The rate at which new technology is hitting the market feels like its constantly accelerating – particularly within the eDiscovery space. Thanks to exponentially increasing data volumes, seemingly endless proliferation of communication channels, and growing reliance on mobile devices, lawyers and investigators need every technological advantage they can get to keep eDiscovery costs from spiralling out of control.
The trouble is, working 60-hour weeks litigating or investigating makes it more than a little tricky to stay abreast of a constantly evolving technology landscape. Where do you find the time to seek out the latest innovations and put them through their paces to separate the hot air from the hot stuff?
That’s where Salient comes in.
As eDiscovery specialists, a core part of our role is uncovering and exploring new technology and fresh methodologies. Our team loves nothing more than unravelling the technical intricacies of emerging technologies to add new products and approaches to our arsenal of leading- and bleeding-edge eDiscovery tools.
Our curiosity and attention to detail led us to explore the entire marketplace before settling on an eDiscovery platform to use. There were big, established players that were the obvious choice on the surface. However, closer investigation soon showed that the most exciting developments were actually coming from a different source: Reveal.
Reveal’s customisable, trainable AI models could be applied not just to review, but also to early data analysis. This offered extraordinary potential to categorise and prioritise data earlier in the EDRM, reducing data volumes and curbing downstream costs. Reveal’s innovative content enrichment, enhanced review and reporting also proved remarkably effective at accelerating review – assisted by some truly world-class data visualisations.
Perhaps even more importantly, Reveal, as a company, demonstrated ongoing commitment to innovation and continuous platform improvements. This was evident when Generative AI (GenAI) started to make headlines in 2023, and the world started using (and talking about) ChatGPT. Seeing the potential of large language models (LLMs) in eDiscovery, litigation and investigation, Reveal has been quick to integrategenerative AI capabilities into their platform.
But Reveal aren’t alone in this.
There are a plethora of interesting developments in the GenAI space that could directly enhance eDiscovery services and Salient continues to keep abreast of the evolving market. Some very point solutions to specific needs, as well as more generic offerings from the likes of Microsoft who continue to leverage their Co-Pilot solution more broadly across the M365 and Purview ecosystem. But we make it our mission to remain informed, so we can share those insights with our customers.
That quest doesn’t stop at the technology, either. Our team is always eager to learn new approaches and technologies, or build new visualisations that will help our clients get the insights they need faster than ever.
Why? Because, at Salient, we don’t just do eDiscovery. We have the experience to recognise valuable innovation when we see it, and to leverage it – along with our own “data smithing” muscles – to gleefully tackle any document, data or investigatory analysis challenge that comes our way. So, next time you find yourself with a tricky problem to solve, let us help frame the challenge and find the most effective, expedient, and cost-efficient solution, the Salient way.
