NEW YORK, May 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Epiq Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:EPIQ), a leading provider of managed technology for the global legal profession, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner, Inc. in their "Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery Software.'' The report positions software vendors according to their ability to execute and their completeness of vision.
"Epiq continues to be a leader in the electronic discovery market as a result of our outstanding service record, innovative technology offerings, and expertise in attorney review and project management," said Chris Olofson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Epiq Systems.
Epiq is a true end-to-end global provider of electronic discovery services with facilities in the United States, London and Hong Kong. Services provided include:
- Discovery Consulting
- Forensic Analysis and Testimony
- Data Analytics and Processing
- Prioritization of data based on relevancy (aka Predictive Coding)
- Hosted Review
- Managed Review
- Comprehensive Production Services
- Litigation and Corporate Repository Services
Epiq is the only electronic discovery provider that offers all services in both proprietary and third-party solutions to meet the varying needs of law firms and corporations.
Epiq specifically focuses in the following areas:
- Our predictive coding and document prioritization technology, IQ Review™, reduces the amount of data legal teams must review and produce to only relevant items, potentially reducing the cost of e-discovery, the most expensive part of the e-discovery process.
- Our project managers are tenured employees on three levels and bring deep and wide expertise to every project,
"The e-discovery software market is entering a phase of high growth, increasing maturity and inevitable consolidation," the report states. Epiq's solution offerings expanded on April 4, 2011 when it acquired Encore Discovery Solutions. Epiq now offers clients a full range of technology choices to match the needs of a particular matter, investigation, compliance initiative or litigation.
"The Encore acquisition further enhances our leading position by expanding the range of options we can offer our customers when they are considering their e-discovery needs," said Olofson.
