Kensington, MD (PRWEB) December 3, 2008 -- Equivio announced today that the legal solutions division of Pitney Bowes Management Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), one of the nation's largest full-service litigation support providers, has launched an Equivio-based service for the detection of near-duplicate documents and the reconstruction of email threads. Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions (PBLS) is offering Equivio as part of its end-to-end litigation support services.

Equivio's near-duplicate and email threads capability is fully integrated with the PBLS web-based repository, ReviewESI. The integration includes the ability to organize, assign and review documents by near-duplicate groupings, together with the Equivio>Compare tool which redlines the differences between similar documents. The integration also presents the email thread hierarchy, displaying all the branches and sub-branches of the thread.

"Our users tell us that redundant data, such as near-duplicates and email threads, are the largest addressable cost in legal review. The problem is that until you have the solution, the problem remains virtually invisible," said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. "Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions has recognized this and has been very active in educating the market, getting the technology out there, and showing law firms and corporate legal departments how they can use the Equivio technology to drive down litigation costs."
