Unique in the industry, X1 Distributed Discovery upends the traditional collection process by analyzing ESI on a custodian’s assigned computer on a moment’s notice, prior to collection, enabling true early case assessment (ECA) and focusing collections as precisely as desired. X1 dramatically increases speed to review via direct upload to Relativity or other review platforms. For the first time ever, legal and IT teams can now instantly find, preserve and collect data remotely, test search terms, across hundreds of custodians, including desktops, laptops, file servers, cloud repositories, and other enterprise data sources like Dropbox and OneDrive, all prior to collection. Only with X1’s patented technology can legal teams and eDiscovery examiners execute keywords on ESI in place and receive statistics for potential responsiveness in a nearly instantaneous, iterative process, all before collection.
