Nexidia Partners with National Data Conversion
Complimentary Audio Restoration and Search Technologies to Aid Electronic Discovery Industry
NEW YORK, Jan. 30 -- Nexidia, the developer and provider of the most effective phonetic based technology for audio search, today announced a partnership with National Data Conversion (NDC) that will strengthen their support of the growing electronic discovery industry.
NDC is a leading backup tape restoration, data conversion and discovery firm with a focus on the litigation support industry. NDC's 20+ years of restoration and recovery experience are crucial to those involved in litigation or investigations that need to access electronic data from archived media such as backup tapes and optical disks. Regulations have recently changed to include voicemails, voice logging and other sound recordings as discoverable data.
This type of data discovery has not been embraced in the past because it is typically resource intensive and cost prohibitive. With recent advances in the restoration, conversion and searching of audio related evidence, those issues no longer apply. Nexidia's phonetic-based technology allows for a scalable and more accurate search of this discoverable data.
"The biggest benefit of this partnership for our customers is that this technology allows for a truly effective and efficient review of data. The amount of audio data housed by companies has been increasing and until now discovery had been prohibitively slow and inefficient for clients," said Michael Daniec, President and CEO, National Data Conversion. "This partnership with Nexidia leverages our combined strengths to provide a significant advance in this field."
The goal of this partnership is to provide a seamless path from recovery to indexed searchable data, quickly and cost-effectively. The litigation support industry requires assistance to be successful in their discovery endeavors and companies such as Nexidia and NDC are able to provide those valuable expertise and resources.
"NDC offers a superb service to their clients and our partnership with them is a logical next step for us," said John Willcutts, President and CEO of Nexidia. "We are seeing a growing need for our search technology, especially after the new regulations that went into effect on December 1, 2006, and we are pleased to take the lead in meeting the needs of the litigation support market."
This partnership is effective immediately.
