All Evidence Points
to dtSearch
Fios, provider of electronic evidence discovery services offers
litigation teams a complete solution surrounding the acquisition,
conversion, management, analysis, and distribution of electronic
data associated with the litigation discovery process. As an
electronic discovery leader, Fios focuses on cases that deal
with complex and novel issues where the evidence is in an electronic
form. Fios' services enable litigation teams to better represent
their clients, which is critically important when the stakes
can be in the millions.
In fact, electronic discovery has become such a valuable strategy
that, in some cases, paper documents are also converted into
electronic files. Buried within the files are often the "smoking
guns" litigators can use to win a case. Fios enables litigators
to instantly find and categorise needed information making the
discovery process more effective and efficient.
Once discovery material arrives at the Fios data centre, technicians
convert and process the material, building a comprehensive archive
of all of the electronic data. This is then posted to a web-based
repository for easy access. |

"Typically,
with our size archives, a week to do a report was a reasonable
request... now, with dtSearch, we can get the first search results
back to the litigator by the time it takes to get off the phone." |

Litigation teams then search the archive and prioritise the
findings. This system needs to deliver search results in as little
time as possible. These case archives can be enormous depending
on the case and litigators need a fast and comprehensive solution
for retrieving information.
Early on, Fios began an exhaustive review of search engines that
would solve the information retrieval problem. After reviewing
six leading search tools, they discovered that dtSearch was the
only search engine that had everything. "We found very little
consistency in other search tools," said Bernard Stea, CIO,
Fios, "dtSearch has no serious competition."
By entering keywords and phrases into the dtSearch engine, litigation
teams can create prioritised search reports of the discovery
contents. "Typically, with the size of these archives, a
week to do a report was reasonable" says Stea. With dtSearch,
in most cases, a search can be done in a matter of minutes."
Fios is currently using dtSearch in conjunction with a whole
range of proprietary software tools to provide electronic discovery
services to clients.
