2008 Socha-Gelbmann Survey Shines Light on Company’s

Experience and Depth of Solution

BELLEVUE, Wash.–(EMWNews)–LexisNexis® Applied Discovery®,

a leader in comprehensive electronic discovery products and services,

today announced that its award-winning e-discovery platform, used by

corporations and law firms nationwide to review data for complex

discovery matters, was ranked in the top five in 10 of the 13 service

categories ranked in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann survey. This is the fourth

consecutive year that Applied Discovery has been singled out from a

field of over 600 organizations and recognized as the best of the best.

The Socha-Gelbmann survey gathered more than 350 qualitative and

quantitative measures to rank supplier services and software in a

variety of categories. Interestingly, ‘data

collection, processing and review services’

were rated greatest in demand by corporations, law firms and providers

alike. This need reinforces Applied Discovery’s

recent 10 million dollar hosting center upgrade investment made over the

past 12 months that enables even faster collection, review and

processing.

David A. Weber, Applied Discovery Vice President, Marketing stated the

importance of the company’s top rankings in

this highly regarded industry report, “As an

organization providing a complete end-to-end solution, ranking top five

in so many e-discovery service categories reinforces our ability to

perform at the highest level in a variety of areas, while offering the

broad selection of capabilities clients need.”

The survey revealed that one of the greatest concerns in the industry is

dealing with inexperienced providers. Relative to that issue Weber

noted, “Fortunately as an early e-discovery

industry pioneer established in 1998, Applied Discovery has a long

standing record of innovation, success, awards and year-over-year top

service rankings to instill the level of confidence and experience that

clients need.”

The survey also highlighted process control as one of the top three

e-discovery objectives for corporations. Applied Discovery is

well-positioned to address this need with the recently announced

upgrades to its e-discovery platform. These included an even more robust

Online Review Application (ORA) that includes advanced review management

capabilities, offering the tools needed to streamline the review

process. Other advancements included improvements to workflow, batching

and search performance, in addition to the turnaround time and security

improvements gained as a result of the 10 million dollar hosting center

upgrade investment made over the last 12 months.
