Predictive Coding Experts Join Forces; DOAR Partners with OrcaTec for Best-in-Class eDiscovery and Information Governance

NEW YORK & ATLANTA --(Business Wire)--

DOAR Litigation Consulting LLC, whose CEO has been an expert on the use of predictive coding in two seminal cases on predictive coding, and OrcaTec, the predictive coding technology that was chosen to be used in a third nationally recognized predictive coding case, have announced their partnership.

Paul J. Neale, DOAR's CEO, was retained as an expert to advise on the use of predictive coding in both the Da Silva Moore and Kleen Products cases. The predictive coding in the OrcaTec Document Decisioning Suite™ was chosen by the defense in Global Aerospace, in which the judge ordered the use of predictive coding over the plaintiff's objection.

"We considered all of the predictive coding options available, and I am convinced that OrcaTec's smarter predictive coding, which doesn't require the use of key words or seed sets, is the one that will provide our clients with the best results, the most time and cost savings, and the highest degree of transparency and defensibility," said Neale. "In an increasingly crowded market, I believe that OrcaTec and DOAR will remain at the top of the pyramid of providers of advanced technologies."

OrcaTec CTO and Chief Scientist Herbert L. Roitblat, Ph.D. said that he, too, was pleased with the new partnership. "We are delighted to have our OrcaTec technology associated with people who are well-respected in the eDiscovery and big data arenas," he said. "Getting DOAR's stamp of approval by having OrcaTec integrated into the company's workflow shows that we truly are tops in predictive coding. But it also demonstrates OrcaTec's value in a number of other areas as well. OrcaTec is not simply predictive coding and eDiscovery and working with DOAR will showcase that."

DOAR will add the OrcaTec Document Decisioning Suite not just to eDiscovery, but also to its investigations, regulatory response, compliance and records management solutions. The partnership will enable DOAR to provide its clients with the time and cost savings of OrcaTec's predictive coding, and will also give them access to OrcaTec's advanced analytics, which help organizations and litigators understand the information they have more clearly in order to develop stronger strategies. The integration of this technology will further enhance DOAR's ESI (News - Alert) advisory and expert witness practice as well as strengthen its discovery management capabilities.

"Clients are increasingly presented with a raft of big data challenges related to legal and risk management, including eDiscovery cost containment, rapid effective responses to governmental inquiries, internal investigations, data privacy and intellectual property and trade secret management. The OrcaTec suite ensures that DOAR can assist clients in addressing those challenges comprehensively, transparently and accurately," said Gerard Britton, Managing Director at DOAR. "OrcaTec's solutions allow us to design processes with clients to move through enormous amounts of unstructured data quickly and productively, reducing cost and time to complete tasks."
