PR185989 - Conquering Your Productions: Take Charge Like a Boss! Let’s face it: Productions can be incredibly painful. Time is rarely on your side, there’s a low tolerance for error, and surprises pop up out of nowhere causing all kinds of challenges. It hurts! But it doesn’t have to be like this. With a little early planning and preparation, you can roll out productions with ease and save time (and your sanity).

The key is to structure your review with productions in mind. In this session, we’ll go over what you need to know at the onset of a project, how to drive a focused and targeted review workflow, as well as the efficiencies gained through creating a series of dynamic searches meant to complement each other in driving review, imaging, and production needs. We’ll also examine how Analytics, specifically email threading and near-duplicate identification, can enhance QC and minimize inconsistencies.

Throughout the presentation, based on an example review and production protocol, we’ll construct the ultimate set of saved searches to identify the production-ready population as well as those sets of documents that need additional attention so you’ll always know exactly where you stand. 1 Hour Lecture Erika Namnath - California, H5

PR251236 - Death of the In/Out Pricing Model A little over ten years ago the adoption of what is commonly referred to as the "in/out" pricing model was born. In essence, service providers would charge a one-time per gigabyte rate for ingesting and indexing containerized source data (the "in"), apply search terms, then publish all remaining data to a review workspace. The volume of data that survived search term culling would carry another one-time per gigabyte processing charge (the "out"). Recent advancements in e-discovery software combined with new rules have rendered this pricing model, and disjointed workflow, obsolete. However, many buyers are still clinging to the status quo. This presentation takes a 30,000-foot view at how and why the old pricing model came about, then presents a step-by-step guide through a real-world scenario leveraging the latest technology with a more streamlined approach. The end result is a data discovery lifecycle that provides greater transparency, reduces turnaround time, and minimizes opportunity for human error—all while reducing overall discovery spend. 1 Hour Lecture Kris Wasserman - Regional Vice President, Special Counsel/D4

PR239074 - Defend the (Virtual) Castle! Real-World Data Security Practices for Relativity Relativity users demand fast, scalable, readily available systems that perform 24/7.

You'll walk away with proven best practices that minimize degradation, errors, and downtime. 1 Hour Lecture George Nedwick - CEO, George Jon
