hotels that charge extra for internet access are perceived as taking advantage of guests , especially given the number of places that offer this service for free .
while consumers use social media to complain about how slow internet connections are at hotels , it is not uncommon for hotel guests to praise hotel brands that are known for fast , reliable internet service .
while complaints about internet fees charged by hotels are common , rolling internet charges into a generic
resort fee
heightens resentment among hotel guests .
loyalty club members have come to expect free internet as a perk at their hotel of choice .
if you book via any channel other than directly through the hotel , call the hotel to confirm your reservation and get the hotel ' s confirmation number for your reservation .
ask the hotel staff if internet is included in the room rate or if there are additional fees so there are no surprises when you check out .
to make the check - in process quick and easy , have your reservation confirmation , credit card and driver ' s license ready . verify that the rate charged is the rate originally quoted .
if you have a problem during your stay , report it to the front desk right away - - the hotel staff can ' t help if they aren ' t aware that there is an issue .
most hotels have established checkout times ranging from 11 a . m . to 2 p . m . if you need additional time , request it in advance ; otherwise , you may be charged an additional fee .

columbus e - discovery roundtable breakfast ( fri . jan . 20 ) – “designing an effective e - discovery workflow”
then there were the “e - discovery gobblers” that continue to exemplify the spate of mergers , acquisitions , and consolidation in the e - discovery marketplace .
i’ve written about e - discovery project management for technolawyer and that article is available here .
about logik : logik is an ediscovery processing company located in washington , dc . logik helps corporations , law firms , government agencies and service providers simplify electronic data sought in discovery requests . logik ' s innovative and highly distributed processing platform , gridlogik , was developed to process all kinds of unstructured and structured data sets such as email databases , spreadsheets , images and ms office documents . combined with their transparent pricing model , logik offers customers the smart way to discover accurate results and make sense of processing costs . find out more at logik . com .
many people may claim not to have heard of e - discovery , but in fact , e - discovery has played a starring role in many of the most famous legal battles of the past few decades .
at our core logik is a document management company focused on developing user friendly software for legal professionals . specifically ediscovery software .
media interested in setting up an interview with a representative from logik should email press ( at ) logik ( dot ) com or call 800 - 951 - 5507 .
most discovery still comes in the form of testimony or recorded interrogations . discovery can also involve physical items , like medical exams or a defective product . but increasingly , discovery is focused on electronically stored information ( esi ) , which is why lawyers often use the term e - discovery to distinguish the discovery of electronic records from other forms of discovery .
are you the founder ? tell us a little bit about the premise of logik .
the purpose of this guide is to describe the fundamentals of e - discovery . if you are involved in modern litigation or investigations , you will almost certainly encounter e - discovery . however , we should note that while the legal profession now recognizes e - discovery as a distinct practice area , the word is really an artificial construct .
details are posted on the e - discovery beat blog from exterro and you can also click the registration link .
we left that company in 2004 to start logik systems , which we shortened to just logik a few years after launch . our business model was simple : no printing—keep everything electronic / digital and charge a flat per - gigabyte price (

