CloudNine and Heureka Partner to Provide Legal Intelligence through Data and Legal Discovery Technologies

Integrated Offering Provides Data Discovery and Legal Discovery Capability throughout Information and Litigation Lifecycles

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) October 25, 2016

CloudNine, the eDiscovery Company (cloudnine.com) which provides eDiscovery automation software and professional services for litigation, investigations, and audits, today announced a partnership with Heureka Software, a preeminent provider of technology that gathers and analyzes unstructured data. The partnership will provide legal, business, and information technology professionals an integrated solution that combines data discovery and legal discovery to harvest data insight to provide actionable legal intelligence.

“Heureka’s technology helps organizations gain clarity on their data by allowing them to search and analyze unstructured data without moving a single file,” shared Brad Jenkins, CEO of CloudNine. “This capability, when coupled with CloudNine’s eDiscovery automation software, allows organizations to gain insight on data from the point of creation and then to seamlessly conduct legal discovery with a full-featured eDiscovery platform once data is identified for preservation and collection. This true end-to-end solution spans both the information lifecycle and litigation lifecycle of data, speeding and simplifying the tasks of data and legal discovery.”

“One of the biggest challenges organizations face today is understanding the data they have and extracting insight and intelligence from that data,” said Nate Latessa, CRO of Heureka Software. “The combining of our endpoint approach to indexing and identifying data with CloudNine’s ability to take data, normalize it, and make it ready for evaluation provides users with a seamless solution that can be used to help organizations understand risks, identify opportunities, and reduce exposure throughout the information lifecycle.”

The CloudNine/Heureka partnership provides organizations an integrated and robust technology solution for assessing and reviewing data.

The benefit of this combined solution to organizations is that it helps answer questions like:

  • Where do I start if I want to understand my data? (Data Discovery)
  • How do I start if I need to review my data? (Legal Discovery)
  • How do I automate important discovery tasks to maximize effectiveness and efficiency? (Simplified Discovery Automation)

The partnership provides users with Simplified Discovery Automation that gives information, business, and legal professionals an integrated solution that automates eight core tasks that help organizations translate data discovery into insight, and insight into legal intelligence.

Divided into categories of Data Discovery (Insight) and Legal Discovery (Intelligence) these eight tasks include:

Data Discovery (Insight)

  • Interrogation of Data
  • Indexing of Data
  • Preservation of Data
  • Collection of Data

Legal Discovery (Intelligence)

  • Ingestion of Data
  • Processing of Data
  • Review of Data
  • Production of Data

These tasks are accomplished through the process integration of the Heureka Intelligence Platform and the CloudNine eDiscovery Platform. Combined, these offerings provide customers with a complete capability to discover data from the point of creation to defensible disposition. Information on the offering including offering capabilities, implementation requirements, security attributes, and subscription pricing along with use case discussions and demonstrations can be requested directly from CloudNine.

CloudNine and Heureka executives Doug Austin and Ron Copfer will be presenting an ACEDS webinar entitled “Simplified eDiscovery Automation: From Evolution to Revolution” on Thursday, November 3rd at 1pm EST. The presentation will include a demonstration of the complete CloudNine/Heureka offering. Click here for more information.

How to Avoid Getting “Burned” by Redactions: eDiscovery Best Practices

Having addressed this issue with a client recently, it seems appropriate to revisit this topic…

On the surface, it may seem easy enough to redact a document during eDiscovery review to obscure confidential or privileged information.  All you need to do is draw a black box over the affected text, right?  Not necessarily.  There’s a lot more to consider in order to ensure that you don’t inadvertently produce information that was intended to be redacted.  Here are a few things to consider to avoid getting “burned by redaction failures.

Failure to “Burn” the Redaction into the Image

If the redaction isn’t “burned” into the image so that it cannot be removed, the redacted data can still be viewed.  Especially when your images are Adobe Acrobat PDF files, the most common mistake is to redact by obscuring the text by drawing a black box over the text or images you want redacted.  A simple “cut and paste” can remove the black box, revealing the redacted text.  Acrobat provides a redaction tool (for those editing the PDF there) to properly apply a redaction – it’s best to save the file to a new name after the redaction has been applied.

If you’re using a review application to manage the review, the application should ensure a “burned in” redaction for anything exported or printed, regardless of whether it lets you look at the redacted data within the application itself.  For example, CloudNine provides a tool to enable the reviewer to draw a gray box over the text to be redacted so that text can still be viewed within the application.  However, if the file is exported or printed, that box gets “burned” in as a black box to completely obscure the redacted text.

Failing to Update Corresponding Text Files to Remove Redacted Text

Even if the image is handled properly, you can still disclose redacted text if you don’t make sure that the corresponding text file, whether extracted from the native file or generated via Optical Character Recognition (OCR), isn’t updated to remove the redacted text.  If you don’t update the corresponding text files, you’re allowing redacted text to slip through the production “back door”.  This happens more often than you might think.

