The E-Discovery Hostess with the Mostest
By Dennis Kennedy
Lawyers beginning to delve into the world of electronic discovery often express surprise at how even simple cases can involve large amounts of electronic data. "Help" is usually the first word that comes to mind.
LexisNexis Concordance's Hosted FYI aims to provide that help by combining "state-of-the-art" data hosting and security with e-discovery tools built on the familiar Concordance platform — priced a la carte based on your needs.
With Hosted FYI, you and your team can review, process, store, retrieve, redact, and share documents in a secure, centralized, and always-accessible environment. Rather than task your IT staff with daunting security and management requirements, Hosted FYI enables you to take advantage of the capacity, experience, security, and staffing of LexisNexis. As a result, you reduce your internal staffing and infrastructure costs, keep important data in an environment equipped for disaster recovery, and free your firm to focus on winning cases, not worrying about IT and security issues.
You can also take advantage of Hosted FYI's project support teams, including project managers and technical support representatives. These litigation support professionals can help ensure the integrity of your discovery data and, most importantly, track chain of custody. Thanks to this neutral stewardship, opposing counsel will likely consider using Hosted FYI as well, streamlining the discovery process. Even better, you can move cases midstream into Hosted FYI that you're currently handling internally or with other vendors.
Hosted FYI uses the well-known Concordance platform, a litigation environment familiar to many law firms and one used for many of today's biggest cases. Law firms that already use Concordance can easily move to the Hosted FYI environment seamlessly and without retraining their litigation support staff. You can quickly review and redact information, search, organize, and annotate email and other documents in their native file format (including metadata). The Web-hosted approach enables lawyers, paralegals and others to work simultaneously whether in the office, home, hotel room, etc. with access to only what they need to see.
Hosted FYI also provides you with financial controls. You can avoid building out infrastructure or hiring additional staff. Instead, Hosted FYI's a la carte pricing options means that you pay for only the services you need. The billing is also simple as you receive a single bill for what you use.
