CT Summation Enterprise

CT Summation Enterprise handles huge amounts of information by integrating the functionality of CT Summation iBlaze and CT Summation WebBlaze litigation software together with the scalability of a Microsoft® SQL Server database, helping clients manage the large volume of information involved in many of today’s cases.

The CT Summation suite of products goes beyond what iBlaze and WebBlaze offer to help manage large cases, including:

  • Production workflow tools that allow the review of the history of a production set, recall productions sets, and base new production sets off of an existing production set
  • Review sets that facilitate volume coding projects by creating and assigning discrete, isolated record groups for users to review and/or code
  • A 32-bit form editor that creates common forms for use in both iBlaze and WebBlaze
  • Keyword searching capabilities of eDiscovery documents, electronic documents, e-mail messages, or attachments, as well as HotFacts, images, and OCR (optical character recognition) documents
  • SQL server database that can handle millions of documents per case
  • Single point of administration for both iBlaze and WebBlaze
