E-mail Thread Identification

Simplify your review through intelligent organization

Traditional email management techniques have taught us to focus our attention on the number of messages within a given collection. A better strategy would be to focus on the unique conversations that transpired between people of interest. Ignited has partnered with Equivio to bring you email threading technology that was designed with this idea in mind.

By performing analysis on an email set, Equivio is able to cluster emails from an existing pool of scattered messages to a structured group of conversations between parties. In the process, “inclusive” emails are identified, drastically reducing the amount of messages to review.

The underlying technology

Unfortunately, it is not safe to rely solely on the email subject, sender, or even internal metadata to relate messages. With that said, Equivio's underlying technology works by parsing the full text of an email, identifying relevant author information and focusing on changes within the body, therefore working independent of the message type.

Enabling a strategic review Find responsive documents -- fast Suppress the redundant and focus on the "inclusive" emails that comprise the entire conversation Keep your review team alert by never reading the same message twice Save costs By grouping emails, attorneys spend less time searching, and more time reviewing Consistently reduce review and handling costs by 30 to 50% Consistent treatment Efficiently assign privilege or confidentiality to entire email threads Reduce the risk of improper tagging across conversations
