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.

Patent Protected Functionality – Granted US, Australian and Canadian Patents

Delium includes two patented elements relating to “Evidentiary Information” and “Multiple Proceedings” which allow us to claim:

  • Delium is the only eTrial product that can provide a truly paperless and personal electronic courtroom experience capable of being run by the legal teams.
  • Delium is the most efficient eDiscovery software for managing multiple related cases, substantially saving effort and cost by minimizing duplication of processing and review effort

Common Evidence Framework

In a variety of scenarios lawyers work with multiple related cases or claims that share some evidentiary materials (for example, class action types claims or litigation that becomes the subject of a Government Inquiry or Regulatory Review). Typically, in such cases, shared materials have both common objective information and unique case specific data and analysis.

Other litigation support databases manage each related collection individually, requiring significant duplication of effort and cost and resulting in a high likelihood of data errors and compromised analytical efforts.

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.
The ability to cut and paste relevant parts of documents into my Judgment saved considerable time.
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.
