A little background…. Before we can talk about visualizing data, we have to talk about processing and tagging it Processing (aka Intake) is the process of “ingesting” data into an analytics engine – Creating OCR for scanned images – Extracting text for native files & email – Speech to text for audio/video files – Translating content to English – Re-ordering or re-aligning pages – Applying redactions Tagging (aka Coding, Indexing, Sequencing) is the process of extracting key information and attributes about each document – Document Type, Important Dates – Key Names & Phrases – Topics, Keywords & Themes – File, Content and DocType attributes – Relation to other documents (duplicate, related, attached, contradictory, etc.) native text fielded data

Top 10 Reasons to Consider BlackCat Over Other Alternatives 10. Highly customizable to your (your client’s) specific circumstances 9. Visual analytics show patterns missed with other techniques 8. Prioritize workflow by batching docs together before eyes-on review. Create reports or datasets for others. 7. Provide key details about data set early in the case. Setup for meet & confer as well as "proportionality" 6. Show gaps in the collection, reveal missing data 5. Ease of use. Users up & running in seconds. 4. Instant dashboard update on the fly, with queries, new data, drilldowns 3. Supports structured data, unstructured data, paper & electronic files 2. Provides automatic notifications upon key events 1. Much lower cost than typical hosted platforms in eDiscovery or Records

Legal/Litigation/eDiscovery Problems Too many documents to review, cull & produce by hand Cost-effective alternative solutions to contract attorney & offshore labor “armies” Missing, poor, or ineffective metadata Re-unitization, organization, indexing & redacting of documents Bridging multi-language document populations to English Records Management Problems Help automate defensible deletion efforts for IG Organize & control loose documents on shared drives, desktops, networks & devices Eliminate expensive and information-poor storage options Serve as automated intake for multiple content generation sources Business Intelligence Problems Organize & control decades of contracts & agreements Provide brand integrity/protection data mining of public/private documents Forecast & trending of topics, people & locations over time Loose, shared files analysis & control Health Care Problems Heavy expense & time converting hardcopy medical records to EMRs/EHRs Cannot keep up with fax server data collection Cost effective alternative solutions to “armies” of temp data entry coders Typical Problems Valora Solves
