Veritone is one of the leading machine-translation service providers with a robust translation library that merges dictionaries with machine learning to handle things like vernacular, slang, and foreign language typos; all leading to more accurate and automated translations. Foreign language documents can substantially hinder eDiscovery review progress and before the integration with Veritone the typical Axcelerate workflow would be to detect foreign language documents and simply batch them out to specially retained native-language document review attorneys. Native language document review attorneys are significantly more expensive to retain than English speaking review attorneys. This integration enables clients to use machine translations and kick off translation jobs directly from Axcelerate instead. Added benefits include:
Machine translations are consistent—no difference in interpretation like there would be between different human speakers and the machine never gets tired or lazy
Machine translations are fast—executed in a fraction of the time that it would take for manual translation or the aggregated time of having to hire specialized reviewers and design a workflow for them
Machine translations can be tracked/audited—Human reviewers are the true “black box” in the equation; how do you know they translated documents correctly and consistently?
Note limitations though:
ONE way translation to English only
Separate contract required with Veritone to actually execute the translations (we provide the integration and API free of charge)
Cloud only
Veritone only for now, but the API can be repurposed for other translation engines down the road

Improve productivity with next generation search
Theme: Modernization & usability
Audience: Knowledge workers, eDOCS users, law firms, corporate law departments and industries with high-touch, high-volume product matter.
The challenge to be solved. What is the user pain? What did they do before?:
Lawyers lose precious time searching for information related to a time-sensitive case or client request.
Searching for specific content with traditional file lists are as cumbersome as they are frustrating and time consuming while putting client matter and projects at risk by not finding the most current information.
What we’ve done to solve it:
What is MindServer?
MindServer technology securely crawls and indexes information from inside eDOCS legal content management system. From the indices, MindServer creates concept models tailored to the legal information contained within the content management system based on content and extended metadata. These concept models significantly improve the accuracy of content search results by identifying related information and ranking search results by relevance. As documents change and new information is added, MindServer incrementally crawls and updates the models, ensuring that search results are current.
What’s New in EP7:
With the introduction of MindServer into eDOCS in OpenText Release 16 EP7, an optional add-in, eDOCS users can quickly and automatically build search models they can reuse to find the most relevant information available, including related matters and authors. Users also can search metadata and document content for complete results.
As MindServer AI-powered search securely crawls and indexes information from inside eDOCS, legal teams can save valuable time while gaining more complete case, project and client knowledge.
eDOCS MindServer features and benefits include:
Leverage conceptual search models to surface relevant information without knowing precise keywords
Save and share searches for fast access to the most current and priority projects, eliminating search set-up duplications
Quickly find information while working inside your favorite Microsoft Office applications
Access across devices from inside the InfoCenter UI for a consistently powerful experience
Value to the customer:
Overall value: Important to eDOCS installed base. With eDOCS MindServer, users can quickly and automatically produce search models that can scale to analyze increasingly bigger volumes of complex information. With faster, more accurate, “find” results, users don’t waste time searching improving overall strategic performance and business results.
Feature – InfoCenter (IC) for Office
(Elevator pitch – one sentence)
Expedite productivity - access eDOCS within your favourite Office application
Theme: Modernization & usability
Audience: Knowledge workers, eDOCS users, law firms, corporate law departments and industries with high-touch, high-volume product matter.
The challenge to be solved. What is the user pain? What do they do otherwise/without this personalization?:
Users need access to their information and governed content while working daily in Microsoft Office business applications. While users have had access to eDOCS before from the ribbon view of their authoring applications – they had to inconveniently change their ribbon view to access eDOCS features and functionality.
What we’ve done to solve it:
What is InfoCenter (IC) for Microsoft Office add-in?
Provides an eDOCS panel insert into MS Office (word, ppt and excel)
Web based, modern interface leveraging the same InfoCenter code base and connecting the eDOCS repository with MS Office
Don’t let “add-in” fool you. This is a full featured eDOCS client that can:
Search
Share
Edit Security
Create a Workspace
Save a search
and more…
With the new IC Office add-in, users don’t need to leave their work in progress or go to another ribbon in Office to perform an action in eDOCS. Now, users can stay on the editing ribbon and perform eDOCS functions simultaneously.
What’s New in EP7:
eDOCS IC user interface now provides an integration with Microsoft Office business applications (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). While users previously and still have access to their content with DM extensions, new personalization capabilities further streamline productivity by allowing users to remain inside their favorite Microsoft authoring application with the new add-in while accessing content from eDOCS with one-click.
Value to the customer:
Overall value: Users can work in one business application, side-by-side with both their MS work product of choice (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) and eDOCS. This increases efficient productivity by cutting down on clicks required to manage content throughout its lifecycle.
Users are empowered to stay in their work environment of choice and save, find or share relevant information without having to leave Office and access a different UI.
For organizations, this increases user adoption and compliant practices across the organization with use of eDOCS intuitive user interface across applications and devices. Supports mobile workers with access documents securely “anywhere, anytime”.

The challenge to be solved. What is the user pain? What do they do otherwise/without this?:
Many content management systems today are rigid, inflexible and don’t provide a seamless work experience - all contributing to content chaos and technology management overload.