Producing Un-Redacted Native Files

If you’re producing native files, you’ve hopefully discussed with opposing counsel how to handle native files that require redaction.  Typically, the approach is to convert those to an image format and redact the image.  Sometimes the parties agree to “redact” the native files themselves and produce those.  If so, as is the case with Adobe PDF files, there’s a right way and wrong way to redact native files.  Changing the text to white or the background to match the text color is not the same as redacting the text.  All you have to do is to revert back to the original formatting or simply highlight the affected area to see the redacted text.  Instead, you’ll want to agree on a procedure where the text is deleted or replaced with an equal amount of meaningless content (e.g., all “X”s) to preserve text flow and pagination (make sure track changes is off before redacting).  You may even want to agree to copy the entire content of a redacted document to a new file (to remove residual document composition information that might remain).

Failing to Redact Metadata

You may redact content on the document that you produce separately as metadata, via a load or data file.  Failing to check the produced metadata for redacted documents could enable redacted data to slip through.  So, don’t forget to check and remove any sensitive data here, as well.

Quality Control (QC) Check before Producing

Generally, when producing documents with redactions, you should have a checklist that ensures that image redactions are “burned” in, that redacted native files (if produced natively) are properly redacted, and that corresponding text files and metadata have been checked to ensure that redacted data has been removed from those as well.  Otherwise, you could be “burned” by inadvertent production of redacted materials.

P.S., to see what I “redacted” up above, highlight it with your cursor.  :o)

So, what do you think?  How do you handle redactions within your productions?  Do you have a process to QC check redactions before producing?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.

Considering All of the Considered TAR Responses: eDiscovery Trends

Our webinar panel discussion conducted by ACEDS a couple of weeks ago has generated some interesting discussion and debate over the past week or so about the content of the webinar, what it should have covered and what it was intended to cover.

The webinar panel discussion, titled How Automation is Revolutionizing eDiscovery was sponsored by CloudNine and presented on August 10 (here is a link to last week’s blog post with an embedded video of the webinar).  Our panel discussion provided an overview of eDiscovery automation technologies and we took a hard look at the technology and definition of TAR and potential limitations associated with both.  Mary Mack, Executive Director of ACEDS moderated the discussion and I was one of the panelists, along with Bill Dimm, CEO of Hot Neuron and Bill Speros, Evidence Consulting Attorney with Speros & Associates, LLC.

On the next day, ACEDS published A Considered Response from Gordon Cormack, which was a letter from Gordon Cormack, Professor with the School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada who is an expert in the area of technology-assisted review in litigation and has co-authored several influential works with Maura Grossman, a fellow researcher at the University of Waterloo (and, before that, an attorney with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz).  Cormack and Grossman authored the 2011 Richmond Journal of Law and Technology (JOLT) study (that I inaccurately referred to in the webinar as a “white paper” – sorry about that) titled Technology-Assisted Review in E-Discovery Can Be More Effective and More Efficient Than Exhaustive Manual Review, which was discussed to some extent during the webinar that both Cormack and Grossman attended.

In his letter, Dr. Cormack expressed several concerns about the content of the webinar, including their belief “that the webinar presented the false impression that we, and the courts, are resting on our laurels and that no legitimate empirical work has been done with respect to TAR.”  He provided links to several other works that have been authored by Cormack and Grossman that were not discussed during the webinar and also noted his opinion that the webinar lacked “any constructive suggestion as to how to proceed” (among other concerns he noted).

Then, last week, ACEDS also published responses from two of the presenters, Bill Speros (Reconsidering Dr. Cormack’s Considered Response) and Bill Dimm (ACEDS Commentary: Bill Dimm Responds to Gordon Cormack) where both “Bills” (Speros and Dimm) provided responses to the concerns that Dr. Cormack raised in his letter the previous week.

I feel that both Speros and Dimm made several good points in both clarifying the intended scope of the webinar and also in what we feel the webinar accomplished.  Dimm noted that “our goal was to deliver a large amount of information that is useful to a broad e-discovery audience within the confines of a 60-minute webinar” (of which about 40 minutes were devoted to TAR) and that we covered the JOLT report as extensively as we did (instead of other Cormack/Grossman works) “because it is the study that judicial opinions rely upon, and we’re not aware of any subsequent study comparing the quality (not merely the cost) of TAR results to those of human review.”

Speros identified several constructive suggestions that we felt the webinar provided, including “Clarifying the (general lack of) judicial acceptance of TAR”, “Differentiating alternative TAR techniques and technologies” and “Developing independent and valid TAR assessments”.  Speros also noted that “rather than attacking Dr. Cormack and his work, the webinar’s content spoke to the quality of the court’s interpretations [of the JOLT report] in a manner entirely consistent with thoughtful and professional analysis” – a position with which I agree wholeheartedly.

So, what is my response to Dr. Cormack’s letter?

As the other presenter in the webinar, I don’t have much to add to the responses provided by Speros and Dimm, except that they essentially reflect my own thoughts about the intent and accomplishments of the webinar.  Our goal was to challenge several industry-accepted assumptions about TAR and to take a look at the current state of acceptance of TAR, both judicially and within organizations contemplating the use of TAR.  And, I feel we accomplished that.

