Epiq Systems Incorporates Equivio>Relevance™ into its IQ Review™ eDiscovery Solution

Epiq Systems, Inc., a premier provider of technology solutions to the legal profession, and Equivio, the provider of software for managing data redundancy, today announced that Epiq has incorporated Equivio's proprietary document prioritization technology into IQ Review™.

New York, NY and Kensington, MD (PRWEB) November 17, 2009 -- Epiq Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ:EPIQ), a premier provider of technology solutions to the legal profession, and Equivio, the provider of software for managing data redundancy, today announced that Epiq has incorporated Equivio's proprietary document prioritization technology into IQ Review™.

Epiq's IQ Review™ solution provides lawyers with the ability to reduce the document collection that must be reviewed, identify responsive documents and prioritize them before review commences. This process facilitates early case assessment and allows attorneys to focus on strategy earlier in the discovery process, while significantly reducing review costs. As part of its IQ Review™ solution, Epiq Systems has integrated Equivio>Relevance™ into its proprietary discovery management platform, DocuMatrix™.

"Typically, less than 20 percent of documents in a collection are actually responsive to a given matter," said Greg Wildisen, International Managing Director, Epiq Systems. "Through its integration with Equivio>Relevance™, Epiq's IQ Review™ solution allows legal teams to concentrate their efforts on responsive documents. Using DocuMatrix™ review accelerators and customized workflows, IQ Review saves our clients significant time and money that would otherwise have been spent reviewing non-responsive material."

Equivio>Relevance™ is an expert-guided system that enhances the e-discovery process through automated document prioritization. Using statistical and self-learning techniques based on initial input from a lead attorney, Equivio>Relevance™ calculates relevance scores for each document in the data collection. By scoring the review set according to relevance rankings, Equivio enables the prioritization of documents so that attorneys can immediately zero in on the most relevant material.

"As a leading provider of innovative technology solutions for e-discovery and document review, Epiq offers solutions that introduce a higher level of flexibility and control into early case assessment, culling and review," said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. "With Equivio>Relevance™ technology included as a part of IQ Review™, Epiq clients will uncover key information at the outset of the review process, with enhanced accuracy and less effort."
