AccessData has offered improved ability to handle cloud processing in the latest release of its ediscovery products Summation 4.1 and AD eDiscovery 4.0.

“AD eDiscovery 4.0 represents the culmination of several areas of focus for our clients, including a unified EDRM solution vs. a best-of-breed point product. There were also significant engineering investments to better handle cloud based data collection and processing,” said CEO Tim Leehealey.

Summation can just as easily be installed on a PC or laptop (Summation Express) as a larger enterprise class infrastructure (Summation Pro). Both versions of the product offer the exact same workflow and user experience. This approach allows organizations to grow and scale as case load demands, without an additional learning curve.

Summation 4.1 highlights include:
- Faster response through database caching;
- Imaging enhancements supporting quality control;
- Word boundary redaction and annotation;
- Editable Grid View;
- Bulk printing;
- Updated export features; and
- Improvements to the offline, mobile review capability

AD eDiscovery 4.0 highlights include:
- Integrated Summation review technology;
- Cloud data collection including email (PoP & IMAP), Google Docs and Office 365 (SharePoint);
- Schedule collections and processing jobs for appropriate hours; and
- Performance updates.
