TrustPoint International Adds OrcaTec Suite to Litigation Arsenal

May 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Atlanta - Full-spectrum eDiscovery consulting company TrustPoint International today announced that it has partnered with OrcaTec to provide its global clients with access to the predictive coding tool that was approved by the judge in the recent Global Aerospace case in Virginia.

“TrustPoint’s differentiation from other eDiscovery companies is our end-to-end consultative approach combined with a focus on our transparent, efficient, highly defensible process,” said Mark Hawn, CEO of TrustPoint. “We like to be ahead of the curve, so we had created an internal initiative to determine which product best fit into our process and satisfied our clients’ needs before our clients had even begun to ask about predictive coding.”  

Hawn continued, “We tested a number of different products before deciding on the OrcaTec Document Decisioning Suite.  We had made our choice before Judge Chamblin released his decision, but it is reassuring to know that a court is opting for the same technology.”  

Dr. Herbert L. Roitblat, Ph.D., OrcaTec’s CTO and Chief Scientist, said he was pleased that TrustPoint and OrcaTec were partnering, too. “TrustPoint is certainly one of the fastest-growing consultative legal services companies in the market today.  They are experts on what clients want, so their interest in OrcaPredict and the other tools in the Document Decisioning Suite is wonderful for OrcaTec.”

What made OrcaPredict stand out for Hawn from other predictive coding offerings was twofold: The first being its pricing model. “Our clients like cost certainty,” said Hawn.  “OrcaTec is one of the few technology companies that can offer them that predictability. So working together will make it simple to continue with the fixed fee arrangements our clients require.”

The other thing Hawn liked about the software was that it was unique in not requiring a seed set of documents before starting the predictive coding. “OrcaPredict randomly, but transparently, chooses documents for the attorney to mark as responsive or not,” Hawn said.  “So you don’t have to do a lot of preparation before you start coding.  People spend a lot of time doing keyword searches before the predictive coding begins, but they sometimes pick the wrong words.  Because you dive right in with OrcaTec, the first-pass review goes much faster and the accuracy is simply much greater. But OrcaTec has all the transparency and defensibility our clients want as well.  That combination is a home run for us.”

OrcaPredict is just one of the tools in the OrcaTec Document Decisioning Suite, an all-in-one set of eDiscovery technologies that includes concept search, visual clustering, social network sonar and other advanced analytics, as well as email threading, redaction and review capabilities.

“Although we partnered initially for the predictive coding, we are looking forward to being able to offer all the other tools in the Suite to our clients as well,” said Hawn.

“We are delighted to have a partner like TrustPoint,” said Roitblat.  “These are incredibly experienced eDiscovery experts who have worked all over the world with cases of all sizes.  They will truly add value to OrcaTec, just as we hope to add value to them.”
