Onto premium eDiscovery - How Nuix Workstation, Investigate, and Discover Work Together

Nuix Workstation and Nuix Investigate are robust and reliable components in the Nuix suite that offer fast processing and review capabilities while ensuring complete data isolation at a fixed price point, regardless of the volume of data being processed. For more advanced eDiscovery, such as AI-assisted review, translations, transcription, direct Excel-redaction, and legal production, Nuix Discover SaaS serves as the premium extension tailored for legal teams.

Nuix Workstation and Nuix Investigate - Collaborative Analysis on the Same Cases:

    • Shared Case Foundation: Both Nuix Workstation and Nuix Investigate are designed to look into the same cases but serve different purposes in the investigative process. The case begins with Nuix Workstation, which lays the foundation by processing and preparing the data. This includes extracting, indexing, and organizing the vast amounts of unstructured data from various sources.

    • Seamless Transition: Once the data is processed in Nuix Workstation, it transitions seamlessly into Nuix Investigate without needing to export and re-import between systems. This seamless transition is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that nothing is lost or altered during the transfer.

    • In-Depth Analysis in Nuix Investigate: In Nuix Investigate, investigators and analysts work on the same case, delving deeper into the data prepared by Nuix Workstation. They can perform advanced searches, pattern analysis, and detailed reviews. The tool provides capabilities for tagging, annotation, and collaborative review, enabling teams to highlight and discuss significant findings.

Promoting Data into Nuix Discover:

    • Selective Promotion: As the investigation progresses, certain subsets of data identified as relevant or crucial in Nuix Investigate are 'promoted' to Nuix Discover. This promotion is a selective process, focusing on data pertinent to the legal aspects of the case.

    • Process of Promotion: The process involves marking specific documents, emails, or other digital artifacts within Nuix Investigate and then transferring them into Nuix Discover. This is typically done when the data is ready for the legal review stage or needs to be prepared for presentation or disclosure.

    • Nuix Discover for Final Review and Production: Once in Nuix Discover, the promoted data undergoes final legal review and preparation. Here, legal teams can perform compliance checks, redact sensitive information, and prepare the data for legal proceedings. Nuix Discover's tools are specifically designed for these tasks, ensuring that the data meets legal standards and is ready for courtrooms or other formal settings.

In conclusion, Nuix Workstation and Nuix Investigate are integrally linked in analyzing and reviewing the same cases, providing a comprehensive and detailed investigation process. The ability to promote data from Nuix Investigate to Nuix Discover adds another layer of efficiency, enabling teams to prepare and present their findings effectively in legal contexts. This integrated workflow ensures streamlined and effective handling of digital evidence from initial processing to legal presentation.
