The core ECA technologies include search, text analytics and data mining, business process workflow automation, project management, and decision support features that have been offered as a single product referred to as an "early case assessment" application.

AD ECA’s Web-based Silverlight platform supports all features crucial to an accurate appraisal of the large electronic data sets that make up the bulk of today’s evidentiary documents. These include:

o   Customizable User Layouts and Permissions
o   Multiple Faceted Data Filters with Hundreds of Unique Subfilters

With AccessData ECA, corporations can process even complex internal data extremely quickly, and then filter and export greatly reduced subsets into an AD Summation review platform - or via a number of industry standard load files into the corresponding platforms. AD ECA’s culling and flexible export options also benefit law firms by allowing them to hone large data sets received from clients, thereby easing the most costly of eDiscovery phases; final review.
