Catalyst CR, from Catalyst Repository Systems, bills itself as the first grid-based search, review and analytics platform for electronic discovery, litigation support and regulatory compliance. Providing its products to both corporations and large law firms, Catalyst CR is a Web-based application, and can be accessed wherever there is an Internet connection. Version 7.1 of Catalyst CR contains several new features, including a graphical workflow diagram, along with improved reporting capability.

Catalyst CR is easy to navigate, with an Outlook-style interface that is simple to use. Designed to assist legal teams with the large quantity of discovery documents that often are necessary in complex legal cases, Catalyst CR allows you to search,
review and analyze necessary documents.

The default search page contains a search wizard where you can enter simple search terms (e.g., "drug companies"). Using a search connector to link search terms also can be done by simply adding "and" or "or" between search terms. The Form Search option allows you to enter the appropriate information in the field you would like to search. There are over 20 different search fields available, including Author, Comments, DocID, Redacts, Sources, Subject, DocTypes, Reviewed Status and Witness, making it easy to obtain the results you need without extensive results filtering.
