MINNEAPOLIS, MN, USA, September 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Leading the way for global best practices in e-discovery, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is pleased to announce that the EDRM Cross Platform Email Duplicate Identification Specification for the EDRM MIH is now supported in four leading eDiscovery platforms, in the Reveal platform, in Relativity through the Law in Order EDRM MIH Relativity Application, in EDT and in Nuix Neo.
The EDRM Cross-Platform Email Duplicate Identification Specification is an important development in the field of eDiscovery and information management. This specification provides a framework for identifying duplicates across multiple email platforms, allowing organizations to identify duplicate emails efficiently and effectively in a defensible and cost-effective manner. Currently no means of cross platform email duplicate identification exists, except to reprocess the data using a single vendor platform, often expending significant time and cost.
We are proud to be one of the first eDiscovery platforms to implement the new EDRM MIH, offering yet another way to help improve the eDiscovery process.
George Socha, vice president of brand awareness at Reveal and EDRM co-founder.
The solution is a simple, but effective approach which involves the use of the hash value of an email Message ID metadata field which is EDRM MIH. This new approach will not replace current vendor email deduplication methods but will enable cross platform email duplicate identification.
“We are really excited that Reveal, Relativity working with Law in Order, EDT, and Nuix have incorporated the EDRM MIH support into their platforms. I would like to thank them for supporting this important EDRM initiative. I encourage all e-discovery platform providers to incorporate the EDRM MIH into their products,” said Beth Patterson, director at ESPconnect. “Our global, multidisciplinary EDRM Committee, comprising legal technologists, forensic professionals, product developers, consultants and lawyers, believe the EDRM MIH has numerous applications that will save significant time and cost. I encourage lawyers, eDiscovery & forensic professionals, service providers, regulators and courts to start requesting the EDRM MIH in productions now to gain the benefits in the future!”
We value the opportunity to participate in this collaborative EDRM DupeID project and look forward to our customers taking advantage of the benefits from the EDRM MIH Relativity App developed by our partner Law In Order. This is an excellent example of the e-discovery community coming together to change how legal professionals practice law. We’re excited for the industry to have this long-awaited solution to the cross-platform deduplication challenge.