lawyers have known for almost 30 years that digital documents—especially e - mail—are a key to winning many types of cases . e - discovery is the art and science of collecting , preserving , reviewing , and presenting digital evidence for litigation . though it may seem like an exotic practice area , e - discovery has a long and important history .
logik systems , inc . was created to make the process of ediscovery more efficient and less paper - based
built logik into an inc 200 company in 5 years . then spent the next 3 years building urltoken to automate most of what we did during the previous 5 years .
i regard tom as one of the most informed folks on state e - discovery rules , and regularly provides updates on the topic such as this one from september 9 , 2010 . i depended heavily on tom’s research when i wrote my article “ mining e - discovery stateside ” for urltoken .
there is nothing whatsoever wrong with any of these shifts in the marketplace . i see it as simply the e - discovery industry growing and evolving .
e - discovery is really just another way to describe discovery , the process of obtaining and exchanging evidence , or information that might potentially become evidence , in litigation . but as the world has moved almost exclusively to electronic communications , some legal professionals began adding the “e” to make it clear that electronic records were now involved . so at a basic level , e - discovery describes the process of discovery , updated to address the challenges and complications of collecting , reviewing , and producing evidence in the modern , digital world .
super fluper cool to see a company be successful without vc help . you , 37 and logik , are an inspiration to me , and here is plain matter of fact – urltoken
this is a great example for all people trying to start a company . i like the culture logik have developed around their company , it shows that they trust their employees and i am sure that has a lot to do with their success .
blackstone discovery is logikcull ' s # 2 rival . blackstone discovery ' s headquarters is in palo alto , california , and was founded in 2003 . like logikcull , blackstone discovery also competes in the application software space . blackstone discovery generates 106 % of logikcull ' s revenue .
san francisco - - ( business wire ) - - logikcull , the san francisco - based discovery automation company , has . . .
e - discovery again played a starring role in the 1998 microsoft monopoly trial . in that case , bill gates became whiny , insolent , and defensive on the stand as his own e - mails were read back to him . in these e - mails , recovered from microsoft ' s email servers , bill gates asked his subordinates to think of creative ways to sabotage the company ' s rivals .
indeed great idea for those posts . is it me or 37 logo and logik’s on have very similar elements ? : )
as a nifty bonus , every attendee will receive a free copy of the recent page vault report “ e - discovery trends 2017 : web content collection . ”
tom allman will be giving his fourth annual fios webcast on the state of the states’ adoption of e - discovery rules on thursday , december 9 , 2010 .
once again , grimm made his mark in e - discovery in this wage - and - hour case brought by several mayflower employees . grimm held that the failure of opposing counsel to cooperate and work out disputes on their own was the biggest reason why e - discovery costs were skyrocketing . he strongly advised counsel from both sides to work together and make the e - discovery phase move more smoothly . the parties settled in november 2009 . many judges have followed grimm by advising attorneys before them to cooperate and hold regular conferences before even setting foot into court . the proposed e - discovery amendments to the federal rules of civil procedure also contain a duty to cooperate .
as you move through this book , there will be some terminology that is specific to the e - discovery practice . here are some of the essential terms to know :
xact data discovery acquired c : dox , orange legal technologies , and most recently f1 discovery over the last 3 years and they seemed poised for continued growth .
update : archived recording of the webinar is available from encore discovery solutions here .
logik’s customer service is excellent and no question is too dumb . they want you to be able to handle and review the data yourself .
“ can you follow the rules ? understanding how the federal rule amendments impact e - discovery ” will take place at 12 : 00pm et on wednesday , june 8 , 2016 .
here are some notes and observations from this year . as usual , the overriding topics circled around e - discovery but i found some interesting items in the cracks of the midtown hilton .
i highly recommend registering for tom’s fios webinar on december 9 , 2010 , and make it a point to learn more about how e - discovery rules are being adopted by the states .
first , no corporation that i’ve worked with in the last few years involved in e - discovery has unlimited financial resources . true the legal department may enjoy a little more latitude in spending than other departments because of the pressures of corporate litigation , but unfortunately , a lot of that money is not spent on thorough , carefully considered e - discovery tools or scrutinized workflows .
brett burney will be participating in an e - discovery roundtable breakfast on friday , january 20 , 2012 in columbus , oh . brett will be joining geoff wilcox of black letter discovery , marc fulkert of jones day , and joe grespin of techlaw solutions . details below :
before logikcull was a tech start - up , it was a highly profitable company called logik that helped law firms with discovery . and by highly profitable , i mean $ 3 million a year in profit from 2004 - 2009 with just seven employees . but , when the recession hit and business began to dry up , wilson and yang pivoted and began investing company cash to build logikcull .
thanks for the article . i don’t know much about the legal industry , but i propose dropping the “e” and just calling it discovery . it seems like this is the way discovery should be done . if anything deserves an awkward spelling it’s the old tree - churning way : )
brett burney will be participating in a webcast sponsored by exterro entitled “ advances in e - discovery project management ” on tuesday , march 19 at 1 : 00pm est / 10 : 00am pst .
the topic is a popular one these days . many legal professionals “manage” projects everyday , but the intricacies of e - discovery require that we adopt traits found in the technical discipine of project management .
attenex opened up new ideas for how legal professionals could attack a large collection of documents in different ways than a linear list . we affectionally called the attenex interface the “petri dish” of e - discovery .
an excellent it perspective on e - discovery today from ira winkler entitled “ arrogant lawyers : the greatest threat to your organization . ” winkler is a well - respected writer on corporate information security .
this chapter describes and defines electronic discovery , or “e - discovery , ” for anyone involved in the processes of litigation or investigations . it should provide an introduction and overview of the basic concepts and terms you will need to begin any conversation around the practice of electronic discovery . following chapters will dive into more nuanced and specific issues within the process of managing electronic evidence in litigation .

