September 25, 2013, Houston – SHMsoft, a leader in open source software for eDiscovery, is pleased to announce the latest additions to its FreeEed family of eDiscovery applications. The software is capable of indexing terabytes of documents for subsequent legal review, at speeds of over 100 GB/hour, and at costs of under $1/GB, on Amazon EC2 cloud, on a local workstation or on a cluster made out of spare capacity of the office PCs. Thus, one can safely claim that ”My data never leaves my office.” The newest capabilities include OCR, internationalization and browser-based first-look review. Simplified documentation is now part of the source code on GitHub.
The FreeEed product is intended for enterprises bringing eDiscovery in-house, for integrators and consultants who are preparing their eDiscovery tool boxes, and for auditors, who essentially need to do eDiscovery tasks but without the eDiscovery price tag. Whether one is looking for the first pass review of his data or needs to cull down the volume significantly before he sends it to an eDiscovery vendor, he owes it to himself to evaluate FreeEed.
FreeEed is completely open source under business-friendly Apache 2.0 license. It is based on Hadoop, the de-facto standard for Big Data back-end technologies, and works with all major Hadoop distributions. The work is underway to have it certified on HortonWorks’ HDP.
SHMsoft CEO Mark Kerzner said,

On the cloud portion of FreeEed code, Sujee Maniyam, a partner in Hadoop Illuminated LLC said,
