Chicago based litigation support services provider launches free e-discovery calculator application for smartphones.
BlueStar Case Solutions, Inc. (BlueStar), a litigation support services provider and consultancy, recently launched EDD Toolkit, a free e-discovery application (app) for smartphones. The app features a Cost Estimator, Time Estimator, Conversion Table and Glossary for common e-discovery questions with regards to ESI (electronically stored information) processing, document review and production. The EDD Toolkit e-discovery app is a useful application for attorneys, paralegals, in-house counsel and litigation support staff who quickly need answers about a particular e-discovery project.
“We are very excited about all the positive reviews we have gotten so far, including
the enthusiastic comments we received last week at LegalTech New York,” says Desiree
Salomon, BlueStar’s Marketing Manager. “It’s the ultimate e-discovery ‘cheat
sheet.’”
The EDD Toolkit provides valuable reference resources and quickly estimates how much
e-discovery may cost and how long the process may take. Along with a glossary of
terms and a data-to-documents or pages conversion calculator, the application is
quickly becoming an essential tool for the e-discovery practitioner.
EDD Toolkit e-discovery app’s full list of features includes:
Cost Estimator
E-Discovery, and the costs associated with it are a large portion of a client’s
litigation spend. Using industry averages, BlueStar’s EDD Toolkit Cost Estimator
estimates how much a user defined amount of data or number of documents for review
could cost.
Time Estimator
The Time Estimator will estimate how long the ESI processing and review steps may
take in litigation, and also has the ability to calculate how long it can take to
scan paper documents into an electronic format.
Conversion Table
The Conversion Table calculates how many documents or pages may be found in a user
defined amount of data. Broken down by common email and document formats, the user
can easily estimate how much data exists in a tangible measurement, by the number of
documents or pages.
Glossary
E-Discovery terminology and jargon can be perplexing to paralegals, attorneys, and
anyone involved in litigation support, therefore the Glossary feature provides
definitions for most common e-discovery related terms via a quickly accessible
interface.
The EDD Toolkit is currently available for iPhone and Android, while BlackBerry and
Windows 7 versions are scheduled for release later this month. To learn more or to
