This full-day session will cover many topics pertaining to Summation's current products and will benefit experienced users and new users alike. We'll begin with an overview of Summation's Integrated Architecture, which allows users with different Summation products – iBlaze, WebBlaze, and CaseVault – to share data and work in tandem, whether locally or via Internet collaboration. The similarities and differences between Summation offerings will be explored while we discuss which solutions are generally considered best for different situations. We'll also provide an overview of the newest Summation offering, Summation SSE, which combines the power of a SQL Server back-end with the familiar Summation interface.

In addition, electronic discovery is a topic that's on everyone's mind these days, and we'll devote a good portion of time covering how eDiscovery is loaded, reviewed, and produced, both in Summation and CaseVault. There will be a general Q & A session, a review of new software feature review, and lastly, a discussion regarding the creation of a New York User Group.
