iCONECT Development, LLC, a world leader in litigation support software since 1999, has collaborated with Syngence Corporation to provide firms with a solution for reviewing near-duplicate documents and reducing their overall litigation costs. Legal teams can now use SynthetixND to identify near-duplicates and then use iCONECT's flagship product, nXT, ranked #1 in web-based litigation support software, to review the documents in groups, reduce review time, and ensure consistent assessments.

"70% of litigation cost is in review, and near-duplicates in particular present a major challenge to review teams, so we are excited to offer our clients a solution with Syngence to overcome this challenge," said Cynthia Williams, CEO of iCONECT Development, LLC. "iCONECT has a strong history of reliable integrations and compatibility with leading litigation support products that provide our clients with flexible and powerful end-to-end solutions, with nXT as the core document review and collaboration platform."

In nXT, near-duplicate documents are organized into groups based on the SynthetixND analysis. Legal teams are required to review only the primary document in each group of near-duplicates to assign the same designation to all the related documents, lowering overall review time and ensuring consistency. nXT’s keyboard shortcuts and bulk review options further reduce review time for near-duplicates.

"SynthetixND gives law firms and legal teams a distinct competitive advantage, and we are excited about extending the reach of our technology though our compatibility with iCONECTnXT," said Steven S. McNew, Syngence President.

SynthetixND is available on its own or as part of the Synthetix Processing Suite (SPS), which includes Synthetix "linguistic pattern" searching. All Synthetix Processing Suite applications are fully compatible with nXT.

With iCONECT, firms can choose the best fit for their infrastructure requirements: nXT with embedded database technology; nXT connected to Microsoft SQL Server (NASDAQ:MSFT); or nXT connected to Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL). nXT can be purchased as an in-house solution or used with one of iCONECT’s worldwide network of over 50 application service providers (ASPs) to host their legal projects. ASPs offer hosting with nXT as a key component of their overall e-discovery offering to law firms, government agencies and corporations.

nXT's review and collaboration features also include secure web-based access, advanced search options, user metrics reports, and native file and e-mail review tools. Further reduce review time with Word Marking, an advanced review feature that auto-highlights key text such as privileged names, terms and product references to improve document assessment speed.
