Reduce Total E-Discovery Costs With the Catalyst Platform

As the volume of electronic documents increases, so do the costs of electronic discovery. Collection, processing, culling, review and production costs now run to the tens of billions of dollars. Our clients are looking for better ways to bring discovery costs under control.

With Catalyst, clients no longer have to buy and support expensive hardware and software, nor hire staff to manage it. They also save on on overall discovery costs because they can take advantage of one of the fastest and most powerful systems on the market. We invite you to compare the economics of our secure, hosted software platform with any other option on the market.

Delivered On Demand

We deliver our software On Demand, as a secure, hosted service. That means our clients aren't forced to purchase expensive hardware and software. Rather, they can plug into our software grid when they need it, for as long as they need it. It also means they don't have to buy excess capacity just in case they need it later. With Catalyst, you get the capacity you need, when  you need it.

Our clients also save on staffing costs. With a local appliance, you have to hire experts to install and run your system, to support your users and to ensure it stays secure from outside intruders. These people remain on staff whether or not your matters are active. If they leave for other opportunities, you have to hire and train again. And, you have to cover nights, weekends and vacation time. One employee becomes three; Three employees become ten.

Secure, Integrated Platform

We provide a single, integrated platform that covers the heart of the discovery lifecycle—from processing through production and trial. You save by not having to move data from vendor to vendor, avoiding redundant costs. You also benefit from fewer mistakes in handling your data.

Corporations can connect their law firms and save on centrral case and matter repositories through reuse and consistent tagging. Law firms can connect extended teams and build professional networks to handle work more efficiently. Everyone benefits from industrial-strength systems that can be up and running in minutes and accessed anytime, from anywhere.

Faster Search

Catalyst has always been known for speed. Our systems run on a grid of hundreds of servers and thousands of processors working in parallel to deliver sub-second responses against millions of documents.

We asked New Idea Engineering, one of the leading Silicon Valley search consulting firms, to benchmark our system. They measured search speed against 15 million documents containing approximately 60 million pages. The tests involved some 200,000 queries of between 500 and 750 terms.

Fully 99.9065% came back in under a second. Most of the rest came back in under 2 seconds. You can read their report here.

Powerful Analytical Tools

Our powerful search is enhanced by our Catalytics suite of analytical tools that help you pare down review sets, find key documents, identify confidential or privileged documents, remove spam and analyze large document populations. Using techniques we pioneered over the years, we have regularly reduced document populations by as much as 80% before passing them on to manual review. With review costs making up as much as 80% of e-discovery costs, this is the quickest and most direct way to reduce your overall spend.

Faster Review

With Catalyst, review speeds regularly reach hundreds of documents per hour, cutting review time and costs dramatically. An independent statistical analyst found that Catalyst CR enabled reviewers to complete an average of 142 documents an hour—a pace that is twice the industry standard.

Catalyst CR gives you more power to manage and monitor the review. Folder search results in batches and assign them for review. Using the Assigned Review Workflow Module, create custom review workflow steps and automatically move documents from stage to stage. Track review progress and reviewer productivity with our graphical reports.

Fully Automated

We've automated our system from processing through production and put the controls in our clients' hands. Manage your site using our automated processes and controls. Process and load documents, set up users, apply security rights, create forms and design your own review workflow.

By putting you in control, we've made it easier for you to meet tight deadlines, with fewer mistakes and at lower overall cost. Plus, your data stays with one vendor from start to finish—no complicated hand offs or delays and less risk of errors. That translates to fewer mistakes and lower e-discovery costs.

The Catalyst Advantage: An On Demand, Integrated System that Delivers Lower Overall Costs

Our grid-based systems help make professional teams more efficient and effective, which adds up to lower overall e-discovery costs for our clients. By delivering our systems On Demand, we help our clients reduce capital expenditures and save on staffing costs. Pay for what you need, when you need it. That's the Catalyst Advantage.
