Navigant Consulting And Stratify Formalize Strategic Partnership to Provide Integrated eDiscovery Solutions
Creates End-to-End eDiscovery Solution for Law Firms and Legal Departments
Chicago, IL and Mountain View, CA (Jun. 25, 2008) – Navigant Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: NCI), a global consulting firm providing dispute, investigative, operational, risk management and financial advisory solutions, and Stratify, an Iron Mountain Company and leading eDiscovery service provider, announced today that they have formalized a strategic partnership to provide law firms and legal departments with an end-to-end eDiscovery solution for early case assessment and high-productivity review.
Over the past several years, Navigant Consulting and Stratify have successfully partnered on numerous complex eDiscovery projects involving identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis and production overseen by shared project management on eDiscovery matters. Navigant’s litigation project management expertise combined with Stratify’s dynamic eDiscovery solution will offer major corporations and their legal counsel powerful and cost efficient capabilities for fast and accurate document reviews in response to regulatory investigations and litigation. Navigant will also integrate its SharePoint Project and Preservation software with Stratify’s eDiscovery review environment, giving clients better transparency into the status of projects.
“We couldn’t be more pleased about our strategic partnership with Stratify because it will provide companies with dynamic and unparalleled options to solving their most complex eDiscovery issues,” said Richard Finkelman Managing Director and leader of Navigant Consulting’s Discovery Services Practice. “The end-to-end solution that Navigant and Stratify can offer clients will simplify eDiscovery on complex matters and enable clients to meet their most confidential and time sensitive needs.”
Technological advances, increased complexity and revised federal rules are driving consolidation in the eDiscovery marketplace and the emergence of new business models. Business models that offer the greatest flexibility provide the most benefit to clients – allowing them to select project management or technology services alone, or to choose a fully integrated solution from leaders in the respective space. This hybrid approach will enable Stratify and Navigant to adapt quickly to the dynamic nature and demands their clients face in eDiscovery matters.
The Stratify Legal Discovery® service provides one of the most comprehensive, easy-to-use and reliable eDiscovery solutions for early case assessment and efficient review. Advanced document processing capabilities accelerate the document review process, by eliminating most of the expensive and inaccurate document coding and segregation that commonly occurs during document review. As part of the alliance, Navigant Project Managers will receive training alongside Stratify’s worldwide services team that will enable them to help clients use the Stratify Legal Discovery service to drive high-productivity reviews.
“Based on numerous and positive feedback from our shared clients on over 40 projects, we believe the eDiscovery market will embrace this truly unique business approach,” said Ramana Venkata, Senior Vice President at Iron Mountain, and Stratify’s General Manager. “Our clients appreciate the easy-to-use, sophisticated and cost-saving capabilities of the Stratify Legal Discovery service combined with Navigant’s advanced project management expertise. We look forward to continuing our strong working relationship with Navigant and providing clients a truly flexible, cost effective solution to their eDiscovery needs.”
