New Technology Lowers Cost of Discovery for Financial Services Companies and the Law Firms That Support Them
WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 14, 2014 – Consilio, a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company and a global leader in eDiscovery software and services, today announced the general availability of its innovative Enhanced Bloomberg Chat experience. Consilio’s end-to-end solution now streamlines the review of Instant Bloomberg® archives not only by storing richer, augmented data for better searching and discovery workflow structuring but also by introducing a real-time, dynamic filtering experience designed to accelerate reviews, lower costs, and yield better accuracy.
Instant Bloomberg—or Bloomberg Chat, as it is commonly called—is the leading chat tool used by the global financial community, generating a massive archive of discussions. Regulatory agencies require organizations to preserve these conversations, making them subject to discovery. Because these communications are often lengthy documents filled with duplicative and irrelevant content, they dramatically slow the progress of review and speed the onset of reviewer fatigue, increasing the risk of missing key relevant material. In addition, most eDiscovery solutions convert this special archive file type to e-mail format for handling, further complicating the attorney review experience.
“Consilio’s solution solves the complexities normally associated with the review of Bloomberg Chat,” according to Todd Mansbridge, Consilio’s Vice President of Product Management. “The solution expedites clients’ review of information and thus lowers costs in two primary ways. First, it optimizes the discovery workflow by allowing users to search for potentially relevant documents in a collection using a more robust set of chat-specific fields than e-mail archives allow. Second, it isolates important conversations within the transcript by quickly and dynamically filtering out irrelevant noise, which often makes up 95 percent of the content.”
Andy Macdonald, Consilio’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Many of Consilio’s clients are prominent banks and other global financial institutions. They rely on Bloomberg Chat to facilitate business conversations, but given the inordinate amount of irrelevant content, it becomes an expensive thorn in their side in eDiscovery.” He added, “We heard our clients’ frustration with the difficulties and costs associated with reviewing Bloomberg Chat data, so we worked with them to develop a better way to handle these challenges.”
Consilio has pre-integrated and fully deployed its Enhanced Bloomberg Chat solution in its data centers around the world. These data centers, located in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Bangalore and Hong Kong, have passed stringent security audits of many of the world’s largest financial services institutions.
