UBIC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President Masahiro Morimoto), which handles international litigation support services listed on TSE Mothers, has e-discovery (electronic discovery) in international litigation, which has become increasingly important in recent years. ), We have opened a dedicated laboratory (data processing center) "DOC (Discovery Operation Center)" in our head office in order to provide higher quality services more quickly.

Strong support for Japanese companies with cutting-edge technology recognized in the United States, a litigation powerhouse
In March 2010, we released the e-discovery support system "Lit i View ®" and have been developing evidence preservation, investigation and analysis services for electronic data in international litigation. In May 3, it was listed on the US NASDAQ market for the first time in 2013 years as a Japanese company. It is highly evaluated in "America, a litigation powerhouse".
To date, document reviews in eDiscovery have been done visually by a number of lawyers at great cost.On the other hand, we have developed our own AI application technology "Predictive Coding" and put it into review work.
This is to let a computer take over most of the analysis work by letting AI teach the judgment and investigation patterns when a skilled lawyer finds evidence from electronic data.Data analysis speed is about 4000 times faster than skilled lawyers.The accuracy is over 90%.Currently, Predictive Coding has been successfully developed in-house and has been put into practical use in the world, including our company.2 to 3About the company.We are the only company that fully supports Asian languages.
In this way, we have the only track record as an Asian company in data collection and analysis in e-discovery, and this time we have established a new laboratory that connects overseas bases 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which is the world's top level. We will provide the service of.
 
Communicate with staff and lawyers at overseas bases on a large monitor
　One of the major obstacles for global companies in fighting international proceedings is the time loss caused by operations between remote locations.We have solved this problem by naming it "U-AXIS (Ultimate Axial Intelligent System)" and introducing it. Three large 1-inch TV monitors can be installed on the ceiling, and while watching the screen from all angles, you can proceed with operations as if you were working next to you with staff and lawyers from all over the world. I can do it.
 
Arrange the desks in an arc to facilitate discussions between staff members.
　The desk layout in the lab is also "ergonomic".The engineers are divided into XNUMX groups, each group has an "island", and each desk is laid out in an arc shape.A small meeting space is set up in the center, and a group leader stands, and all staff can work while communicating at any time.There are staff members in charge of relatively small projects around it.
 
eProcess the entire discovery process in one step, do not take data out of the country
　The most important thing to be aware of during discovery work is the leakage of information (data).This is especially important when a company outsources work to an overseas vendor such as the United States.For example, a contractor may subcontract work to another vendor without the consent of the client, which may pose a risk of information leakage.In that respect, in our laboratory, the entire process of work can be processed in one stop by the e-discovery dedicated software "Lit i View ®" developed in-house, so data does not flow overseas.
 
Information security management is perfect
　We also take sufficient measures to ensure information security in order to securely retain and manage important client data.A surveillance camera is installed at the entrance of the laboratory, people enter and exit is controlled by vein authentication, and a metal detector is used for checking.Even our employees are not allowed to enter the room without authority, and the time to enter and leave the room is restricted.
 
　Our strength is that we can provide a one-stop service from data collection to extraction / viewing and report preparation in court.The ability of each overseas base to analyze data independently is a great weapon to lead rival companies with mobility.In order to make the most of this "competitive advantage", we will continue to provide even higher quality operational services by improving the functions of our laboratory.
