FTI Consulting and Exterro Announce E-Discovery Partnership
Strategic partnership enables clients to more effectively meet their dynamic legal and regulatory challenges by orchestrating e-discovery.
“At Exterro, we are thrilled to welcome FTI Technology into our orchestrated e-discovery ecosystem. We share a common vision of helping organizations better govern, secure, find, analyze, and rapidly make sense of information,” said Bobby Balachandran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterro.
“The combination of Exterro software technology and FTI Technology’s expertise will enable our joint clients to reduce legal and IT costs, protect sensitive materials, quickly find facts, and harness organizational data to create business value.”
The Exterro partnership with FTI Technology provides expert consulting and services for Exterro Orchestrated E-Discovery Suite clients, including:
- Delivery of a fully managed e-discovery service, including legal review
- Collection and processing of data from more than 30 data sources, including Office 365
- Software implementation and process optimization
- E-discovery workflow optimization, including legal holds and early case assessment
- Inventory of legal holds and migration of legacy cases
- Data migration and remediation
“We are excited to help Exterro clients better operationalize and streamline their e-discovery processes through this partnership,” said Jake Frazier, Leader of the Information Governance, Privacy & Security practice at FTI Consulting.
“Together with our experts, we can help organizations more effectively respond to their legal, regulatory, and investigative matters, both within the e-discovery process and in the broader context of information governance and compliance.”
Users of the Exterro Orchestrated E-Discovery Suite can implement and manage a more streamlined e-discovery process. In many organizations, multiple stakeholders—including in-house legal and IT teams, service providers, and outside counsel—use different tools that require numerous manual handoffs with limited visibility into task status.
The Exterro Orchestrated E-Discovery Suite improves communication, collaboration, and visibility across the entire process through workflow orchestration, management dashboards, and reporting capabilities. This enables organizations to respond more effectively to e-discovery requirements.
The combined solution from Exterro and FTI Technology delivers the software, processes, services, and personnel required to simplify e-discovery and quickly uncover the facts of a case. Clients can also leverage FTI Technology’s expert services to manage specific steps or even the entire e-discovery process as a fully managed service.
FTI Technology is widely recognized as a leading provider of e-discovery consulting and services across the entire discovery lifecycle. From legal holds and global data collections to legal review and production, FTI Technology consultants assist organizations in developing policies, deploying technology, and executing programs as managed services.
The company has extensive experience managing data requirements in highly regulated industries and leading discovery efforts for various legal matters, including:
- Hart-Scott-Rodino second requests
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) matters
- Internal investigations
FTI Technology also provides clients with a variety of technology and service options tailored to their specific needs. The Exterro Orchestrated E-Discovery Suite supports other technologies offered by FTI Technology, including Ringtail, Relativity, and Microsoft Office 365 Advanced eDiscovery.
