Web-based platform works seamlessly with mobile devices and tablets

cicayda, a software and litigation support services company delivering 100% cloud-based eDiscovery applications, today announced the availability of the cicayda eDiscovery software suite including cicayda review, staccato (early and constant case assessment), drone (production analyzer), and fermata (legal hold management).

The feature-complete private cloud-based platform for processing, review, analysis, and production works in any modern web browser as well as on mobile devices, including the iPad and other tablets.

cicayda delivers a feature-complete platform for processing, review, analysis, and production, offers reasonable and transparent pricing, plus a keen focus on speed and ease of use.  The availability of the full cicayda eDiscovery suite was preceded by the Nashville-based company's successful fermata legal hold management product launch in late January. This was the first of a series of cicayda's easy to use and ‘pay-as-you-need’ e-discovery tools. The company also offers expertly managed eDiscovery services and consulting in a smart, professional manner.

The cicayda suite of applications, eDiscovery software in a private cloud, includes the following:

• staccato: cicayda's Early Case Assessment (“ECA”) and Constant Case Assessment ("CCA") tool– leverage technology to assess your data early in order to make an informed decision that properly weighs the risks and costs of prospective as well as ongoing litigation. With staccato, you are always ready to answer the most strategic question at any point in the life of that case.  That being, should you put up a fight or craft an intelligent and effective exit strategy?
• drone: Cicayda's Production Analyzer; a web application that quickly analyzes and smart searches electronic data productions, giving lawyers an immediate preview of key people, organizations, dates, and other entities and how they are related. With drone, the recipient of a digital production is no longer at a disadvantage, but instead gains prime advantage over the producer of the data. This product is unique to the eDiscovery marketplace.
• cicayda review: From data collection and ingestion, cicayda review empowers users to do it all. It features 1/3 second search and 1/10 second document navigation, compared to competitors’ advertised speeds of 3–4 second search and 1–2 second document navigation. This results in 10x faster search and document navigation speeds. The product scales up allowing for hundreds of concurrent users.
• fermata: cicayda’s cloud-based legal hold management product that fits easily into existing legal hold compliance workflows, allowing in-house counsel and legal IT departments to manage the entire legal hold communications process. The simple and intuitive user interface, flexible, ‘pay-as-you-go’ pricing options, and accessibility based on its cloud-based nature, make it unique among legal hold offerings. Also consistent with cicayda’s “lean” development, 30+ enhancements to fermata have been made since its debut, most of which were customer-driven.

cicayda’s managed professional services offer everything from transparent, low pricing on data reduction and culling all the way to eDiscovery audits of companies’ and law firm’s eDiscovery processes and spending. Like cicayda’s software products coming with no upfront fees, no seat or user fees, and no minimums, cicayda’s services offerings arrive with no tack-on fees or hidden terms.

“cicayda’s mission is to deliver to lawyers and litigation support professionals our concept of ‘intelligent lawyering’ with innovations in eDiscovery software focused on contemporary web design, user experience, scalability, functionality, while bringing economic sensibility to the eDiscovery world," stated Roe Frazer, cicayda’s CEO, veteran trial lawyer and former CaseLogistix CEO. "The eDiscovery space desperately lacks 'price sanity' ... cicayda is our response to bringing pricing transparency to the eDiscovery software market. Market disruption, in price and performance, is our governing philosophy, with all our deliverables embracing a consumer-friendly look, feel, and functionality. We believe in putting the human, or the lawyer in this case, first and foremost, rather than machine.”

The full cicayda solution will be on display at the annual ILTA Conference, August 19-22, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
