Espion partners with Clearwell Systems to streamline eDiscovery process

Best in class technology delivers lower costs and reduced risk

Dublin, Ireland, November 15, 2010 - Espion, the leading provider of e-discovery and digital investigative services to law firms, corporations and regulatory organisations, announced the addition of the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform to its offerings, to help clients reduce the cost and complexity of the e-discovery process.

“The importance of e-discovery to a case or investigation continues to grow - with significant impact on time and costs involved.” said Colm Murphy, technical director of Espion. “Clearwell delivers the speed and functionality needed for the most challenging of scenarios, allowing for earlier assessment of case facts, elimination of irrelevant data and significant reductions in processing and review costs.”

The recent changes to the rules of the Superior Courts (Discovery) 2009 (""2009 Rules”) now obliges Irish organisations to make available both paper and Electronically Stored Information (ESI) during the process of discovery.  To handle this need, Espion clients can now use Clearwell on a hosted basis and avail themselves of a solution that enables organisations to streamline their entire e-discovery process from identification through production in a single product.

The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform is an enterprise-class solution purpose-built for e-discovery, which manages all legal matters, regulatory inquiries, and corporate investigations in a single product. Leading organisations are using Clearwell to process, analyse, review, and produce ESI and streamline the e-discovery lifecycle. As a result, they are able to accelerate early case assessments and non-linear review, intelligently cull-down data, substantially lower their e-discovery costs, and improve the defensibility of their electronic discovery process.

The Espion Information and Security 101 Session on December 1st 2010 will focus on the issue of e-discovery and how technologies can be deployed to address the most stringent challenges. For more information and to register for the event visit www.espion.ie.