Nonetheless, I have tremendous respect, not just for my co-presenters, but also for Gordon Cormack and Maura Grossman and the numerous contributions that they have made to the industry through their research and various works (including the 2011 JOLT report).  I consider this to be a healthy discussion and debate among industry thought leaders and look forward to hopefully seeing that healthy discussion and debate continue.  I encourage you to view the webinar and read the commentaries by Cormack, Speros and Dimm and draw your own conclusions.

So, what do you think?  Do you have an opinion on the webinar or on the topic of TAR in general?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.

There’s a New TAR Case Law Primer Published by The Sedona Conference: eDiscovery Best Practices

One of the major topics discussed during last month’s panel discussion at The Masters Conference and also last week during our ACEDS webinar was the debate over the current state of judiciary acceptance of technology assisted review (TAR).  Whether intentional or not, to help with that debate The Sedona Conference® has just published the Public Comment Version of a new TAR Case Law Primer.

This was a project of The Sedona Conference Working Group on Electronic Document Retention and Production (WG1).  As noted in the Preface of the Primer, it is “the product of more than a year of development and dialogue within WG1. It was originally conceived as a chapter of a larger Commentary on the use of TAR in civil litigation, but the rapid development of the case law, the volume of court decisions, and the importance of those decisions in shaping legal practice in real time required that an exposition of the case law be made available on a faster timetable than WG1’s usual dialogue and consensus-building process allowed. For that reason, the Primer strives to present the case law in as neutral a fashion as possible. It avoids making any recommendations regarding particular TAR methodologies, nor does it propose any principles, guidelines, or best practices for TAR application, independent of those suggested by the courts themselves.”

The 33 page PDF file covers several topics related to Technology Assisted Review, including:

  • Da Silva Moore: Obviously as the first case to authorize the use of TAR, Judge Andrew Peck’s Da Silva Moore ruling merits its own section as a logical starting point, with the advantages of TAR and the emphasis on process (including advice to “follow the Sedona Cooperation Proclamation model”);
  • Other Courts’ Encouragement of the Use of TAR and Additional Cases Reflecting the Parties’ Use of TAR: The Primer touches on other cases where the use of TAR was either encouraged or used;
  • Disputed Issues Regarding TAR: This is the significant portion of the Primer, touching on issues ranging from efforts by requesting parties (and by courts) to compel the use of TAR, two contradictory decisions about whether it’s OK to switch to TAR in the middle of discovery, cases that address the appropriateness of using search terms to cull the document population before applying TAR, issues associated with disclosure of seed/training/validation sets and advance court approval of the use of TAR (such as the Dynamo Holdings case, which recently had another significant opinion about the results of the TAR process, despite cooperation between the parties).

The Primer also provides a review of evolving views of TAR and the state of international adoption, with discussion of both the Pyrrho Investments and Brown v BCA Trading cases.  The final section is an Index of Cases (at least those covered in the Primer).

The Conclusion section (just before the Index of Cases) offers this conclusion:

“While the case law reflects a broad consensus that TAR is an acceptable search and review methodology, certain issues regarding the details of its use remain unresolved. The general principles set forth in the cases discussed in this Primer should provide useful guidance to courts and parties seeking to use TAR to achieve the goals of Federal Rule 1 (the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of legal proceedings) and Rule 26(b)(1) (proportionality). The Bench and Bar should continue to actively monitor research and case law developments in this area.”

You can download the Primer here.  The Sedona Conference encourages Working Group Series members and others to spread the word and share this link so they can get comments in before the public comment period closes on October 15, 2016 (consider the word spread!). Questions and comments regarding the Primer may be sent to comments@sedonaconference.org.

So, what do you think? What do you consider to be the state of judicial acceptance of TAR?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.

Above the Law Highlights a Conversation with CloudNine’s Brad Jenkins

Extract from Above the Law article by Zach Abramowitz

Today, I’m chatting with CloudNine’s CEO Brad Jenkins to find out more about his company’s story, their approach to the cloud and the future of the ediscovery space.

Zach Abramowitz: Brad, thanks for joining me, tell me a bit of the background behind your company. When did you decide to pivot into software?

Brad Jenkins: Great question and, like most software companies, we had both a tactical reason and a strategic reason for deciding to invest in building our software solution.

The tactical catalyst for our development was simply a 10,000 box scan project where the client asked us how they could best manage their data once it was digitized. From that request, we began developing a custom solution to solve a specific customer problem, and that launched us down the road of software development.

From a strategic perspective, as a litigation services and support company founded in 2002, we certainly were aware of the print-to-digital and digital-to-discovery challenges and opportunities presented to providers over the last decade. Initially, we helped clients address eDiscovery challenges by aggregating best-of-breed technology and supporting that technology with a strong portfolio of professional services. Over time, we became highly aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the leading software platforms and began to develop our technology to address the core needs expressed daily by our customers. Those needs being speed, simplicity, and security. Addressing those underserved needs, we launched our initial software platform which has evolved into our SaaS-delivered CloudNine Simplified eDiscovery Automation platform.
