10:30 AM - 11:45 AM - Analytics: The Revolution will be Visualized
Many generally understand the concept of analytics, but don’t know how to apply these technology advancements to the practice of law. Data mining technology, and the visual representation of mined data, offer a paradigm shift for how legal teams can uncover key facts. These technologies can quickly and effectively reveal the small subset of critical data in a universe of hundreds of millions of emails, effectively circumventing comprehensive review or greatly accelerating the review process.
Attendees will learn about common analytical and visualization technology and how to apply these tools to speed fact-finding and reduce e-discovery costs.
