eDiscovery software providers are increasingly recognising, and publicly, the role which their partners play in giving technical support and other benefits to the users of their software.

I have mentioned Equivio and kCura recently in this context, both of whom have formal designations for those who work with them. iCONECT has a similar programme and has recently given a Platinum Partner award to Avansic and a Silver Partner award to DTI.

As I reported recently, iCONECT has a new version of its XERA review platform out, with enhancements designed to make it easier – and therefore quicker – for reviewers to understand what documents they have and what their significance is.
