 FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) has installed FRONTEO's proprietary AI "KIBIT" in the investigation of PL (product liability) international litigation cases in the United States. We are pleased to inform you that we have succeeded in conducting a quick document review using the interconnection function that connects the review tool "KIBIT Automator" to the customer's data storage environment for analysis.

 

 In the United States, a discovery system is in place to disclose relevant information and materials to the other party and to collect testimony before the proceedings in a proceeding.Document review refers to the process of finding relevant information in discovery, and is said to account for about 7% of the time and cost involved in discovery. FRONTEO develops and provides the e-discovery / digital forensic platform "KIBIT Automator" that utilizes AI to support the efficiency of discovery operations.

 

 When providing e-discovery / digital forensics services, it is common to move the data held by the parties to the proceedings to an environment managed by the company conducting the investigation and analysis.However, in this case, there was a restriction that data could not be moved from the storage environment due to the information management rules of the companies involved and the circumstances of business execution.Therefore, FRONTEO connected KIBIT Automator to the customer's data storage environment, transferred only the necessary information to KIBIT Automator while maintaining a strong security state, and analyzed it.As a result, the analysis work, which was estimated to take one week if all the data was transferred to our environment, could be completed in just 1 hours, resulting in a significant reduction in time and cost.

 

 In recent years, the amount of data handled by companies has increased rapidly, and along with this, the amount of data that should be investigated in the discovery process has become enormous.In order to find the necessary information in a limited time from a huge amount of data, it is indispensable to utilize tools such as AI, but on the other hand, the rules of the company that owns the data, the convenience of business execution, and the intention In reality, there may be problems in submitting data at the time of discovery due to various circumstances such as the intention of the decision maker and the situation of the data storage environment that is used on a daily basis.On the other hand, FRONTEO's KIBIT Automator can analyze data stored outside the FRONTEO environment by using the interconnection function, and can meet the diverse needs of client companies.

 

 Through the development and provision of advanced AI solutions, FRONTEO will continue to contribute to reducing and improving the efficiency of corporate proceedings in international proceedings and realizing the fairness of the information society.
