Advanced Imaging and Production
- Flexible Production: The platform offers the most flexible processing, imaging, and endorsing capabilities, allowing users to tackle extensive imaging, OCR, or printing jobs by distributing production jobs across multiple workstations.
- Source Management: Users can quickly sort, filter, and delete imported sources in a user-friendly staging interface, leveraging advanced date filtering and automatic date sorting on import.
Integration and Compatibility
- Seamless Integrations: CloudNine LAW integrates with other CloudNine applications such as Explore™ and Concordance®, as well as other leading document review platforms. This allows for smooth data transfer between different platforms in a wide range of formats.
- Compatibility: The software is certified for compliance under NIST 800-53 Rev4, supports FIPS OS encryption, and can run on systems where only TLS 1.2 is enabled, ensuring compliance with modern security standards.
Productivity and Efficiency
- Streamlined Workflows: CloudNine LAW is designed to reduce the learning curve and IT burden, increase cash flow, and shorten the overall discovery process. It helps in controlling costs and achieving a positive ROI.
- Error Handling and Recovery: The platform includes improved error handling and auto-recovery from import failures, allowing users to reprocess multiple errors from multiple imports with a single click.
Security and Compliance