understanding e - discovery begins with understanding the federal rules of civil procedure . don ' t worry - we ' re not going to make you take a civil procedure class . however , it is important to understand that the federal rules of civil procedure describe and define the discovery of electronic information . in fact , the rules have been updated twice already to address the specific concerns of electronic discovery .
but this year , i had the pleasure of meeting e - discovery luminary skip walter who just recently joined fti . mr . walter was the founding ceo of attenex which really originated visual analytics for document review .
compared to this old school process , andy’s new technology saved time , kept data more secure and opened up new use cases beyond e - discovery . customers would be able to speed up the e - discovery process so it takes minutes or hours rather than weeks , cutting manual labor and associated costs . in other words , the product did a lot more than legacy systems , and he wanted to capture the additional value .

i’ve witnessed the same scenario in corporate environments concerning e - discovery that winkler describes in the first few paragraphs such as “information security staff traditionally look at their role in the e - discoery process as ensuring the integrity of the data…” and “many people are intimidated by their organization’s lawyers – they just want to follow orders and gather the data . ”
for example , in just about every corporation that i’ve worked with involving e - discovery , the it professionals have an extensive and thorough handle on e - mail . but when it comes to managing individual documents and files ( word , pdf , excel , ppt , etc . ) i have yet to find a secure , relevant and professional structure around the management of those documents . corporations rarely use any kind of document management system or if they do , it’s poorly implemented , and often circumvented to the point of uselessness . that certainly doesn’t help the process of e - discovery .
information governance is a more recent addition to the edrm . in recent year , large organizations have begun looking for ways to reduce e - discovery costs before litigation happens , which means managing esi from its initial creation through its final disposition .

at that point , discovery was done by literally printing out every potentially relevant email for attorneys to sift through .
perhaps the most sweeping change was to frcp 26 ( b ) ( 1 ) regarding proportionality and the scope of discovery . rule 26 ( b ) ( 1 ) was rewritten to limit discovery to that which is “proportional to the needs of the case” and provided five factors for courts to consider . this amendment redefined the scope of discovery so that parties must address concerns about whether the amount of discovery is reasonably necessary to resolve the case fairly .
logik started out as a desire to do something better ,
says andy wilson , co - founder and ceo at logik .
we worked for a long time in the ediscovery industry , watching the large vendors shuffle along , and we saw the mind - boggling inefficiencies . we saw insanely high rates . we saw a better way and we took a chance on it .
what’s your goal with the company ? not too long ago i was a naive entrepreneur thinking that one day i would eventually sell our company for an absurd amount of money , making everyone in the company rich . but i realized that 1 . although a huge cash payout would be nice it would have to be for the right reasons and 2 . if we are building a successful , profitable and fun company , why sell ? so , my goal is to continue building a successful , profitable and fun company . if we ever decide to sell our business it will be for the right reasons and with the right company .
that ' s exactly the formula logik continues to follow . fast processing + smart work + happy employees x extremely happy customers = 181 . at least , according the 2009 inc . 500 list .

