Every additional hour of reviewer time that must be spent culling down large data sets to the twenty percent (20%) of ultimately responsive documents is additional cost to the responding party. A well-planned, thoughtful approach to the Review process, a careful and thorough examination of an appropriate vendor and efficient management can result in overall time and cost savings. Utilizing emerging technologies that group like documents together can also enable a more targeted, accurate and efficient review-all of which can ultimately translate into significant cost savings to the responding party.

New technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the review process are appearing everyday from fuzzy searching to concept searching, near-dupes, visualization and social network analysis. What are all of these tools and how can the assist in the review process?
