H7b1 Adds Full
Unicode Technology
to its Swiss-based
European EDD Processing Centre.
Multilingual processing
solution covers Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Asian and
Arabic character sets.
GENEVA, Switzerland,
(May 29, 2007) - H7b1 (www.h7b1.com), the Swiss
firm pioneering litigation technology practice in
Europe, today announces the addition of a full Unicode
litigation technology solution in its Swiss-based
European EDD Processing Centre, providing multilingual
litigation support to international legal matters.
Current litigation
technology practice was developed in the United States,
with technology generally capable of supporting only
English or Latin character based languages. The difficulty
in using this technology to manage non-English contents
and non-Latin character sets has always been an issue
in European legal matters.
The term "Unicode"
refers to a character-coding technical standard designed
to support, in a single application, the characters
required for all of the diverse natural languages,
plus some artificial languages arising from technical
disciplines.
Since early 2006,
H7b1 has been using its Unicode processing solution
in an international legal matter where data was under
various character sets. It has since been used in
other European-related international projects, and
consolidated by the internal technology unit of H7b1.
A Litigation Technology
Powerhouse on the Continent
"With a robust technology solution
that supports Greek, Arabic, Cyrillic, Asian and Latin
character sets, we not only cover most languages for
the European zone, we offer our corporate and
legal clients a significant technology leap that the
business community has been calling for, in order
to remain competitive despite the growing litigation
and regulatory climate," said Rafik E. Abboud,
Partner and Chief Technology Architect for H7b1. "There
is a great deal at stake," he added.