i had the privilege of attending the inaugural corporate e - discovery hero awards celebration hosted by zapproved , d4 , and a few others . the “hero” part was a little cheesy , but the event was enjoyable , with brad harris doing a fine job emceeing the event .
“we don’t work with just any customer , because some customers can negatively affect your company culture with theirs . ”
the ediscovery world is consolidating at a rapid pace . may alone saw morae legal merge with clutch group , xact data discovery acquired by f1 discovery , discovia merge with lighthouse ediscovery , and altep bought up by advanced discovery . that’s four notable ediscovery m & as in just a few weeks—and that’s just the most recent history . a database of ediscovery deals put together by
of course , this case is an extreme example , but e - discovery is a fact in matters of all sizes . in fact , digital evidence is playing an increasingly important role in even family law and criminal cases . as we all live increasingly digital lives , we are all leaving a daily trail of electronic evidence that often tracks our every move . and it is all available for discovery .
i vividly remember when the attenex platform came across my desk . i opened the amlaw tech supplement in 2003 and got enraptured in the cover story on skip walter and then law firm preston gates & ellis on how they were working with this new fangled concept called e - discovery .
in 2005 , two consultants , george socha and tom gelbmann created the electronic discovery reference model . the name is clunky , and the model is by no means perfect , but it is the best and most commonly accepted description of the e - discovery process . not all litigation will follow all of the steps described ( and new steps have been added over the years ) , but it remains a useful guide .
the only problem was that every time i got to the booth i’d get interrupted by other potential corporate customers coming to ask questions . that lead to some great conversations , but i’ve got to find another avenue to get some really deep technical answers to e - discovery in office 365 .
happy birthday logik systems , inc . thank you for helping us realize our true mission and vision with logikcull . may you rest in peace . and thank you to everyone for helping to make this dream become a reality .
for litigation discovery , internal investigations , arbitrations , mergers and acquisitions , information governance , and intelligent document archiving to name a few .
winkler comments on how he has witnessed companies “try to image the data so that you cannot search the data with text based tools . there seems to be an attitude that if we can’t find the data , they can’t either . ” and while i agree with winkler that this is still unfortunately the attitude of many lawyers today , it’s not because the lawyers are arrogant , it’s because lawyers freely admit that they have no idea how an e - mail archiving system works ( or even if the company has one ) , don’t know how their company’s network share drives are set up , have no clue about the company’s backup procedures , and couldn’t tell you what e - mail system they’re using .
logikcull is a system that makes it quick for legal professionals , such as attorneys and paralegals , to manage documents for their discovery anywhere .

one of the most important questions in e - discovery today is how to properly and comprehensively collect web content and social media evidence . like e - mail , social media is one of the richest sources of relevant information about any litigation matter but many lawyers don’t understand how to properly collect it . we resort to old - school tools like the “print screen” button , or “print to pdf , ” but those tools are inadequate at collecting all the metadata and source information baked into the web .
logik began in the dining room of andy wilson ' s apartment as a simple , straight - forward idea . provide a faster , more accurate and more budget - friendly way to process ediscovery data . the hard part was inventing the technology .
now obviously , “content” is practically what it deals with at every level , seeing as they manage “information . ” but it doesn’t fret about e - mail messages or documents from the standpoint of what they contain – they are much more concerned about how and where the data is stored ( e . g . e - mail sub - folders & archives , network shares , what directories can they exclude out of a backup , etc . ) legal cares about the content of data first and then concerns themselves with where it can be located .
i’m thrilled to be presenting a webinar hosted by encore discovery solutions tomorrow ( friday , june 11 , 2010 ) entitled “ ediscovery project management . ”
it is also important to consider whether the acquiring company will operate at the same level or toward the same ends you’ve come to expect .
it was great to meet with president zoltan horvath ( who is super - nice although his name is perfect for being a villain in a flash comic ) , adam novick and the energetic laura marques and we had an excellent conversation about how the legal profession is still wrestling with load files and the need for simpler e - discovery tools .

andy and his co - founder sheng yang set out to rebuild logik from the bottom up , leveraging automation and software to streamline the process of managing digital information so companies could do it themselves without needing an expensive third - party vendor . andy counted 2 , 500 steps that were required to fulfill a client request as a services business . his goal was to cut that down to three steps or less with their saas offering . this would make it fast and easy for corporate legal teams , law firms and investigators to organize , search through and review a lot of unstructured data , a process they refer to as e - discovery .

as andy built a longer and longer list of use cases beyond traditional e - discovery , he started training the sales and account teams to accelerate product adoption within existing accounts by expanding the number of use cases . more use cases meant more users would want access to logikcull and more data would be brought into the software , giving andy two separate levers to upsell customers . in one example , andy sold a corporate legal team on the traditional e - discovery use case and expanded to six departments afterward . “we just said ‘hey , could you introduce us to the tax team ? we talked with customer x and they have this problem , and apparently logikcull is really good for that issue . ’ before you know it , it starts working its way up . ”

how do paralegals fit into the scheme of things . ( i’m trying to tie in a paralegal’s job to your company and why they should call you . )

discovery ,
or the process of sifting through emails and documents to find things relevant to the case at hand .
don ' t let opposing counsel or judges impose a set pattern on the process . just because one approach has worked for them in the past , doesn ' t mean it ' s always the right way to proceed . in addition , don ' t let the other party ' s timeline get in the way of what you need to do . the rules clearly state that , “methods of discovery may be used in any sequence , “ and “discovery by one party does not require any other party to delay its discovery . ”

some observers , even those associated with traditional software , have portended a similar evolution from on - premise to cloud to specialized cloud in the area of e - discovery , where , to paraphrase pombriant , good terminology is also corrupted to the point it becomes useless . other parallels between crm and legal technology applications abound - - and consuming the q & a with that context makes for a worthwhile thought experiment .

