Summation Releases WebBlaze and CaseVault,
Web-Based Litigation Tools for Tackling EDD

San Francisco, CA – June 9, 2004 – Summation Legal Technologies, Inc. proudly announces the release of WebBlaze Version 2 and CaseVault Version 3 with tools for tackling electronic evidence. The official bi-coastal launch of these products kicked off on June 9th simultaneously in New York at the Warwick Hotel and Los Angeles at LegalTech West.

At any time, from anywhere in the world, WebBlaze or CaseVault litigation team members can instantly search and retrieve case transcripts, documents, notes, and now with these latest versions, electronic evidence over the Internet via Microsoft Internet Explorer. Firms can host case evidence using Summation WebBlaze, or use Summation’s ASP, CaseVault, to host it for them.

Both WebBlaze V2 and CaseVault V3 manage e-mail and the attachments. Users are able to search for and view an e-mail along with any attachments, and vice-versa. Search results can be expanded to include family summaries, parents or attachments, related to the found item. Both products support Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes e-mail archives.

Moreover, these new versions of WebBlaze and CaseVault also manage electronic documents in common native and image file formats. Native electronic documents are indexed for searching without the necessity of the intermediate file conversion step frequently required by other programs. Using the new eDocs feature, customers can save money on image-conversion costs by using native electronic files instead of TIFFs or PDFs. Customers can then choose which files, if any, they want converted to TIFF or PDF for redaction, production, and presentation. Microsoft Office type documents such as Word and Excel, as well as Adobe PDF and HTML, are just some of the native file types supported.

Additional features in WebBlaze V2 and CaseVault V3 include the ability to tag documents for production and accept “Briefcase” sub-collections of documents from iBlaze, Summation’s premier windows-based application. Multiple document collections stored in Summation, MS Access, and MS SQL databases are also accessible via the WebBlaze interface.

“These versions of WebBlaze and CaseVault empower litigators to easily and effectively handle electronic evidence, in tandem with all case evidence, from just about anywhere in the world,” said Jon Sigerman, President of Summation Legal Technologies, Inc. and AV-Rated attorney. “Whether on the road or collaborating across multiple offices, secure access to case information is instantly available with just a browser and Internet connection. Plus, WebBlaze and CaseVault are an excellent way to share information with expert witnesses or outside counsel, who may not have a litigation software program on their desktop.”
