One of the most versatile and innovative solutions in litigation software, AD Summation Discovery Cracker is perfect for lower volume as well as large scale terabyte sized projects. It’s ideal whether used at a law firm, corporation or service provider.
From clients using one workstation to large firms employing a hundred servers or more, Discovery Cracker streamlines the eDiscovery process and provides access to case-critical information in real time.
The product is intelligently designed to support unlimited users managing multiple eDiscovery projects simultaneously. This design provides a collaborative platform for users to perform early case assessment and then process, produce and deliver the data to AD Summation iBlaze, Enterprise, CaseVantage and other leading litigation products for storage and review.
Discovery Cracker’s intuitive interface and vast feature capabilities allow users to discover, search and produce all responsive data – even when embedded inside image files. With automatic OCR for "image only" files, embedded files processing, and recognition of over 500 file types in 300+ languages, if the data is there to be found, Discovery Cracker will find it.
Each license is complemented by the heralded Discovery Cracker product support team at no extra cost. Over 60 years of combined knowledge in some of the most complex, high output processing environments means that customers can rely on a quick diagnosis and confident advice. Further, users are automatically notified and can receive upgrades and updates free of charge throughout their license term.

Take a look at some of the other features that set Discovery Cracker apart:
There are no separate modules to buy. Create unlimited PDF’s or TIFF’s, with endorsements, OCR image files, print paper, process international text characters, and so much more.
Leverage the collective power of your team without worrying about headcount. Discovery Cracker’s main user interface, the DC Console, can be installed on multiple machines at no additional cost allowing you to work smarter and faster.
Monitor and control all of your processing engines, projects, job priorities or get up to the second statuses as your data moves through your workflow from the DC Console.
Discovery Cracker offers you great flexibility and is highly scalable. Install in a single-box environment as a desktop solution or in a distributed processing, scalable environment, which allows you to optimize the hardware components to meet your EDD program demands.
New export enhancements allow users to save and reuse custom export settings for DII, CSV, and formats for many other litigation review applications. Discovery Cracker supports EDRM XML and DII load file creation as well as the ability to export to multiple litigation review solutions simultaneously. Users may also select the same field multiple times.
Work alone or collaboratively to ensure the integrity of your data prior to delivery. Automated quality control, paging and document sampling along with built in document and image viewers make it easy to identify any number of potential issues. Error notifications and easy “take action” options ensure that problem items are addressed and remedied prior to document review.
Distributed Processing combines the power of multiple computers working in harmony to process and deliver data. All processing tasks are automatically balanced across multiple processing engines without any manual intervention. Discovery Cracker seamlessly spreads the work and reports the progress to the user(s) in the form of real time reporting screens.
Save money by identifying and routing data from uncommon and expensive applications such as AutoCAD, Microsoft VISIO, or other proprietary applications to processing engines that have the corresponding applications already installed – no need to buy extra software.
The Discovery Cracker architecture offers a radical departure from other products in the industry. It leverages an industrial-strength distributed processing design that can automatically share the workload across multiple computers, highlighting the benefits of our “plug and play” technology. Discovery Cracker offers you great flexibility and is highly scalable. The Discovery Cracker program can be deployed in a single-box environment as a desktop solution or in a distributed processing, scalable environment, which allows you to optimize the hardware components to meet your EDD program demands.
The Discovery Cracker single-box solution installs all the Discovery Cracker components on a single computer: Discovery Cracker Console, DC Engine, Workflow Manager and QC Server. The single-box solution is designed for a lower volume of eDiscovery processing.
The Discovery Cracker advanced solution gives you the opportunity to install the Discovery Cracker components individually so you can scale the solution according to your business needs. You can install the components on a couple of computers (in any combination) or on many computers according to the terms of your license and the guidelines listed in the Discovery Cracker Component descriptions in our installation guide. The Advanced Solution is designed for multiple users, processing multiple eDiscovery tasks simultaneously within the demanding business environment.
