New eDiscovery Platform Is kCura Contender
July 16, 2012
When a judge recently ruled in favor of predictive coding, it gave many litigation support technology IVPs the change to display their wares on a bigger scale. Law.com reports that “FTI Consulting Unveils Ringtail 8.2 with Attenex Document Mapper.” FTI Consulting is a global business advisory firm and they have caught onto the eDiscovery trend with their Ringtail 8.2 software that has integrated graphical views to facilitate document analysis and review. The newest version of Ringtail makes them a contender for LexisNexis Concordance and Content Analyst partner KCura’s Relativity platform.
FTI Consulting’s director of product marketing, JR Jenkins believes in predictive coding’s power:
“ ‘Asked where’s the “predictive coding,” he said “it’s built in.” The Document Mapper provides a high-level view of a collection, which results from machine learning processes that combine both “supervised and unsupervised” learning. Jenkins believes that the “workflow around predictive coding is more important than the technology.’ The ‘people, processes, and technology from FTI,’ said Jenkins, that results in a Document Mapper view of a collection aims to open the black box covering predictive coding.”
FTI Consulting is on the right track, but what they lack is the smaller, more personal solutions the legal community needs.
