Litify has perfected the way to deliver software that’s unique to each firm while still serving the needs of the broader industry.”

Accusoft’s latest release of PrizmDoc now includes AI for Personally Identifiable Information detection and redaction.

The new version of PrizmDoc will be showcased at Legalweek January 30 – February 1, 2024, in New York City. 

TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, January 18, 2024 – Accusoft, a software company specializing in industry-leading secure document viewing, processing, and automation technologies for integration into Enterprise Content Management solutions, announced the latest release of PrizmDoc today. The latest version now includes AI for Personally Identifiable Information detection and redaction.

“Enhanced data security and improved regulatory compliance are very important to our customers, particularly in the Legal, Insurance, and Financial Services industries,” said Steve Wilson, Accusoft’s Chief Product Officer. “This newest version of PrizmDoc makes meeting these requirements easier.”

The new PrizmDoc AI for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Detection and Redaction module allows end users to search and detect PII in a document. This provides:

  • The page number where the information is located
  • The ability to see the specific related text
  • What type of PII the AI has identified
  • An identification confidence score for each item

Once reviewed, end users can easily redact the information with a click of a button, or this process can be automated by using APIs.

Software developers can access this functionality using APIs to create workflow automation and enable user interface tools to provide functionality to end users.

PrizmDoc’s newest feature removes the need for end users to manually scan documents trying to identify PII for redaction, reducing bottlenecks and delays, and saving companies a significant amount of time.

Accusoft’s Chief Operating Officer Megan Brooks added: “This release marks a distinct milestone for Accusoft and PrizmDoc. Enhancing PrizmDoc with AI gives our customers a unique capability that allows them to differentiate their ECM solutions from the competition. As we stay close to our partners, the market, and the evolution of AI as it impacts the Document Management industry, we look forward to delivering more innovative feature enhancements to our customers.”

Priori, the leading legal technology platform for outside counsel decision-making, recently announced the latest version of its award-winning product, Scout, is now powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI). With Scout’s AI launch, legal teams can unlock even more valuable data and insights about their trusted law firm relationships and elevate their decision-making processes for outside counsel hiring, law firm panel management and rate reviews.

“AI is profoundly changing the way legal professionals work,” commented Basha Rubin, CEO and Co-Founder, Priori. “Using AI to power Scout allows for a more seamless integration of in-house and law firm data, including better search and matching. These capabilities empower companies to find the best legal talent for their need at that moment with minimal friction, taking administrative tasks off of our users’ plates and freeing them up to spend more time on strategic tasks that deliver business value. We are thrilled to be partnering with Hearst, Marsh McLennan  and other Fortune 500 companies to bring the first AI-based outside counsel data platform to the market.”

HOW IT WORKS

Scout automates the process of managing a law firm panel and interaction with outside counsel by centralizing knowledge, structuring data from disparate sources and surfacing insights in an easy-to-use, searchable platform. Using Scout, legal teams can better understand their outside counsel’s experience, rates, expertise, engagement history and more. To achieve this, Scout connects internal data on law firm experience and expertise, e-billing and performance, enriches the information with public data sources and uses AI to aggregate and organize that data to make it “decision grade.”

Legal departments find many benefits with Scout, including:

  • Centralizing key information about outside counsel relationships. Law departments can get as granular as they like with data points, including combining information from billing systems, expertise and experience data, internal reviews and more.

  • Clearly surfacing impactful data, such as performance reviews. Scout enables and tracks internal reviews of attorneys and firms, presenting them in a clear visual interface and preserving institutional knowledge.

  • Quickly finding best-fit firms for new matters. Legal departments can compare key decision-making factors to optimize legal spend and align hiring with important internal initiatives (e.g., panel management, rate review processes or diversity certifications).

“Scout creates a new category of legal department software that broadens and deepens in-house team’s relationships with their external counsel,” commented An Trotter, Senior Director of Operations, Office of the General Counsel, Hearst. “We use the platform to quickly and effectively identify best-fit attorneys for new legal work and manage our rate review process, saving an estimated 325 hours annually.”

This announcement comes on the heels of the company’s expansion of its services, adding legal operations professionals to its industry-leading global marketplace. Since its founding, Priori has continuously responded to the needs of its clients, adding ALSPs and other “New Law” companies in 2021. Now, Priori Marketplace’s expansion integrates legal operations  providers into the company’s transparent legal marketplace that serves clients who want to compare a wide range of legal services providers.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

Over the past year, Priori has been recognized for the impact Scout is making in legal departments across the country and within the legal ecosystem. Below are a few examples of this recognition:

The new capability adds additional convenience and cost efficiency to Centerbase’s single-platform solution for comprehensive law firm management. 

DALLAS, TX (January 2024) – Today, Centerbase, a leader in legal technology solutions, proudly announces the launch of its innovative Native Document Management Solution, designed specifically for the legal industry. With this new solution, Centerbase’s state-of-the-art platform continues to simplify operations, such as how law firms manage documents across various matters, clients, and practice areas. The new intuitive and automated document workflows are expected to significantly enhance firms’ service delivery and ability to bill more hours.

Centerbase’s new integrated solution is engineered to provide a seamless user experience that mirrors how modern firms practice every day. The launch of the native document management solution is part of a larger strategic imperative at Centerbase to continue to power the most efficient operational solutions available for legal firms. 

A significant advantage of the native document management solution is its alignment with Microsoft Office technologies. By leveraging these widely-used tools, Centerbase ensures that law firms can maximize their existing technology investments. This synergy not only boosts cost efficiency but also ensures smooth and successful user adoption. 

Paul Bridgewater, President & CEO of Centerbase, remarks, “Our commitment to enhancing legal practice through technology is unwavering. The introduction of our Native Document Management Solution is a testament to this promise. By harnessing the power of the Microsoft ecosystem, we are not just providing a tool for today but future-proofing law firms for tomorrow. This solution paves the way for incorporating advanced technologies like AI, ensuring that the technology journey for law firms is both beneficial and cost-effective in the long term.” 

The native document management solution is also a step forward in reducing the additional costs and complexities associated with using external vendors.
