As we all finish unpacking from LegalTech New York 2014, it’s time to sum up the key news from the annual conference. It can be difficult for legal technology vendors to start each new year. Product development for legal technology happens year-round and at any point in time, a manufacturer will have a new product and service, or an update to an existing one. For example, prior to LTNY 2013, Cicayda launched its Firmata Legal Hold software that sits atop the e-discovery software as a service provider’s proprietary search NLP (natural language processing) analytics engine.
Since LTNY 2013, Cicayda released Staccato ECA, which culls and reduces data sets by de-NISTing and de-duplicating data, and Drone, a data production analyzer that provides an analysis of key people, organization, dates and other entity relationships in a document. Then prior to LTNY 2014, the Nashville-based company announced that it had raised $3.8 million in B-round capital investment. So if I was only interested in what was new at LTNY 2014, I would have been disappointed had I not “leaned in” to my conversation with Roe Frazier, CEO of Cicayda.
