limitations NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FTI
Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm
dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their
enterprise value, today announced that its FTI Technology segment
will host a June 23 Webinar, "The Myth and Promise of Search
Technology for E-Discovery," with featured speakers Vivian Tero of
IDC and Joe Looby, senior managing director of FTI Technology.
"Search technology can provide a number of benefits to the
e-discovery process, including faster review and reduced overall
cost, but search also has its limits," said Vivian Tero, program
manager for the compliance infrastructure group at IDC. "To avoid
risk, it's important for IT, legal and compliance teams to
understand the parameters of search technology and how to implement
effective processes for quality control." Search technology has
become an attractive resource for helping to expedite the
e-discovery process as legal, IT and compliance teams are under
increasing pressure to deliver results faster and with fewer
resources. However, for all of the promise that search technology
offers to e-discovery, a number of myths remain regarding search
technology and e-discovery. Some of these myths include the
efficacy of keyword searches, the idea that all search tools are
the same, and that U.S. and International Courts of Law maintain
disparate views on the effectiveness of specific search mechanisms
for corporate-focused discovery and litigation exercises. "When it
comes to search technology meeting the particular needs of the
e-discovery process, there isn't a silver bullet," said Joe Looby
of FTI Technology. "That's why a comprehensive process is needed to
supplement the use of any search technology. This Webinar will
provide attendees with a foundation of best practices so that they
are well-equipped to maximize the benefits of search and to
mitigate the inherent risks." The co-presenters, both industry
experts, will share best practices from leading industry groups
such as the Sedona Conference and TREC. Vivian Tero has evaluated
dozens of the leading e-discovery search tools as part of her
research and advisory services for corporate clients. Joe Looby is
a contributing author and lecturer at The Sedona Conference(TM),
for projects including: Best Practices on Search & Retrieval
Methods; and, Achieving Quality in the E-Discovery Process. Joe has
also participated in studies on search technology effectiveness,
sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the
Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA). To register for
