Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 29, 2010 -- Rosen Technology Resources, an award-winning litigation support consulting and software company, is pleased to announce the release of Polaris™, a near-duplicate tool which identifies, groups, and provides a review order for near-duplicate documents, according to similarity thresholds established by a user. Polaris looks at the content, not format, of documents to determine similarity. In addition to providing the standard grouping and best representative data which is typical of near-duplicate analysis, Polaris provides data which reveals relationships beyond those available from traditional near-duping applications, resulting in saved time and cost during the document review process.

Polaris Near-Duplicate Technology

Lisa Rosen, President of Rosen Technology Resources said, “We are incredibly excited to launch Polaris, as it truly is the next waypoint in the evolution of near-duplicate technology."

Polaris was created to reduce the cost of litigation document discovery and review, as well as decrease the amount of time spent on review. As the size and scope of document collections grow, so does the cost and time associated with those collections. Polaris provides a solution that will decrease the costs associated with electronic discovery, while also decreasing the amount of time reviewing duplicate documents. Some of the features that Polaris provides are described below:

Polaris fingerprints documents, compares them, and then groups those document fingerprints together which are most similar

Within each group of similar document fingerprints, Polaris identifies the one fingerprint which is most representative of the entire group. We call this a Master document. And beginning with the most representative document, Polaris orders the remainder of the documents within the group from most similar to least similar. This creates a Master Sort, so that the attorneys have the ability to view documents that belong together, rather than the typical review, which is usually based upon bates numbers or document IDs.

Additional families are then identified, allowing the reviewer to view similar document collections together, all providing a distinct review order so that the documents that belong together can be reviewed together.

For the law firms processing electronic data in-house, Polaris is a perfect addition to their litigation support arsenal. Law firms hoping to decrease the costs associated with document reviews could easily decrease their costs, especially those costs associated with document hosting. Polaris is also a perfect addition for government agencies. And for those service providers hoping to add value to their deliverables, Polaris is the tool that can set them apart from their competitors.

   Lisa Rosen, President of Rosen Technology Resources said, “We are incredibly excited to launch Polaris, as it truly is the next waypoint in the evolution of near-duplicate technology. Due to the nature of today’s document collections, near-duplicate technology has become a recognized need. However, most firms do not invest in the technology because of the high cost of implementation. Polaris is a cost-controlled solution that should be leveraged on all cases, and frankly creates a cost-savings by streamlining the review process.”

   Polaris works well with OCR from scanned images or extracted text from electronic documents/native files. In either case, it can also be used as a standalone application, or run within common review platforms, including but not limited to LexisNexis Concordance and CT Summation.
