Author: Jérôme Torres Lozano, Director of Professional Services, Inventus

Over the next two weeks, we’re taking a slightly different approach on the blog. In today’s article, the first of two parts, we will hear from Jérôme Torres-Lozano of Inventus, a user of Iconic’s Neural MT solutions for e-discovery.
