I do not generally involve myself in the mechanics of eDiscovery software. I am not a user and I do not get involved in system selection, and am accordingly keen to leave the analysis of functionality to others.

I am on the record, however, as praising iCONECT’s XERA review platform for its obvious appeal to those who use it, appearing in the form of attractive and easily-navigated screens which are customisable to the use of reviewers with different requirements.

This matters for multiple reasons and not just because a happy user is often a better one. Anything which shaves a few seconds off the per document review time quickly adds up to significant savings in time and money.

iCONECT has focused very much on this since the launch of XERA, and the latest round of changes are aimed at maximising the potential of XERA’s processing power by improving the user experience. The specific changes are identified in this press release

iCONECT is good at online demonstrations, with regular events either according to a timetable or on demand. I will let you know when the new features are available for demonstration.
