      OpenText Investigation resources

      • ECA is the initial evaluation of a legal case to determine its merits, risks, and costs. It helps legal teams control costs, assess risks, preserve evidence, and make strategic legal decisions, early.

      • ECA is a preliminary assessment to evaluate case merits early to guide strategy and settlement decisions, while eDiscovery is the formal process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information for legal proceedings.

      • ECA assesses legal case merits, risks, and costs to inform litigation strategy, while investigations determine facts about potential misconduct or compliance issues. Investigations focus on uncovering the truth about specific incidents or allegations.

      • Effective ECA solutions offer data visualization, AI-powered analytics, and automated categorization for early case insights. Other valuable tools include predictive search, concept clustering, timeline analysis, and integrated legal-hold capabilities.

      • Fully integrate it into legal workflows, use its AI-powered analytics to identify key documents, connect it with case management systems, establish standardized processes, leverage visualization tools, and regularly review metrics to continuously improve their approach.
