Applied Discovery Announces New Developments in Online Review
Improved Speed and Greater Control for System Users

April 28, 2003, Seattle, WA — Applied Discovery, Inc., the leading provider of electronic discovery services, today announced significant enhancements to its Online Review application. The changes include faster document-to-document review times, advanced document marking and numbering features, and new options for printing and preparing document sets for production. The new capabilities, coupled with the host of other industry-leading features offered by Applied Discovery, further entrench the company as the technology leader in the burgeoning field of electronic discovery.

The new developments in Applied Discovery’s Online Review application provide users with speed, flexibility, and control unavailable in any other online electronic discovery application. Highlights of the new release include:
  • Speed – System architecture upgrades provide the ability to advance from document to document in an average of one second, greatly improving reviewer productivity.


  • Document Numbering and Marking – Advanced document numbering and marking features enable users to create, manage, and apply document marks or numbers (including Bates numbers or marks such as “confidential”) to any set of documents in the database at any time during the review process. A simple interface enables users to apply as many as seven different marks on eighteen different locations on each page. Users may also choose formatting options for each brand, including font style, size, and color. Once applied, Bates numbers become part of each document’s searchable meta data within the database, providing yet another way to pinpoint key documents quickly and accurately.


  • Printing and Pre-Production – With enhanced printing options, users can easily print large batches of documents with just a few mouse clicks. The print and pre-production functionality includes two new options:

    Print to a local or network printer
    Users can print sets of documents to local or network printers. This feature makes it faster and easier to review documents prior to depositions; print important documents for review at client meetings; preview a sample of Bates numbers or other document brands prior to production; or actually print an entire document collection to produce to a requesting party.

    Save files to disk
    Rather than printing documents on paper, users may utilize the print interface to save batches of documents to any network drive. They may then view documents while disconnected from the network; export documents to an in-house case management system; send the documents to a third party for printing; or prepare documents for electronic delivery to another party.

“These developments are based on direct feedback from our clients,” said Mark Chealander, vice president of development at Applied Discovery. “Speed and project control are vital to the success of any electronic discovery project. With these new capabilities, our clients can manage electronic document productions more effectively than ever.”

The new developments also enable tracking of print job details such as job name and client/matter number, giving users the ability to maintain a complete history of all print jobs for tracking or billing purposes. These print features are ideal for productions of small to medium projects — generally cases with less than five thousand documents — where relying on an outside service provider may not be convenient or cost effective. For larger projects, the company still provides full service export and production services.

“Just like all of the features in the Online Review application, these new enhancements are provided at no charge. Unlike traditional packaged software, there are no upgrades or seat licenses to purchase,” noted Chealander, “and the company’s per-page pricing structure remains the same.”
