Cambridge, MA—June 23, 2009—E-Discovery solution leaders—including IPRO, Clearwell Systems and Daticon EED—have integrated Basis Technology’s Rosette linguistics platform to add multilingual document processing to their e-discovery applications. Legal customers benefit from international language support features such as automatic language identification, Unicode compliance, multiple language search, entity extraction, and name translation and matching across languages and scripts.
“Litigation is a worldwide concern, and litigation support has to work with electronically stored information (ESI) that originates in many countries written in many languages. Even mid-sized companies are ‘multinationals’ now and legal discovery teams need to be equally at ease handling documents in different formats as well as different languages,” said Susan Feldman, Research Vice President, Search and Discovery Technologies of IDC. “E-Discovery vendors are following their customers’ needs by adding features to triage and analyze documents from these various sources.”
“Processing and culling down thousands of documents in multiple languages to the few relevant ones is no longer an unusual request in litigation discovery,” said Nick Patience, Research Director, Information Management at The 451 Group. “With the recent upheaval within the linguistic technology market, Basis Technology has emerged as the go-to provider of multilingual solutions for e-discovery solution providers.”
