identify smoking guns, assess likely
outcome
– Accelerate try/settle decisions

We mostly do investigations. We’re deep in emails trying to figure out what someone’s been doing. We
just want to quickly see all the emails sent to a certain domain, the attachments, and calendar entries
someone shared.

If we could promote to multiple [workspaces], it would be a big benefit to us. A lot of custodians repeat in different workspaces.

We could use this on those repeated custodians you want to move from case to case. You could
move portions of their data into various workspaces because you have to use them time
and time again.
We have terabytes of data that we continuously use and don’t want to reprocess everything.

Problems with current solution(s)?
• Reprocessing custodians
• Multiple tools for collection - review
• Access data quickly in an investigation
• Auditability throughout the process
• Fixed workflows/ no customization for
individual cases
• Inability to leverage full analytics in ECA
• How can we reuse expensive work product for
future investigations
How does Relativity ECA solve these?
• “Super database” structure
• One product end to end
• Speed to review (link)
• Full audit / leverage audit records in data grid
• Relativity’s customizable workflows, dashboards,
sampling and batching
• Full power of Relativity analytics suite in ECA
• Relativity integration points

How to run an ECA in Relativity? Sample investigation

Scenario:
We have reason to believe that there
was improper business practices or
fraud occurring. We believe this fraud
occurred between January 2000 and
December 2003. Based on our
evidence, have a set of terms which
will show whether we have cause to
move forward. If we do, we’ll promote
the relevant documents for review.
We have been told about a couple of
key custodians, one being “Andrew
Lewis” and also to monitor any
communication with BNP (a foreign
bank).
Steps:
1. Validate collection
2. Clear out the noise
3. Identify relevant documents for
promotion
4. Promote relevant documents to review
5. Perform some analysis on key
custodians and domains of interest
6. Pass coding values back from review to
ECA
