CT Summation iBlaze 2.9 Pre-Release

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

They haven’t released the new version to partners, yet, but I did spend some time on a webinar taking a quick look at it. I found it really interesting that they are moving away from the alternating menus and toolbars based on your view. Basically, much like Office 2007, only well before Microsoft did it, the menu options and toolbars would change as you moved from database views, to image view to eDocs view, etc. In 2.9 they’re changing it. Now the menu, search box and main toolbar will always remain in view, as is. Options not available in the view you are currently in will be grayed out.

They are adding a small toolbar that sits at the top of the individual view, that is where you’ll have quick access to options that are specific to that view. It’s interesting that they are going to this because of the large number of complaints they’ve gotten about users getting confused with the other layout. I wonder if this will help the software be easier to use for most people, or harder for those who have managed to get used to it the way it is? I’ve heard plenty of complaints myself about how hard it is to navigate around, so I’ll be interested to see, when we get around to upgrading, if that fixes those, or makes it worse.

    Linked: Ongoing M365 Tenant Upgrades/Migrations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It’s not normal for us to be using a platform that works one way, then changes and works another way two weeks later, but that is absolutely the way the Agile development is going to happen. The decision to change will be pushed by the business case for making the change, eDiscovery will be a second thought, if a thought at all.

    That means two things in my mind in addition to the things Greg lays out in his post below.

    1. You have to test, test, test. Constantly. You have to stay on top of new features, old feature changes, undocumented changes, etc.

    2. The legal industry as a whole is going to have to get a lot more comfortable with “good faith efforts” being a little more of a gray area as these changes get made. What we could collect easily before, may require a lot more time and effort today, or it may not be possible today because of a bug in a recent update.

    It’s going to happen. Whether you want to talk about M365, Google, cloud document management, cloud review platforms, or even cloud backups. Things will happen beyond our ability to control them, and those things will impact eDiscovery. Are we going to be OK accepting that?

    It’s my considered opinion that whether we’re talking about real life or blog-life, the people who have integrity don’t really have to spend any time talking about their integrity. Much has been made of the fact that people like Chris and Doc were given paid trips to Redmond for a Microsoft event and whether or…

    If you’ve been in one of my classes, you’re familiar with some examples of why you want to run a search hit report early on, especially before you’ve agreed to the terms! I’ve shared my own experiences many times with students. What made that process difficult was the negotiation with opposing counsel.  My client had…
