According to the announcement, Armatus enables attorneys to maximize the benefits of their existing eDiscovery production and to collaborate with in-room and distributed litigation teams in new and powerful ways, including through the preparation of witnesses in advance of depositions.

In the fall of 2021, 67 eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey participants chose to answer at least one of the optional business operational metric survey questions in the quarterly survey. 47.0% of respondents reported increasing Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).

Past ways of moving along the business relationship continuum from stranger to acquaintance to trusted collaborator, employee, or partner that relied on rapport-building no longer remain as pre-COVID opportunities for socially serendipitous encounters such as after-work happy hours, coffee breaks at conferences, and intra-industry networking events have been greatly diminished. The cues that would be present in these face-to-face interactions are largely viewed as essential for establishing trust in deepening relationships and achieving professional goals such as concluding transactions. However, there may be some compensatory affordances for lack of face-to-face interactions such as trusted referrals, more ‘objective’ evaluations, and equalization of access for those in more peripheral geographic locations.

The latest revision is now available for consideration and use by business, legal, and eDiscovery professionals involved in potential or actual Second Request investigations.

Validity in research basically establishes how correctly a particular approach measures something and how closely findings are to actual values or concepts being examined. It indicates whether findings from particular research can be trusted. Achieving validity is very important to ensure that findings from research can be correctly used and interpreted in such a way that stakeholders of the study are able to make informed appropriate decisions based on research findings.
