Huntingdon Valley PA, December 1, 2009 - AlphaLit, a division of Alpha Systems, and a leader in Electronic Discovery Services,
today announced the addition of full Multi-Lingual Discovery support. These new capabilities dovetail with AlphaLit's recent Safe Harbor
Certification, and help support the growing number of cross border deals and disputes that AlphaLit clients manage.
Recognized by the Socha-Gelbmann Survey as a leading provider of Electronic Discovery Services for America's largest corporations and law firms,
Alpha now provides interchangeable English and Multi-Lingual Discovery Support. Dale Drury, Vice President of AlphaLit, said, "We are always
looking to simplify things for our clients. With full Multi-Lingual support our clients can rest assured that any non-English documents that find
their way into discovery sets will be identified and handled properly throughout the discovery life cycle."
AlphaLit's processing systems are fully configured to work with all Unicode-supported character sets. Whether it's for a pre-litigation early case
assessment ("ECA") or processing materials for a formal discovery document review, AlphaLit's intake system recognizes a broad range of languages and
can provide a full statistical analysis of the collection as well as segregate documents into review folders based on their language. Documents
containing more than one language, such as conversational e-mail email threads, can be identified by their majority language or by all of the
languages present in the document.
Once documents have been processed, AlphaLit's E-Direct review solution lets the legal team easily work with multi-lingual document collections.
Because of E-Direct's full Unicode support, search queries can be entered in virtually any character set. The entire review form including field
names and values can also be created in any language, permitting translators and other language specialists to customize their review environment.
For those documents requiring translation, AlphaLit offers both machine and certified human translation with links to the original non-English
document. Both E-Direct's native file viewer for ESI, and HTML file viewer, support a full range of Latin and non-Latin character sets, letting
reviewers focus on the substance of documents, not on the logistics of getting them on-screen.
AlphaLit's document production services round out the company's comprehensive international language support. AlphaLit's technology supports the
production of these materials in a broad variety of formats. Whether it's the creation of TIFF images that accurately display non-Latin characters
or the production of a Unicode-compliant load file, AlphaLit can fully meet the needs of even the most complex international matter.
About AlphaLit: Having set the standard for discovery document management for the past 22 years, AlphaLit is proud of its first-tier position
in the industry, featuring large-scale processing capacity and expert technology. Today, the Discovery Management Teams (DMT) of AlphaLit bring to
each project the expertise and experience to manage the largest and most complex projects to a successful conclusion, while at the same time reducing
the risks associated with electronic and paper discovery. AlphaLit is located in a secure, 150,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility near
