Nuix3 Launches Genuine On-Demand Early Case Assessment for Law Firms
23 June 2010
Nuix, a worldwide provider of electronic discovery and investigation technology, today launched its latest eDiscovery platform, Nuix3, which offers a streamlined package of eDiscovery tools and techniques to revolutionize the way organizations undertake Early Case Assessment (ECA). Nuix3’s superior performance, including faster processing speeds and more powerful and sophisticated search, coupled with an intuitive and simple-to-use new interface, enables lawyers to take control of their eDiscovery process and deliver fact-based answers to their clients in record time.
“Attorneys don’t want to be technologists, they want to be attorneys,” said Stephen Stewart, Nuix’s CTO. “Nuix3 addresses the increasing frustration with legacy technology’s inability to model the way attorneys work,” said Stewart.
Nuix3 enables lawyers to take control of their eDiscovery process while using their legal skills to full advantage. Following extensive research and customer consultations, Nuix3’s user interface design was based on Microsoft Outlook, the interface most familiar to lawyers and investigators.
“Anyone who knows how to use email can operate Nuix3. We took our deep understanding of electronic discovery and combined that with familiar features and functions from programs like Microsoft Outlook to make the user experience as simple and intuitive as possible,” said Eddie Sheehy, Nuix’s CEO.
“Clients no longer need to associate Early Case Assessment with a collection of reports delivered within a week. Nuix3 allows attorneys to access a terabyte of data in a fully searchable, indexed fashion overnight. Early Case Assessment can return to its core values - accessing the facts and merits of the case,” concluded Sheehy.
One of the primary goals of Nuix3 is to facilitate Rapid Investigative Review™, whereby a group of attorneys can quickly access data, perform a rapid investigation and organize the results. With immediate results, attorneys can then break up the case and perform a detailed fact-based review. With Nuix3 attorneys can even run the entire process in a judge’s chambers or at a client’s data center.
Nuix offers the world’s most advanced eDiscovery solution, which operates at speeds twenty times faster on average than its competitors, while utilizing a much smaller hardware footprint. This has benefits including reducing the energy, man hours and processing power necessary to investigate and review data. It also has the broadest language and file-type compatibility of any eDiscovery software on the market.
"A common vision for control and governance of email and documents that will satisfy legal requirements and address cost and feasibility concerns from the IT department is slowly emerging. The publication of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) has helped a great deal by codifying the common components that the legal department needs and that IT must provide." 
"The persistence of temporary backup files for four days presents obvious security and privacy issues. If such files contain sensitive, confidential, or otherwise privileged information, their existence can expose a law firm to malpractice risk, court sanctions, or other serious problems / penalties
"The UK Legal market is certainly not a leader in Social Networking but one or two firms are using some of the tools such as Linkedin, Blogs, Twitter and a couple are experimenting with Facebook as a consumer facing marketing tool. "
