Catalyst: Powering Complex Legal Matters

For over a decade, Catalyst has helped corporations and counsel manage e-discovery and work together on complex legal matters. Our secure, grid-based systems deliver the power you need to handle the largest matters in the world—from multi-language litigation to multi-party regulatory investigations. No other provider can match Catalyst’s speed, scalability and features.

You get an integrated, easy-to-use platform with the tools and capabilities needed for global legal, insurance and regulatory matters. From processing and culling, through search, analysis, review and production, we provide the control of a local appliance, but with more power and lower costs.

High-Performance Search, Analytics and Review

Catalyst CR runs on a grid of servers working in parallel to deliver sub-second search response—even for complex queries running against millions of documents. Reviewer speeds regularly reach hundreds of documents per hour, cutting review time and costs dramatically. Loading and indexing are continuous, bringing you document updates in real time without ever having to shut down the system.

Tools Designed for Legal Professionals

CR provides an integrated platform to manage the heart of the litigation lifecycle, all from a single, web-based system that you control from start to finish.

· Process. Fast Track Automated Processing allows you to submit native files for processing and loading directly into Catalyst CR. Fast Track will process, load and index the files and make them available for search and review.

· Search. The Catalyst Search Grid spans multiple servers, each working together to
bring back results quickly, usually in under a second, even for large, complex queries. Build your searches using any combination of fields and text, including date and Bates number ranges, proximity and wild cards. Searches can have as many as 60,000 characters.

· Analyze. Use our Catalytics™ suite of analytical tools to reduce document sets and cluster similar documents for faster and more effective review. Equivio integration provides near-dupe capabilities and advanced email threading to further speed up your review.

· Review. After culling documents using CR’s powerful search engine, you can folder the results in batches and assign them for review. Using our Assigned Review Workflow Module, administrators can create custom review steps and automatically move documents from stage to stage. Track review progress and reviewer productivity with graphical reports.

· Redact. Catalyst’s web-based redaction system requires no special software or proprietary connections to use. Configure redaction messages, colors and fonts to support case needs. It supports multiple redaction sets, automatic duplicate redaction and the ability to save only redacted pages.

· Produce. Use Integrated Production folders to create native, PDF and TIFF productions with industry-standard load files. Our server grid supports massive conversions, OCR, text extraction, stamping and numbering efforts.
