Digital transformation in the legal sector is moving at lightning speed and keeping pace is no longer enough. Lawyers need automation and analytics to identify key facts faster, spot patterns that would be missed manually, and streamline operations and workflows.
Legal teams are under increasing pressure to deliver timely and defensible responses to litigation and regulatory demands. To do this effectively, they need robust eDiscovery tools that can scale quickly and simplify complex workflows, all while reducing costs. These tools are needed to ensure that legal teams can accurately and expeditiously assess the merits of cases, support investigations, and respond to litigation discovery and other production demands in a timely manner.
In today’s legal technology market, eDiscovery solutions are far from a one-size-fits-all solution. They can deliver a very wide range of features that are purposefully built to address specific key stages of the Electronic Discovery Model (EDRM) yet are ill-equipped to perform other tasks. As the report explains, some solutions provide end-to-end capabilities, while others stick to either the initial stages (identification, preservation, collection, and processing) or the later stages of the model (review, analysis, production, and presentation). How do decision-makers make an informed investment decision? The GigaOm Radar is one way to better navigate the market and select the right tools for their needs.
GigaOm Radar overview
It assessed how well e-discovery solutions were designed to serve specific target markets (SMB, larger enterprise, and law firms) and deployment models. Other decision criteria included, among other things, a review of key features and provided a snapshot of the technical capabilities of available solutions, defined the perimeter of the relevant market space, and gauged the potential impact on the business.
Let’s take a deeper dive into what the report had to say about OpenText.
OpenText is a Leader in e-Discovery
As illustrated in the chart below, GigaOm evaluated 19 of the top e-discovery solutions based on capabilities, non-functional requirements, and other key criteria. The report recognized OpenText as having one of the most comprehensive eDiscovery solutions on the market, outperforming Relativity, Nuix, Reveal, and other software vendors evaluated. It earned its Outperformer status due to its high rate of delivery last year, high release cadence, and a strong roadmap for the coming year. GigaOm also recognized OpenText as one of the most flexible vendors in terms of deployment options (off-cloud, private cloud, public cloud (SaaS), and hybrid) and for its broad coverage of nearly the entire EDRM.
Why OpenText should be on your eDiscovery shortlist
Analysis, review and automation
OpenText’s eDiscovery solutions have a long history of incorporating advanced analytics and machine learning to dramatically improve review efficiency and lower costs. According to GigaOm, OpenText earned the highest possible score (5/5) in analysis and review, largely due to its robust Technology Assisted Review (TAR) protocols and visualization tools to show associations within data for deep insight. It also stood out (5/5) for its powerful search capabilities including unsupervised machine learning and entity detection tools that identify and categorize the names of people, places, and organizations. Plus, OpenText Smart Redaction technology received top marks for applying redactions across documents, against native audio-visual files and for automated redaction of PII.

The GigaOm report highlights OpenText’s ability to support specific use cases including “data privacy and subject rights requests to meet regulations such as GDPR and CCPA; data breach analysis and reporting to help assess the impact of a data breach and comply with breach notification rules; and investigations that aim to quickly gain insights into the data in order to deliver the facts for internal, external, and regulatory investigations in a timely fashion.” Often these activities are aligned with broader initiatives to address content sprawl, content risk, and disposition of content.
