“RVM has grown tremendously over the past year.

RVM Inc. has integrated Equivio’s software for detection and grouping of near-duplicate documents and email threads into its proprietary Revelation™ litigation support and data processing platform. Equivio’s technology enables RVM to streamline its E-Discovery services by eliminating data redundancy.

New York, NY (Vocus) September 27, 2010

RVM, Inc. (RVM), a provider of legal technology consulting, data forensics and litigation support services, today announced its adoption of Equivio’s technology for grouping of near-duplicates and email threads. By eliminating data redundancy, the Equivio solution enables RVM to streamline its electronic discovery services.

RVM has integrated Equivio’s software for detection and grouping of near-duplicate documents and email threads into its proprietary Revelation™ litigation support and data processing platform. RVM intends to use Equivio technology as a standard component of its electronic discovery workflow.

“Our electronic discovery services help clients to quickly, cost-effectively, and accurately winnow down electronic data to the most relevant, responsive, and accessible evidence,” said Vincent Brunetti, CEO at RVM. “By integrating Equivio’s best-of-breed technology for near-duplicate detection and email thread analysis with our high performance Revelation platform, we are able to expedite the processing of large-scale document review projects.”

The grouping of near-duplicates and email threadsallows attorneys to skip redundant data, while focusing exclusively on the unique information in each document. By enhancing the ease of data identification, Equivio reduces the risk of missing key information. The Equivio groupings also ensure similar documents are treated consistently, increase review productivity and help litigators meet tight deadlines.

“Exploding information volumes are a given in today’s litigation market. Equivio offers technologies that tackle this challenge head on – dramatically reducing the complexity and costs of electronic discovery and review,” said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. “We are delighted to partner with RVM. RVM clearly understands the need for innovative solutions that untangle document clutter and simplify the litigation process.”

Small boutique law firms have not escaped the wrath of e-discovery. Judges expect all attorneys from the top AmLaw list to solo practitioners to do their due diligence for e-discovery. Yet small firms remain overlooked and under-served by the vendor community. In this competitive market, e-discovery vendors have instead turned most of their attention to big law firms, hoping to land the next mega case.
 
At RVM, we like to tread in a different path from the masses. We understand the challenges faced by smaller law firms that do not have the dedicated litigation support and IT resources to navigate the e-discovery mine field. We understand that the needs and concerns of smaller law firms may not be the same as the big law firms. RVM’s team of expert consultants is adept at bridging the gap between the complex technologies that are often associated with eDiscovery, and the non-technical legal professionals who need to review the data. Our professional Services team has been engaged to assist in every facet of the Discovery process, bringing advanced technologies from our arsenal such as EnCase, FTK, ClearWell and Relativity among others, to the reaches of those small firms that would otherwise have been excluded due to their limited resources.
 
By working hand-in-hand with our smaller legal and commercial clients, RVM has developed a trusted partnership with them, which has resulted in our becoming their go-to advisors for any technology concerns. If your small law firm needs help, call RVM and let us show you the difference that we can make.

RVM has continued to advance its development of native processing of Lotus Notes data. Recently, RVM handled a project involving hundreds of gigabytes of Lotus Notes Mail databases. Due to the large volume of data and the client’s need to review in a native format RVM’s developed a custom solution to meet their needs. Responsive mail messages were funneled into a new subset database while maintaining unique IDs throughout the process. This enabled the client to use existing tools such as Lotus Notes Client which allowed for multiple users to review data that came from the same source. RVM Inc looks forward to future endeavors with the client and seeks new challenges to be presented.

Most recently, RVM has upgraded its e-data processing software, Revelation™, to the latest version of Lotus Notes, 8.5.
