5 WWW.ILTANET.ORG | ILTA WHITE PAPER LITIGATION AND PRACTICE SUPPORT ILTA's 2017 Litigation and Practice Support Technology Survey Results Keeping up with the latest tools and trends in the litigation and practice support industry can be overwhelming. This survey aims to provide you with insight on what your peers and other organizations are doing to meet litigation demands. From hot topics in training/education, industry- recognized certifications, to in-house discovery services, this survey includes valuable metrics to benefit you and your team. These are just a few examples of the information provided in this survey. Read on for much more. » In the rapidly evolving world of litigation and practice support, few things remain constant. The survey shows that participating organizations are continuing to use the hourly model as the primary pricing method. Productions, processing and presentation/trial support remain the most frequent services performed in-house. Whereas, frequent services outsourced are computer forensics, data collection, and scanning. » Organizations are continuing to improve efficiencies due to time and budget constraints which is reflected by the increased reported use of advanced analytics. Email threading, near duplicate identification, and concept searching are the top contenders. We are also seeing a slight uptick in users leveraging machine learning technology for early case assessment and to expedite and/ or prioritize review.
