That thing you do so well.

Every law firm has got a thing – the thing that’s at its core; the reason it was created. It’s what makes the company tick and keeps it moving forward.

And, it’s super-important to hang on to that, right?

With all the competition, technology, change, and innovation, it’s easy to forget your raison d’etre and there can be many a long-serving employee who rolls their eyes when the firm they work for talks about all-things-new and forgets the importance of the thing they are known and loved for.

But, it doesn’t have to be a case of out with the old to bring in the new. More often than not, law firms need to think about evolution, not revolution when it comes to technology and innovation.

ayfie and iCONECT Sign an Integration Agreement

The iCONECT-XERA® eDiscovery Software Platform Analytics Module will now be powered by the ayfie Inspector text analytics engine

New York, New York, January 9, 2018 – ayfie Inc., the provider of the text analytics platform, ayfie Inspector, used in a variety of industries and disciplines worldwide, is proud to announce that it has reached a licensing agreement with iCONECT to power the eDiscovery review platform, iCONECT-XERA®.

Both companies are dedicating development resources to finalize software code integration between the two platforms. The integration will leverage ayfie’s leading text analytics engine, ayfie inspector within the iCONECT-XERA interface, to create seamless eDiscovery/AI functionality and workflows. The initial release will include Near-Duplicate detection, Conceptual Clustering, Email Threading, Xmplar (used to create a synthetic exemplar document) and Predictive Review (TAR) with both TAR 1.0 and TAR 2.0 workflow capabilities.

Large and mid-sized law firms have increased their use of analytics to drive efficiency and improve fact finding. This new age of transparent analytics, leaves behind the black box of legacy LSI technology, and is bound to increase adoption by making the back-end understandable. The ayfie technology has linguistic analytics at its core. Since much of the law is about language, attorneys get what’s happening. That leads to comfort and comfort breeds adoption. We expect this to change the legal landscape.

—Ian Campbell, CEO of iCONECT

ayfie’s unique approach to text analytics, combining linguistic analytics with machine learning, gives iCONECT the opportunity to offer even more analytics tools to the eDiscovery and data investigation markets. Sentiment analysis and entity extraction are the first two on the integration roadmap, following the Q1 2018 initial release.

We’re looking forward to working with iCONECT to take their eDiscovery solution to the next level. Our integration will create the workflows needed to help their customers find the right data at the right time. As our partnership grows, we plan to enhance iCONECT’s user experience as they leverage more of our text analytics capabilities, such as entity extraction, sentiment analysis and others.

— Rob Wescott, CRO at ayfie, Inc.

The initial release of the product integration is scheduled for Q1, 2018 and will be available in combination with user licensing for the iCONECT-XERA platform. iCONECT will be demonstrating the integration in booth # 1402 at the upcoming LegalTech NY show in late January.
