Summation Announces New Links to Third Party Vendors
Scripting component enables Summation products to integrate
with other leading litigation applications.

New York, New York - February 4, 2002 - At Summation, we are committed to giving our customers all the functionality they demand, from early discovery through trial presentation. Summation's scripting component (available in all Summation Blaze® LG products) makes it possible for third party products to integrate with Summation LG software. Several companies - including inData, Verdict Systems, CaseSoft, and IPRO have recently created links to Summation Blaze LG. Links are also in current development with SER Solutions (knowledge management systems) and Legal Files™ (case and office management applications).

Below, we've outlined some of the functionality these links provide:

Link to Trial Director and DepoDirector from inData
With the release of TrialDirector Suite 3.0, users of the two applications can:

  • Open up TrialDirector Suite modules (DepositionDirector, DocumentDirector and TrialDirector) from within Summation
  • Review synchronized video depositions in DepositionDirector while searching and reviewing a transcript in Summation, and automatically make video clips of corresponding highlighted testimony
  • Easily exchange image information from one program to the other, maintaining all document integrity and image table data
  • Launch TrialDirector while conducting searches in Summation, so documentary evidence can be presented on the fly (during cross-examination, for example)

For more information on the integration, please visit www.indatacorp.com.

Link to Verdict Systems Sanction II
Users of Summation Blaze LG and Sanction II will appreciate the following cross-functionality:

  • Add and display documents in Sanction II directly from Blaze LG
  • Display items directly in Sanction II's presentation mode from Blaze LG
    (can also be used in a dual monitor environment where Blaze LG is running on control monitor and Sanction is running on the display monitor or projector)
  • Add existing Blaze LG transcripts to Sanction II individually or in batch; synchronize the court reporters transcript to a digital video file using Sanction's video-to-text synchronization capabilities.
  • Create media clips directly from Blaze LG using Sanction II's new Video Viewer
  • Import Blaze LG summary fields directly into Sanction II coding fields

Link to IPRO & IPRO SCAN

  • IPRO has created a link from its image viewer, IPRO View, to Summation LG Products. The link permits Blaze LG users to use IPRO to view and annotate document images.
  • IPRO SCAN products will now create a DII load file for Summation; this will facilitate the loading of document images into a Summation database.
  • Extensive development is underway to apply the IPRO image server to Summation images for Summation's web-based products.
  • Summation Blaze LG Gold and iBlaze® will integrate with IPRO's new EDD product to take electronic documents and batch load them into Summation using am image format that can be redacted and numbered for productions, court proceedings, etc.

Link to CaseSoft's CaseMap 3.5 and TimeMap2*
CaseSoft reports that it recently completed a new program that links CaseMap and Summation Blaze LG programs. The application will be available for no charge at www.casesoft.com. Users of Summation Blaze LG and CaseMap will have the following functionality as a result of the integration:

  • Users can connect information in CaseMap to text and images stored in Summation
  • The CaseMap/Summation Linker adds "Send to CaseMap" functionality; as transcripts or OCR text are reviewed in Summation, portions of text can be sent to CaseMap as a new fact. The fact is linked back to the source of the fact in Summation, which can be opened with a mouse click.
  • TimeMap2 chronology-mapping program imports key document data from Summation.
