Enhancing collaboration with the @mentions feature in document annotations
In the dynamic eDiscovery landscape, where collaboration and efficiency are paramount, DISCO introduces the "@mentions" feature within document annotations. Recognizing the industry's need for swift, accurate data processing and seamless team coordination, "@mentions" facilitates direct, context-specific communication among legal reviewers. Users can now engage with colleagues in real-time, pinpointing specific document sections and streamlining discussions. This enhancement not only addresses the challenges of collaboration and communication inefficiencies but also positions our platform distinctively in the market, combining thoughtful UX with a solution tailored to our customers' unique needs.
