DiscoveryPartner
A full-featured, automated workflow platform for discovery and investigations.
DiscoveryPartner is a full-featured, automated discovery workflow platform designed to help manage complex investigations and ediscovery workflow. It automates critical stages of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), from data processing and loading through search, analysis, review and production.
Making Discovery Efficient and Effective: Our DiscoveryPartner platform helps make discovery more efficient and effective by automating key workflow processes including search, review and production. Use Freeform Search to find relevant documents without struggling with complicated Boolean syntax. Use our Review Workflow Module to create review stages and move documents seamlessly through the process. And use our Production Module to folder and execute the entire production process, including document conversion, stamping, load file creation and handling privileged or confidential documents.

Here is a look at some of the key workflow automation features that set DiscoveryPartner apart.
Customizable Dashboard Reports
Dynamic and Customizable Dashboards
DiscoveryPartner allows you to create dashboards for each user group. Choose from specialized reports, recent searches and review tags with up to nine options across three columns.
Multi-Party from Start to Finish
We designed DiscoveryPartner to support multi-party litigation including complex criminal matters. Different defense (or plaintiff) groups can work together through one site while protecting the confidentiality of individual work product. These multi-party features come standard with each site:
- Private Tags: Each group can have its own set of tags (single or multi-select or text) to preserve work product. Each is isolated but can be searched, viewed, analyzed and reported on by group members.
- Private Folders: Each group member can create private folders, sharing them with the group or individuals within the group. Several parties can create shared folders as well.
- Private Searches: Each group member can create private searches, sharing them with the group or individuals within the group. Several parties can create shared searches as well.
- Private Analytics: Our AI capabilities are locked down as well such that they can be tied to group roles or individual users. Thus, each team can work together on a Sherlock Find or Analyze project, keeping those efforts separate from other parties.
- Private Reports and Dashboards: Reports can be shared with individuals or groups to ensure they remain confidential. Once shared, reports can be added to a customizable dashboard as well.
Each team can work together yet independently through group roles which determine which services and functions they can access for editing and viewing. Teams can also build separate review workflows, accessible only to group members.
Our largest matter to date involves about fifteen different defendants, with each counsel team working separately but benefitting from shared expenses for the site.
