Merrill Corporation Introduces Advanced Analytics, Document Translation, Video Transcript Editing in Merrill Lextranet* 5.9 Case Management System
Intelligent Analytics, Integrated Translation Make Document Reviews Faster, Easier
ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Merrill Corporation (www.merrillcorp.com), a leading global provider of technology-enabled services for the financial, health care, real estate, legal and other corporate markets, today announced the release of Merrill Lextranet 5.9, which incorporates advanced intelligent analytics to speed document reviews and reduce discovery costs by analyzing and organizing documents around key terms, concepts and information flows. In addition, Merrill Lextranet 5.9 integrates non-English language translation into document review workflows.
The Merrill Lextranet case management system, part of Merrill's comprehensive suite of litigation support services, is used by top legal professionals to quickly search, organize, evaluate and share litigation-related information cost-effectively, from pre-discovery through trial.
Key new features of Merrill Lextranet 5.9 include:
Perform smarter, more efficient reviews through Merrill's visual clustering feature. Merrill Lextranet creates a logical "map" of your data by segmenting it into logical clusters. These intuitive data maps graphically identify key relationships between keywords, documents and custodians. This facilitates the rapid identification of potentially hot and privileged documents and provides insight into how they relate to each other for faster document review. |
|
This feature automatically captures complete email threads and ensures that they are coded uniformly. All versions and permutations of emails within a thread are identified, and any subsequent edits or redactions may be applied to all versions. Email Threading helps identify missing email documents and protect against the accidental disclosure of privileged information when responding to a legal hold or discovery request. |
|
Non-English language documents are quickly and accurately translated within the document review workflow. The new translation function within Merrill Lextranet automatically and securely exports documents for translation. Merrill Brink, one of the world's largest and most experienced language service providers, applies appropriate advanced machine and human translation to ensure contextually accurate results. Translated documents are returned within Lextranet and integrated into the existing workflow, providing seamless document management. |
|
Users can quickly and easily create clips from video depositions. Video clips are accompanied by the corresponding transcript excerpts, which are automatically synched to the video clip during playback. These new tools allow easier collaborative review of video assets, and save time and money in preparing video excerpts for trial or settlement presentations. |

"These Lextranet enhancements add the advanced functionality that our customers have told us they need to provide faster, better document reviews," said Daniel Pelc, senior director of product management for Merrill's Electronic Discovery Services. "Lextranet 5.9 helps document reviewers identify, organize and manage relevant documents faster and better. The intelligent analytics provide key insights into the content of documents and how they relate to each other, and quickly organizes them into relevant areas. Email threading helps ensure the relevancy and comprehensiveness of captured email threads. Document translation is handled quickly and seamlessly. The end result of these improvements is faster, more thorough document reviews, ultimately reducing time and cost for discovery."
