DiscoverReady announced their new i-Decision automated document review solution at LegalTech this year. The software is designed to eliminate some of the human error and high cost of attorney hours invested in the document review process. If you've ever participated in a document review, you know that one of the major time components is sifting through information to determine what might or might not be relevant, followed by additional passes to determine relevance. i-Decision takes most of this guess work out by performing a full analysis of every document in the first pass, which more effectively eliminates irrelevant documents from final review stages. In the video interview, LexBlog CEO & Publisher, Kevin O'Keefe, talks with Steve Harber, co-founder of DiscoverReady, about i-Decision and how it can save time and money in document review.
