E-Discovery Client Profile: The Merrill Corporation

The Merrill Corporation, a leading provider of outsourced solutions for complex business communication and information management, recently launched its Merrill-Lextranetâ„¢ version 5.6 which features an integration with Cognition Technologies’ Semantic Search and discovery technology.

Cognition helps Merrill-Lextranet with early identification and review of key evidence, and enables their e-discovery clients (i.e. law firms) to conduct more meaningful content searches and uncover relevant evidence more quickly and at a lower cost.

Cognition improves Merrill-Lextranet’s review process by:

  • Reducing the number of documents needing manual review (i.e. culling out irrelevant and unrelated information);
  • Finding all documents about a given case issue, regardless of how the issue is worded (i.e. Cognition enables the user to search on concepts, not just key words);
  • Finding all documents in a richer set of documents with fewer unrelated or irrelevant documents, thereby saving significant Reviewer time and money;
  • Forming conceptual Booleans that organize the documents into case-issue related folders which are more conducive to review because all documents in the folder are about the same issue, and because there are fewer documents to review;
