Nextpoint Discovery v. Litigation

Nextpoint offers users two essential and distinct software workflows, Discovery and Litigation. Each is purpose-built to manage data in secure, collaborative, databases which you can set up as needed, and customize to meet your specific case and team needs.  

While Discovery and Litigation each have unique capabilities, there are many similarities across the platform which aim to streamline your experience from collection and processing to preparing for trial, and everything in between.

Discovery

Nextpoint Discovery, focuses on facilitating your data analysis, document review for relevancy and privilege, and electronic production. 

Simple and secure drag & drop upload

The Drag & Drop Import functionality is extremely helpful when you need to import native data, often in the format of pst, mbox, or zip.  Database setup and all the complicated and critical stuff (deduplication, OCR, imaging, metadata extraction) is done automatically—and there are NO data charges.

Still need to collect data from your end-client?  You can securely Request Files from any third party (clients, counsel, etc...) from your Nextpoint File Room. 

 

Dynamic 360º views of all your case

A customizable visualization of your entire database gives you critical “big-picture” insight to make smart decisions immediately after upload. Quickly execute bulk-culling or coding, and properly organize your review from the outset.

 

Flexible document review

Customize almost everything in real-time (views, tags, coding, bulk actions, and more) for your particular team or project.

 

Modern evidence exchange

Exchanging evidence is more secure, always free, and as easy as sending an email.
