Managed Document Review Now Available From SPi

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - February 1, 2008) - SPi, a global leader in Business Process Outsourcing and a leading provider of electronic discovery and document coding services to the legal market, today announced its new document review offering, "SPi Managed Review." With it, SPi can now offer its litigation support, mergers & acquisition and regulatory compliance clients complete end-to-end discovery and document review services for a simple, per-document price.

In creating SPi Managed Review, the company has leveraged its multi-country delivery platform and legal expertise to provide an outsourced document review service that is effective, reliable, fast and accurate. SPi provides day-to-day management of a combination of U.S. and Philippine-based attorneys, while the client's legal team supervises, directs and trains the reviewers on substantive legal issues. The entire team works alongside the SPi consultants engaged in the other aspects of the data reduction strategy -- including data collection, culling, and the searching and data analytics process -- ensuring that the entire pool of knowledge about the data set under review is continuously developed, maintained and shared with the client's legal team. Each project is validated through a multi-step Quality Assurance and Quality Control process to ensure an accurate review.

Combining document review services with SPi's electronic discovery offerings allows SPi's clients to rely on the company for all phases of the discovery process: collection, processing, hosting, production and now review. The supervising legal team can focus on substantive legal issues while SPi's U.S.-based Project Managers -- all with law degrees -- manage the people, the overhead and quality control.

"We are excited to offer our clients 'SPi Managed Review,'" said Charley Otto, SPi's Vice President, Sales. "Litigators want predictability and control, and we can provide it by offering a single source for high-quality processing and review. And our expertise and years of experience with both discovery and BPO gives us enough insight to offer per document pricing." With a single, per-document price, SPi's clients can expect to reduce their overall e-discovery costs while increasing cost predictability.
