Improved ROI on Existing Search and Classification Technology

Benefits

  • Validation of desired performance based on statistically valid measurement protocols

Corporations and their legal advisors rely on a range of tools to search, cull, filter, and classify email and other electronic documents to meet legal, compliance, and enterprise-wide preservation and retention goals. While such tools provide extensive functionality, all too often organizations either over-retain non-relevant information (creating significant review costs) or under-retain relevant information (increasing risk).

H5 EDGE™ Classifier is a document classification application that integrates seamlessly with and runs on top of organizations’ existing search tools and platforms to more accurately cull, filter and classify email and other electronic documents. Powered by H5's proprietary information retrieval development system, H5 EDGE Classifier provides the critical layer of intelligence to automate and replicate the judgments that attorneys, compliance professionals, and their review staff would make if they were able to assess each document themselves.

H5 EDGE Classifier is customized to meet client-specific goals, whether related to compliance, information retention management, litigation readiness, or e-discovery.