but one little tiny note i did catch is how each of these powerhouses are reacting to relativityone – which seemed to be an annoying , murmuring elephant in the room with a lot of e - discovery service providers . while folks from these larger service providers above were excited about the prospects of relativityone , most of the smaller , regional service providers were still fuming at the prospect of kcura undercutting their business models .
as significant as the amendments were to the federal rules of civil procedure , i believe it’s even more important at the state level , although many folks overlook them . in fact , i’ve had litigators tell me they don’t have to worry about that “e - discovery stuff” because their case isn’t in federal court , even thought they’re sitting in a state that has adopted the frcp amendments almost word - for - word .

i was hoping to talk with microsoft a little more at the show . almost every single corporate client i work with today is either using office 365 or gsuite on the backend and in - house counsel want to know how they can utilize the e - discovery tools built into those platforms . and with microsoft , we’ve all been anxious to see how they incorporate the well - respected equivio tools into their advanced ediscovery tools .

andy’s saas business has far eclipsed his old services company , and now , armed with a new $ 10 million funding round , the future of logikcull looks brighter than ever .

despite arriving late to customer discovery , andy points out that it’s had a powerful impact on his business , especially when he adds up the dozens of pricing experiments he’s conducted over the years .
the old rule 26 ( b ) ( 2 ) ( c ) ( iii ) was clear that a court could limit discovery when the burden outweighed benefit . however , new rule 26 ( b ) ( 1 ) , implemented by the december 1 , 2015 amendments , takes the factors in these old requirements and puts them at the heart of any discussion about the scope of discovery .
ldiscovery probably did more to mess with the heads of us e - discovery industry nerds with their new re - branding smushed together logo with krolldiscovery . i remember kroll’s reinventions through the years with marsh & mclennan , and altegrity , but now this is just a little weird . not to mention that ldiscovery has been on an absolute tear over the years with acquiring or merging with alphalit , renewdata , turnstone solutions , credence corporation and more .

another important fact to understand is that the the united states has a long tradition of broad discovery , which allows litigants to request a wide range of information and document types for almost any matter . attorneys in other countries are likely shocked and horrified at the amount of information discoverable in u . s . courts , as many countries have much more restrictive rules and regulations regarding the discovery of personal or private information .

e - discovery has played a starring role in the world of sports as well . in 2015 , new england patriot ' s quarterback tom brady instructed his assistant to destroy the cellphone that he had been using . brady ' s act was judged to be willful obstruction of justice and ,
a deliberate effort to ensure that investigators would never have access to information that he had been asked to produce ,
leading to a four - game suspension for the star .
in december 2006 , significant amendments to the frcp shaped the landscape for how e - discovery works today . among other changes , the 2006 amendments redefined discoverable material ; encouraged early attention to issues relating to ediscovery ; introduced the concept of “reasonably accessible” ; provided a procedure for asserting claims of privilege and work product after production ; and provide a mechanism for

discovery is the legal process governing the right to obtain and the obligation to produce non - privileged matter relevant to any party ' s claims or defenses in litigation . in other words , it is the legal procedure by which parties are required to exchange information and evidence with one another in state and federal courts . while we primarily describe discovery in the context of litigation , the process is also essential to investigations , arbitrations and , generally , other forms of dispute resolution whereby parties must gather facts .
arguably , the most important 2006 amendment was simply to include the words “electronically stored information” on the list of information that is discoverable throughout the discovery process . specifically , frcp rule 34 dictated disclosure and discovery related to “producing documents , electronically stored information , and tangible things or entering onto land , for inspection and other purposes . ” the phrase “electronically stored information” is broad enough to cover all current types of computer - based information and intended to be flexible enough to encompass future changes and technological developments .
