Forensic Insight, Navigation & Discovery (F.I.N.D.) (download PDF version)

Reviewing large amounts of digital documents and unsure what to search for or what is in the documents? Find important information contained in the documents using F.I.N.D!

F.I.N.D is a powerful and advanced linguistic discovery and search application that processes any digital document (i.e., emails, spreadsheets, Word, PowerPoint, etc.), finding important concepts that may otherwise remain undiscovered. Leveraging F.I.N.D's powerful search and discovery functionality will give an enterprise many advantages while significantly improving productivity and reducing the substantial time (weeks now reduced to hours) and internal resources that would otherwise be required in order to discover relevant and important information, including information that the user did not necessarily know they were looking for when commencing the discovery review process.

Some of F.I.N.D.'s key features include:

• Significantly reducing the time and level of effort required to review large amounts of digital documents (weeks are reduced to days, and days are reduced to hours).
• Provides a strategic insight into the contents of documents before beginning a detailed review - greater preparedness from the start of any project.
• Flexible stand-alone and client/server implementation versions to accommodate any IT environment.
• Highly customizable database and application integration with Client's back office systems and applications.
• Continuous processing capabilities so that real time data and documents, e.g. emails and email attachments, web sites, etc., can be reviewed in real time enterprise environments, e.g. policy based restricted email servers, internet data gathering, etc.
• Scalable and customizable vocabulary for industry specific implementation.
  

For example, as an enterprise is confronted with the task to evaluate 50,000, 500,000 or more digital documents and determine relevant information in these documents, F.I.N.D.'s powerful linguistics discovery engine will process the documents, finding important concepts, and will present the users with the discovered results in an easy-to-use display for review, while also eliminating the need for users to conduct a cumbersome, often exhausting, and seemingly endless "keyword" search.

Typical keyword searches are usually either: (i) too narrow, and miss important and relevant documents; or (ii) too broad and generate too many results, whereby all paragraphs and sentences containing a specific key word will be displayed. The users must then filter through each instance where that key word was used without regard to the key word's context and importance. As a result, this can create a seemingly endless list of results for the users; all the while business costs skyrocket, productivity and efficiencies are compromised, and the necessary people and internal resources that are required in order to review all the documents and determine the significance of their contextual relevance causes a daunting strain on resources and personnel, precipitating discovery management challenges. These typical challenges can seriously jeopardize critical deadlines not being met and increase the real risk of important, pertinent information being missed during the discovery process.

F.I.N.D.'s superior method of discovery and review eliminates the shortcomings of cumbersome and highly inefficient key word searches and provides significant advantages to an enterprise that desires to improve productivity, reduce costs, and expedite the discovery process without the risk of missing important and relevant content using static “keyword” searches.

F.I.N.D.'s search and discovery engine does not require the use of keyword searching, as important and relevant concepts are displayed in a manner similar to an index in the back of a book. In a book index, for example, the index does not contain every occurrence of every word in the document; rather, it only contains important concepts, allowing the user to expedite the process to find the information they are looking for, and during the process, uncover relevant information and content that they may not have known to search for from the onset of the the discovery process.

Whether using F.I.N.D. for research, corporate compliance, email retention, pre- or post-litigation document review, forensic accounting, medical research, or other enterprise discovery challenges, F.I.N.D. will be a powerful and significant advantage to any enterprise by discovering key concepts that would otherwise remain undiscovered.
