QUINCY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MerlinOne’s version 2.0 Integrated e-Discovery System brings advanced technologies to the finger tips of lawyers, paralegals and litigation support professionals. Users can process, review, analyze and produce, all in a single web-based system. The Employment Law Group® law firm in Washington, DC, a current Merlin Legal customer, is an early adopter of the new version 2.0 software.

With just a few clicks, MerlinOne’s easy-to-navigate Web interface allows users to de-dupe an entire case in seconds, view emails by threads and mark relevancy and level of importance. Searching through millions of documents takes just seconds to find witnesses, entities, topic keywords or email addressees.

MerlinOne version 2.0 Integrated e-Discovery System supports advanced features such as re-unitization for breaking up large PDF documents, batch tagging of email threads, a bookmark feature and a memory stamp to help speed up the review process. An export to LexisNexis® CaseMap analysis tool has also been added.

The Merlin system terminology and workflow maps closely to the EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) industry standard and is so versatile and powerful that it can be used for early data assessment, e-discovery processing and the organization and management of millions of documents, emails, transcripts, photos, graphics, voicemails, and deposition videos. MerlinOne is available as a hosted solution (Software-as-a-Service).

Users may easily search multimedia files for spoken words: the system’s integrated speech-to-text recognition allows you to search depositions or voicemail messages and automatically cues up the resulting video or audio files right to the location of the spoken phrase. This can save considerable time in the review and analysis phases of a case.

MerlinOne’s all-inclusive, predictable, flat fee pricing substantially reduces your pass-through e-Discovery costs. A price comparison kit is available at www.MerlinOne.com/pricecomparison.
