BOSTON --(Business Wire)--
Fios Inc., a Socha-Gelbmann top 5 provider of electronic discovery services, and Ajilon (News - Alert) Legal, a worldwide expert in legal staffing and litigation management, today unveiled a partnership to help corporations and law firms effectively inject cost control and predictability into the complex e-discovery process. Announced at the Association of Corporate Counsel's 2009 Annual Meeting in Boston, this partnership blends Fios' leading e-discovery services with Ajilon's document review management expertise to deliver a single, "all-inclusive" solution from processing through production.
Ajilon and Fios will deliver seamless, combined e-discovery services to clients at affordable per gigabyte (GB) pricing that includes:
Best-in-class evidence processing - With the industry's broadest processing capabilities to accurately process ESI (News - Alert), Fios can accommodate virtually any client data volume and turnaround time requirement. The Fios data center identifies over 4,000 file types and can ingest more than 1 terabyte of data per day and fully process more than 500 GB per day.
Advanced review technology - Fios Prevail® provides review teams a rich array of features, from the latest search technologies to strategic categorization and de-duplication tools, to help insure success in litigation and investigation.
Highly qualified document reviewers - Experienced legal review professionals from Ajilon will conduct review projects of any size while utilizing a customized process to ensure deadlines are met and evidence is reviewed in the most efficient manner possible.
Expert litigation and project management services - Ajilon's experienced litigation support leaders and Fios' certified project managers will ensure the highest efficiencies throughout each project, including the management of project timelines, budget constraints, document review progress, reviewer training and production obligations.
Customizable evidence production - Fios provides a complete range of evidence production services, including exports to TIFFs or PDFs, production of native files and hard copy paper, load files for importing into third-party review and case management applications, the ability to track ESI with Bates numbers or other separate tracking numbers and strict quality control protocols
Single point of contact - With the Fios-Ajilon combined service, clients will be provided with a single point of contact for requests, communications, reporting and accountability for processing through production.
"We've heard from countless clients - both law firms and corporations - that they want a single source for managing e-discovery from beginning to end," said Brad Gragert, senior vice president of sales at Fios. "By combining the core Fios and Ajilon competencies and expertise, legal teams now have a single resource for processing, review and production services. Additionally, our combined services will provide legal professionals with improved cost predictability and budget management for e-discovery projects."
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Fios to offer best-in-class legal and e-discovery services to our clients," said Chris Gallagher, senior vice president of Ajilon Legal. "The blended Fios-Ajilon service allows lawyers to focus on case strategy, rather than data and review management. This is critical in today's environment where corporate legal departments face overwhelming data volumes and, at the same time, budget and resource constraints."
