Nowadays, electronic data such as e-mail accounts for a large part of the means of information communication. It is extremely difficult to keep track of the necessary information for litigation from the daily influx of data. Our consultants will share with you FRONTEO's know-how gained from more than 20 years of experience in handling actual cases. We also provide consulting services based on our extensive experience to ensure that the necessary preparations and procedures for e-discovery are carried out efficiently.Please click here formore information on our International Litigation e-Discovery Consulting Services.FRONTEO has built a unique network with a variety of law firms through our experience in working with law firms in Japan and around the world to support international litigation. We can introduce you to lawyers suited to your situation and make proposals regarding the establishment of compliance. While the importance of email and chat audits is rapidly growing as part of efforts to strengthen corporate compliance, it is difficult to verify and audit vast amounts of data without using any tools.

In electronic data preservation, forensic tools are used to copy the data in an unalterable image format, including unused areas (deleted areas), to ensure evidentiary integrity. In addition, during the process, we take photographs, record logs, etc., and create a certificate (Evidence Control and Chain of Custody Document) to guarantee that the data is identical to the original data. Paper documents are scanned and digitized.

Our self-developed software, KIBIT Automator, can handle difficult delimitation of multibyte characters such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, which are difficult to handle with overseas tools, special character codes unique to Japan, simultaneous use of multiple mailers, and mailers unique to Asia. In addition, since the software is developed in-house, it can flexibly handle customer-developed systems and special data. A character code is a byte representation (code) assigned to each character in order to use the character on a computer. Compared to English, Japanese requires more character information to be handled, such as Kanji, Hiragana, and Kana, so various character codes are used in different applications. If a tool fails to recognize a character code correctly, characters will not be displayed correctly, a phenomenon known as garbled characters. Tools developed in Europe and the U.S. often do not support the character codes of Asian languages, including Japanese, resulting in garbled characters that may prevent the retrieval of necessary information.

To reduce the cost of document review, which is said to account for approximately 70% of e-discovery costs, it is an important process to reduce the number of documents to be reviewed.
The technology and know-how cultivated since the days of UBIC are also indispensable in the selection of search keywords to extract data necessary for litigation from a large volume of electronic data.
Our consultants and engineers in charge will provide support.

FRONTEO's proprietary artificial intelligence "KIBIT" (Predictive Coding / TAR: Technology Assisted Review) is used to improve review efficiency and reduce costs.

A review is a human visual document sorting process that takes place after digital forensic technology has narrowed down data that may be relevant to litigation. If you choose our in-house developed software "KIBIT Automator" as your platform, we can provide a "review heatmap" that allows attorneys to compare TAR (Technology Assisted Review) scores with reviewer tagging results in order to control the quality of the review to help attorneys control the quality of their reviews. By reviewing the Review Heat Map, you can identify documents that may have been misjudged.

Western e-discovery solutions have the disadvantage of incomplete support for multibyte characters, such as Japanese and Chinese, resulting in "garbled" characters that greatly hinder the discovery of evidence. In addition to support for character codes unique to the Japanese language, the system also supports a wide range of multibyte characters unique to Asian languages, enabling accurate processing of electronic documents containing multiple languages, such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
