The Delium Story

Tactics

Delium is the marriage of tactics and technology to produce the best outcome for your client. 

In 425 BC the Boeatians, allies of the Spartans, and Athenians were at war. The Athenians fought with greater numbers. The Boeatians, with lesser numbers, acted tactically, applied new technology and won – Delium was saved.

Delium continues the tradition of combining clever tactics and technology to help you win.

Tactics & Technology

The flame in our logo represents a flame thrower, innovative new technology used for the first time in the Battle of Delium.

The surrounding circle represents a new tactic and strategy used in the same Battle of keeping a reserve force ready to surround and overwhelm the opposition after the initial fray (eDiscovery) had been completed.

Common Evidence Framework

In many cases, lawyers handle multiple related claims that share evidentiary materials, such as class actions or litigation subject to a Government Inquiry or Regulatory Review. These shared materials typically include both common objective information and case-specific data and analysis.

Traditional litigation support databases manage each related collection separately, leading to redundant efforts, higher costs and an increased risk of data errors and compromised analysis.

Delium’s Common Evidence Module is different. This patent protected functionality stores the objective information for all documents into a single common case database and stores the unique subjective analysis in separate Satellite case databases. This approach allows for all evidence to be collected, objectively processed and stored once, reducing cost, effort and the likelihood of error whilst enhancing analytical outcomes.

Why people love Delium

It was only after some time that I realised I had been taken to the same document for different purposes, and that the document had a significance and integrity of its own, over and above the passages being referred to. This is easy to appreciate in a hard copy where one must necessarily have some understanding of the whole document before one can find and analyse the particular passages being referred to.
eHearing Participant
The ability to cut and paste relevant parts of documents into my Judgment saved considerable time.
eHearing Participant
There was significant public interest in the Trial particularly from the media. Delium was configured so that significant documents could be downloaded by accredited media agencies reducing greatly the administration and expense of this service and ensuring the public was properly informed on the progress of the trial.
eHearing Participant
Delium was comfortably used by all concerned.
eHearing Participant
The hyperlinking in transcript was very effective, and the side-by-side view made nightly review very easy.
eHearing Participant
Delium’s Publish to User functionality meant we could share documents with our team, opposing Counsel, and the Court, without exposing them to the witness.
eHearing Participant
The ability for legal practitioners to control document publication made the process seamless.
Presiding Judge
Delium has been bulletproof; it has evolved in interesting and useful ways since I first started using it.
eHearing Participant
Everything has gone incredibly smoothly from a technical perspective, and the parties are totally on board with preparing examination lists in advance, making the presentation process much more manageable.
eHearing Participant
Counsel are starting to see how efficient things can be when they prepare their publish lists in advance and can be confident the required document will be available when they need it.
eHearing Participant
Delium was a pleasure to use. I found that I was doing my own searches and retrieving information without delay, difficulty, or interruption to the conduct of the trial. On some occasions, I even began to feel frustrated when Counsel, relying on hard copy documents, were causing minor delays.
Justice David Bleby South Australian Supreme Court
Delium provides new horizons, not only of efficiency but of availability and quality of information.
eHearing Participant
The speed of access to obscure passages by simple and efficient search processes saved enormous time in retrieval. The text was presented in a form that was easy to read, as indeed were the documents and the data relating to them.
eHearing Participant
The ability to be 'on the same, but personalised, page' at all times and for all involved is a GAME CHANGER!
eHearing Participant
This is the first time in my history of working on cases that I can walk into a courtroom with just my laptop.
eHearing Participant
The ability to upload our examination outlines into a private space and hyperlink to the evidence we wanted to present in a matter of minutes was wonderful. Delium made me feel in full control of the examination process.
eHearing Participant
The availability of such a comprehensive record after hearings was invaluable in the creation of my arbitral determination.
eHearing Participant
Delium's hyperlinking tool is amazing - it saved me hours of work.
