E-Discovery and Investigative Suite Automates Collection, Analysis and Review, Delivering Significant Cost-Savings to Enterprises and Government Agencies
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and LINDON, Utah, June 4 -- Clearwell Systems, Inc., and AccessData Corporation, a pioneer in the digital forensic industry, today announced a strategic partnership to streamline legal e-discovery and corporate investigations. The E-Discovery and Investigative Suite(TM), which includes AccessData's forensic suite and the Clearwell Intelligence Platform®, provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for the collection, analysis and review of electronic evidence. The joint solution enables enterprises and government agencies to reduce processing and review costs by up to 80 percent, and solve investigations up to 85 percent faster.
"The challenges posed by the increasing volume of electronic information are amplified by significant growth in litigation and corporate investigations," said Kent Millington, president and CEO of AccessData. "By partnering with Clearwell, we are responding to our customers' needs by providing market leading analysis and review capabilities along with AccessData's industry leading computer forensic and password recovery solutions. The E-Discovery and Investigative Suite is a combined, proven solution that will deliver an immediate return on investment to our customers both today and in the future."
AccessData's digital forensics suite automates the important first step of forensically collecting large volumes of evidence. Once the evidence is collected, the Clearwell Intelligence Platform rapidly culls down the data to only the most relevant data by automatically eliminating duplicates, eliminating unrelated messages, removing false positives and identifying privileged data. Clearwell's Discussion Threads dynamically link all related messages together, enabling legal and forensics teams to quickly answer the most important question in any case or investigation: who knew what and when. The net result is that enterprises can dramatically reduce e-discovery costs, and solve more cases with existing resources.
"Electronic evidence plays a critical role in today's legal and forensics landscape, as the volume of electronic data continues to increase exponentially," said Aaref Hilaly, president and CEO of Clearwell Systems. "Quick and timely collection of all evidence is a critical first step in any case or investigation, making a partnership with the industry's leader in digital forensics a perfect fit for our solution. By deploying the E-Discovery and Investigative Suite, our customers will realize huge cost savings while making the lives of their investigators and legal teams incredibly simple."
