Provides Clients Access to Flexible and Scalable Early Case
Assessment and Review Capabilities
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 24, 2012--
Pitney
Bowes Legal Solutions (PBLS), a leading provider of document
management, eDiscovery
and litigation
support services and division of Pitney
Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), today announced several significant
enhancements to its eDiscovery and litigation services portfolio for law
firms and corporate counsel. PBLS has added industry-leading early case
assessment (ECA) and hosted review software and managed review services
to its comprehensive eDiscovery offering, as well as made significant
additional investments in its national data center and service delivery
teams.
PBLS has added IPRO Allegro, an early case assessment tool that
provides insight into the size, scope, and composition of data
collections before the start of eDiscovery processing and review, to its
offering. IPRO Allegro enables interactive, real time culling of
the case data using search terms and metadata filters, which can
significantly reduce the volume of relevant documents for review and
save processing time by up to 95%.
In addition, PBLS has partnered with kCura to provide customers access
to Relativity, a feature-rich online review platform that offers
flexibility and scalability for managing complex analysis, review, and
production projects.
Both Allegro and Relativity are supported by PBLS’
national data processing center in Grand Rapids, Mich., where terabytes
of data and millions of pages of documents are processed and managed
annually.
“These technology partnerships complement our already-powerful portfolio
of leading legal discovery solutions and provide significant additional
value to our clients,” said Stephen Whetstone, Leader of Pitney Bowes
Legal Solutions. “Rather than use the same hammer for every legal
discovery project, Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions is determined to use the
right tool at the right price at the right location for each unique job.
When it comes to eDiscovery one size does not
fit all.”
As part of PBLS’ ongoing effort to deliver the best service and value
possible, the company has engaged the Association of Certified
E-Discovery Specialists, an independent training and verification
organization, to deliver continued education and certification for its
project managers, business development representatives and staff. To
date, key members of the PBLS team have completed the
internationally-recognized ACEDS certified training and testing program,
with more staff members enrolled to complete the program in 2012.
Rounding out its full range of eDiscovery services, PBLS has enhanced
its managed review capabilities via an alliance with Grand Rapids-based
RCA Business Solutions to deliver flexible and scalable managed review
for projects of all sizes, both on-site and off-site. This provides our
clients on-demand access to a highly trained review staff, which
includes former judges, in-house counsel, trial attorneys, law firm
partners, patent attorneys, and other licensed U.S. attorneys, to
provide managed review of large volumes of electronically stored
information and paper records in litigation.
Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions is a leading provider of document
management, eDiscovery and litigation support services designed to help
law firms, corporate legal departments and government agencies operate
more efficiently and effectively. A division of Pitney Bowes Management
Services, Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions designs and builds innovative,
