Managed ESI Services Enable Companies to Gain Control of and Lower the Rising Costs and Risks of e-Discovery
April 9, 2011 – Austin, Texas - Flex Discovery, a leading provider of managed e-discovery and attorney review services today announced the availability of its new Managed ESI Services. The innovative service offering provides a better model for managing e-discovery and enables organizations of all sizes to lower the cost and risk of e-discovery.
Flex Discovery’s Managed ESI Services provides organizations with the ability to utilize one provider to manage and support the entire end-to-end e-discovery workflow, from identification and collection to review and production. The service is designed to deliver the value and benefits of in-house e-discovery while avoiding the obstacles, plus gives the flexibility of outsourcing.
The services are offered on a subscription basis with predefined service levels, giving clients the ability to better plan budget needs and to know exactly what level of services to expect. There are also no up-front software costs, no ongoing maintenance fees, and no need to purchase the networking, storage and security infrastructure. In addition, there is no time and cost associated with hiring specialized, full-time employees, as Flex Discovery provides experienced e-discovery personnel on-demand as litigation volume fluctuates.
As part of the Managed ESI Services, Flex Discovery works with clients to design and deploy an efficient, repeatable and defensible e-discovery workflow. Transferring the management of e-discovery to the Flex Discovery team enables clients to reduce the risk to their organization, plus provides a single point of contact for cost-effective management of the entire e-discovery process rather than dealing with multiple suppliers. The service also enables clients to access and leverage data, standards, documents and work product from prior matters to reduce future collections, eliminate replicate review and minimize inadvertent productions.
“There are many companies with small litigation support teams, limited technology and large caseloads that receive significant bills from e-discovery service providers,” said Bill Rioux, president of Flex Discovery. “This situation has driven many of these organizations to implement initiatives to lower e-discovery costs without expanding their teams or adding infrastructure to support e-discovery in-house. The innovative approach of our Managed ESI Services enables these companies to significantly lower the costs associated with e-discovery, as well as mitigate the inherent risks.”
