Inference Data Issues "What Is Discovery Analytics?" Whitepaper

NEW YORK, NY (January 21, 2009) – Inference Data today published "What Is Discovery Analytics?", a whitepaper written by Inference president and electronic discovery technology expert Nicholas Croce.  The company’s latest white paper addresses several key issues facing the legal and eDiscovery industries today, specifically the confusion and varied definitions pertaining to the term "analytics" and concerns over the defensibility of using analytics software in large-scale litigation.   By breaking down the different ways analytics technology is being defined and applied in the newest generation of electronic discovery tools, Croce provides a guide for evaluating and comparing electronic discovery systems and their capabilities.

“Analytics has become a common buzzword across the eDiscovery vendor landscape, and how the term and the technology are applied varies tremendously,” says Croce. "We have reached the point in eDiscovery evolution where the courts are recognizing the limitations of certain types of systems and calling attention to issues such as the accuracy and efficiency of concept versus keyword searching. You really need to have a full understanding of the different analytics-driven capabilities before deciding what the right tool is for your case."

Inference Data’s newest whitepaper is available for free download at www.inferencedata.com and  published copies of "What Is Discovery Analytics?" will be available at LegalTech NY, booth #1307, February 2-4 in the Hilton New York.
