WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the Company’s Technology segment has expanded its e-discovery managed services offering to include the
Relativity platform, enabling corporations and law firms to extend their e-discovery software and teams in a seamless and
cost-effective manner. For individual matters, or complete multi-year portfolio management, FTI Technology’s flexible managed
services enable legal teams to quickly start new cases and focus on strategy, leaving the Relativity software deployment, support
and services to FTI Technology’s e-discovery experts.
“For years, organizations of all sizes have struggled with operationalizing e-discovery to be as efficient and cost-effective as
possible,” said Wendy King, a Senior Managing Director in the Technology segment at FTI Consulting. “This
expanded e-discovery managed services offering answers this need for Relativity users. Whether the client wants to conduct
discovery on its own, but not manage the software licenses and infrastructure, or prefers to fully outsource the entire e-discovery
function, we have flexible options that provide greater control and budget predictability.”
Each organization has its own unique litigation portfolio, and many have outlier matters that are either larger or more complex
than a typical case. FTI Technology’s managed services enable organizations to select the model that best fits their cases, but
with easy “burst” capacity for matters that may require a different approach or additional services, such as multilingual managed
review. Three flexible options include:
- Self-service: A private and secure Relativity environment, including seamless upgrades, for organizations that want to
outsource the technology but manage the e-discovery process;
- Managed Service Agreement: The same, secure Relativity environment, but with FTI Technology’s expert e-discovery team
managing the workflow and process from processing to production; and
- Full-service: FTI Technology’s expert team is an extension of the organization’s legal team, providing the people, process
and technology to cost-effectively manage discovery.
Predictable Pricing
FTI Technology’s managed services include flexible terms and expandable environments, designed for greater budget transparency and
predictability. Clients can select from multiple pricing tiers depending upon their deployment options, number of users and data
volumes.
Innovative App Store
To meet specific needs on particular matters, FTI Technology has created an “app store” allowing clients to select and seamlessly
use a large and growing list of add-on functionality designed by FTI Technology and its partners. This includes a chat module, for
matters involving instant messaging communications that need to be reviewed, to globally consistent templates and native Excel
redaction from Blackout.
In addition, FTI Technology clients have access to onboarding and training, expert e-discovery teams and workflow for any matter,
as well as global support leveraging FTI Technology’s Relativity offering in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and
Asia. The expanded Relativity managed services complement the Ringtail managed services offering currently provided by FTI Technology.
“FTI Technology’s size, global breadth and expert professionals enable us to offer a range of managed services to meet any
organization’s e-discovery needs,” said Daryl Teshima, a Senior Managing Director in the Technology segment at FTI Consulting. “For
companies and law firms that have struggled with budget predictability, infrastructure support, procurement, finding the best
e-discovery professionals or scaling to meet big or complex matters, this managed services offering is the ideal solution.”
