BlackCat

BlackCat data presentation delivers clean, easily managed data storage, reporting and analytics in a secure, private, web-browser environment with no client-side software requirements. Documents and files are accessible to BlackCat either temporarily on their way to other hosted environments, or permanently, as a sophisticated-yet-simple contracts, records or litigation document repository. 

  • Easy, instinctual point & click reporting
  • Unlimited search, correlation and classification capabilities
  • Data tracking, trend-lining and forecasting
  • Ability to track processing, analysis, retention and review progress in real-time

BlackCat allows users to run processing, analytics, quality control and auditing processes simultaneously with migration and hosting efforts; offering a completely scalable, parallel-processing workflow model for high-volume, complex data scenarios.
