Stroz Friedberg Expands, Enhances eDiscovery R&D Capabilities

Litigation attorneys and general counsel will benefit from the recent investments Stroz Friedberg has made to its electronic discovery Research & Development team.

[USPRwire, Thu Aug 27 2009] Litigation attorneys and general counsel will benefit from the recent investments Stroz Friedberg has made to its electronic discovery Research & Development team. The R&D team is responsible for developing Stroz Review, the powerful eDiscovery hosting and review platform, creating functionality ranging from basic search to the artificial intelligence and text analytic tools that quickly bring structure to large document repositories which are typical in litigation matters today.

“Now that we’re approaching year 3 of the new Federal Rules,” stated Michael Sperling, Ph.D, Managing Director of the R&D group, “we have more sophisticated users who know they must use technology to drive productivity up and costs down. They require the most advanced technology to obtain their results more quickly and with complete assurance.” Recently the Stroz Review R&D team has moved to new office space to accommodate added developers, and significant further staffing is under way to accelerate development of the advanced features that anticipate our client’s needs. On a rapid development-and-delivery path are enhancements to automated subjective coding, privilege identification, and review workflow, as well as improved clustering and tagging tools.

Since March of 2008 Stroz Friedberg has made major investments in capitalizing on the capacity and processing strength of its hosting platform by expanding its US-based data center and building a new data center in London to provide local processing for UK and EU clients. For countries with restrictive data privacy laws, Stroz has invested in a mobile processing unit that can process data in-country to give counsel in those countries access to the most advanced data analytics and review tools available.

The additions to the R&D team are further evidence of Stroz Friedberg’s commitment to offer clients the most comprehensive suite of services and the most advanced technologies, ensuring the most defensible results and predictable costs throughout the eDiscovery process.
