Kiersted / Systems to Unveil New Approaches to Electronic Discovery

New solutions and services help law firms and corporations reduce technical burden

(January 20, 2010 -- Houston, TX)  Kiersted / Systems, a seasoned leader in electronic discovery and legal technology consulting, has announced that it will exhibit an expanded portfolio of services geared to reducing the burden of electronic discovery during the LegalTech New York event on February 1st through 3rd.

According to George Kiersted, President, “We are excited to offer several new and enhanced services and solutions to law firms and corporate legal departments that are facing the ongoing challenges of electronic discovery. We offer a multi-faceted approach that is flexible and smart.”

Chris Dodd, Kiersted’s Vice President of Operations, says, “Our clients maintain control of their electronic discovery projects with our K4 Rapid Review tool that also saves time and money. We understand the constraints e-Discovery teams face in processing tremendous volume of data.”

Dodd adds, “Kiersted’s Dynamic Case Assessment solution provides optimum flexibility along with seamless integration into the review and culling process. Now clients can apply the principles of early case assessment throughout the electronic discovery process and adjust strategy when new factors come to light. In addition, our unique approach to legal hold brings visibility, control, and consistency to clients who are eager to avoid risks, sanctions and fines with a repeatable, defensible legal hold strategy.”

Another innovation that Kiersted will unveil at LegalTech is a solution for companies using Microsoft SharePoint®. In electronic discovery, such material presents special challenges, and Kiersted has enhanced its proprietary KEPS e-Discovery platform to properly and thoroughly process SharePoint content of all types including blogs, wikis, and lists, as well as Microsoft Office® documents - even those with multiple versions. Dodd explains, “Critically, SharePoint content is displayed just as it looks within the native environment, with all metadata and context preserved. Indeed, reviewers using our RapidReview have the ability to launch and view an item within an actual instance of SharePoint for unlimited flexibility and control!”

The theme of Kiersted’s exhibit at LegalTech will echo the company’s smart approach to e-Discovery. In addition to learning more about Kiersted’s portfolio of services, attendees who visit Booth #2113 can enter to win a 2010 Smart Car. Complete rules are available at www.Kiersted.com.

George Kiersted adds, “We look forward to a fun and fascinating experience at LegalTech, the most important legal technology event of the year. We are eager to share our approach about managing electronic discovery the smart way.”
