SAN DIEGO, June 20 / -- Anacomp® Inc., a leader in document and business process management solutions, recently announced the acquisition of CaseLogistix®, a premiere evidence and litigation management software solution. While the terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, Howard Dratler, Anacomp's Chief Executive Officer, said that the acquisition of CaseLogistix was a key element of Anacomp's strategy to extend its leading docHarbor software-as-a-service platform into a new high growth segment with a truly unique offering.
Said Dratler, "We believe the legal market is asking for a new paradigm and the powerful combination of Anacomp and CaseLogistix will deliver that by providing the industry's most comprehensive litigation management platform. Not only will we offer a broad range of services, support and Unicode- compliant on-premise and hosted software but, we'll do that with the same high-level of quality and security from our certified data centers in the US and Europe. With this combination, multi-national law firms and corporate legal departments now have access to a single vendor that can meet their most stringent requirements across the full spectrum of litigation support services and software."
Anacomp provides document and business process management solutions, hosting billions of documents and meeting the most stringent security and availability requirements for thousands of enterprises around the world. The addition of CaseLogistix, combined with Anacomp's docHarbor® enterprise capture solutions, business process management services and secure, high-speed scanning and conversion centers located across the U.S. and Europe, will provide law firms and corporate legal departments with one-stop access to the broadest evidence and litigation management solutions in the industry.
"We are very pleased to join the Anacomp family to offer law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies litigation support software and services that will completely change the marketplace in terms of quality of service. This full-featured, flexible, and dynamic offering is wrapped into a pricing structure that will yield significant cost savings for our customers," said Roe Frazer, former CEO of CaseLogistix and now SVP of Anacomp's CaseLogistix litigation support services. "Based on initial market feedback and comments from CaseLogistix clients, this acquisition will not only strengthen our position as a trusted provider of litigation technology and hosted applications, but broaden our offering to a true one-stop provider of beginning-to-end litigation support services."
"The recent acquisition of CaseLogistix by Anacomp will have a positive impact in the market for higher-end e-discovery and hosting services," said Jeff Isenberg, Global Director of Litigation Technology of White & Case.

Anacomp and CaseLogistix will provide a truly comprehensive litigation platform eliminating the need to outsource subsets of the critical litigation process. Knowing that you can rely on a single source for all your litigation needs is invaluable, and to my knowledge is unavailable to date," said Michael Tracy, Partner of DLA Piper.
"This combination is bound to cause a major shift in what law firms and corporate legal can expect from a truly complete, end-to-end solution provider, adding obvious efficiencies in the current, complex litigation environment," said Jeffrey Reeves, Partner of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher® LLP.
