IBM eDiscovery Analyzer has the ability to take in and process IBM eDiscovery Manager case folders and index them for further analysis. The primary user interface, as in the case of IBM eDiscovery Manager, is a convenient search mechanism for users to narrow and filter the case results by searching for specific terms. Additionally, legal analysts can utilize the timeline visualization mechanism to evaluate the results such as an actual-to-expected bar graph for the periods of time associated with the case or a particular search. Users can also use the facet analysis to determine phrases, recipients, senders, people, companies, and flags to perform even more complete analysis.The user is then able to flag individual e-mails or groups of e-mails according to their pertinence to the case. The ability to cull out extraneous or irrelevant correspondence lets the organization significantly reduce redundant or unnecessary e-mails turned over for analysis, thus reducing the associated cost of those extras.
