What’s Coming in Concordance Evolution?

• High performance server architecture includes scalable Microsoft SQL back end and a Web-based server. While keeping your data in one place, this architecture accelerates document searching, improves data integrity and supports highly effective tagging in large-scale, multi-party document review.

• A fully Web-based approach with complete proxy server compatibility means there is no application for you to install on your desktop!

• Advanced concept search, clustering, e-mail threading and family groupings help you precisely locate related evidence and reduce the risk of missing key information. Advanced concept search and clustering are provided through the Velocity Platform™ from Vivisimo®, rated by Gartner as a leader in search technology.
