The Equivio Zoom platform integrates a number of the data analytics tools which gave Equivio its reputation, including email threads, near-duplicate detection, Equivio’s Relevance predictive coding tool and Equivio Themes. Zoom presents a clean attractive interface whose design criteria include the sensible notion that it should include nothing unnecessary.

Zoom has now reached Version 3.5 bringing enhancements to Relevance and a number of other new features including:

• Concurrent Relevance training: With V3.5, multiple reviewers can now work in parallel on different documents related to the same issue, substantially accelerating the Relevance training process.
• Instant Relevance samples: When training Relevance, the next training sample becomes available immediately after completion of the current sample. This allows for a continuous and more efficient training process.
• Precision booster: Equivio has enhanced the Relevance algorithm to significantly improve the level of precision without affecting other parameters. This reduces review costs by enabling the creation of a “cleaner” review set with fewer non-relevant documents.
• Unified search interface: The Zoom Explore capabilities — search, Themes, find similar, pivot bar, data faceting, etc. — are now seamlessly integrated for streamlined search, analysis and profiling of the collection.

The press release here includes an invitation to see a demonstration of Zoom V3.5 at LegalTech.

Whilst on the subject of Equivio, the series of educational webinars which it ran during the second half of last year is now available amongst the other resources on Equivio’s website. These webinars were highly rated by those who listened to them when they were live and I am glad to see that they have been collected together in this way.
