<b><i>Product Review:</b></i> Digital WarRoom Pro

By Christopher J. Spizzirri

Not long ago, Gallivan Gallivan & O'Melia LLC released a product named Digital WarRoom' (DWR) Pro for only $895 for a single license. It claimed DWR Pro could handle all electronic discovery needs in modest cases (less than 500,000 documents). This is still the only product I'm aware of that purports to offer this much functionality for this low a price. Frankly, it sounds too good to be true.

In January 2010, e-discovery luminary and prolific writer Craig Ball issued the EDna Challenge (bit.ly/y3CZ9U) to the market to develop a product that would handle all the modest e-discovery needs (data processing through document production) of a fictitious solo practitioner named Edna for less than $1,000. Although it is over two years old, I have found few offerings that come anywhere near meeting Ball's EDna Challenge. Gallivan Gallivan & O'Melia believes DWR Pro does. (See, “Craig Ball's Edna Challenge: Has It Been Met?,” Ride the Lightning, a blog by Sensei Enterprises President Sharon D. Nelson, bit.ly/A5xv26.)
