Lateral Data Announces Free Review Offer: 75 Seats of Select Viewpoint™ e-Discovery Modules at No Cost

HOUSTON, Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- e-Discovery technology leader Lateral Data, LP today announced the debut of a free linear review offer, a limited-time promotion offering free licensing of four select Viewpoint™ e-Discovery modules to law firms and corporate legal departments (up to 75 seats).  This free offer provides an unprecedented opportunity for law firms and corporations with no in-house review capabilities or using other 3rd party in-house e-Discovery review applications to begin using the industry's most innovative and complete end-to-end e-Discovery platform.

This free offer gives users access to four of Viewpoint's most valuable modules, all fully featured.  The modules, which employ an Outlook-style interface for easy, intuitive use, include:

• Linear Review for both simple and advanced reviews (75 seats)
• View Manager case management tools (75 seats)
• Reporting featuring over 50 pre-set reports
• Delivery to all standard load files

Key features found in the four modules include distributed full-text searching and metadata filtering (with Visual Index); domain and addressee filtering; full redaction; keyword highlighting; nested tagging; full security; foldering and assignment creation; and complete reporting using MS SQL Reporting.

"Lateral Data is pleased to be able to extend key elements of our Viewpoint platform to law firms and corporate legal departments who wish to experience the product's remarkable advantages," said Matt Berry, Founder and CEO of Lateral Data, LP.  "This is a no-risk, fast and easy way to see how Viewpoint, through its all-in-one interface, can transform the e-Discovery process. This is also a fantastic opportunity for users who are looking to upgrade their current in-house review applications to something more powerful but have not been able to justify the expense because of past investments in those other products."

Viewpoint, Lateral Data's flagship product, is a licensed solution that facilitates virtually all the major components of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) spectrum.  Certain capabilities present in the full platform (ECA, processing and production, near dupe, relationship analysis, RTA, email inclusion and concept analysis) are not part of the free offer and may be licensed for an additional fee.

Law firms and corporations may take advantage of this free offer from Lateral Data or from one of Lateral Data's Viewpoint channel partners.  To qualify for this free offer, all new data to be reviewed must be processed by one of Lateral Data's Viewpoint channel partners or by upgrading to the fully licensed version of the Viewpoint platform for in-house use.  However, the offer does include migration to Viewpoint of all data that currently resides in other 3rd party applications (regardless of where such data was processed).  A full listing of participating providers can be found at www.lateraldata.com/partner-program/partners/.  

"We believe this offer will give us and our Viewpoint channel partners an enormous advantage in the marketplace," said Guy Ladetzky, VP of Legal and Corporate Affairs for Lateral Data.  "The components included in this offer exceed the basic review packages currently available by other companies, so there is no reason to pay for linear review when an offer like this is presented."

Lateral Data's 75-seat free offer promotion does not include third-party software licenses, implementation or training, hardware or project management for importing.  To learn more, contact your participating Lateral Data service provider or call Lateral Data at (877) 592-8585.

Lateral Data will be exhibiting at LegalTech New York from January 31st to February 2nd at its display, Booth # 1511.  Please sign up for a demo in the Lincoln Suite on February 1st on the company website, www.lateraldata.com, or by clicking here.
