors will have to respond to the Stratify appliance.
