Extract from Robert Hilson’s article “Blackout, the preeminent native redactions technology, is now live in Reveal Enterprise”
Picture this: Your client, a leading pharmaceutical company, faces a product liability suit requiring the voluminous production of clinical trial data spanning thousands of Excel spreadsheets embedded with trade secrets and other acutely sensitive materials.
Patient identifiers, proprietary research formulas, graphs showing clinical trial results – it’s all there, hidden in rows and columns and cells.
Traditional redaction methods would require converting each spreadsheet to PDF, manually identifying sensitive information across countless cells while cross-referencing the natives, and losing the functionality that opposing counsel specifically requested. The result? Weeks of manual work, potential privilege waiver risks, and frustrated legal teams managing an inefficient process.
It’s a common, high-stakes challenge – and one that just got much easier to solve.
We’re pleased to announce that Blackout, the legal industry’s premier automated redaction technology, is now fully integrated into the Reveal Enterprise platform, and available at no extra cost to customers who request access.
