SEATTLE, WA, August 22, 2006 - Results from the nation’s largest and most comprehensive annual survey of the $1.2 billion¹ e-discovery industry found that attorneys rate LexisNexis® Applied Discovery® among the very best e-discovery services.
According to results of the 2006 Socha-Gelbmann E-Discovery Survey, law firms and corporations ranked Applied Discovery as one of the top five2 e-discovery services overall. The results were based on combined scores in the areas of Experience, Capacity, Types of Services, Software Usage, Law Firm Rankings, Corporate Rankings and Revenue. Applied Discovery earned additional top-five2 rankings in the categories of Experience and Law Firm Rankings, and in the specific e-discovery stages of Collection, Processing, Review and Analysis
The survey also reported that U.S. law firms use Applied Discovery more frequently than any other single e-discovery service provider.
"We are extremely pleased that Applied Discovery has registered so positively with the legal community," said Michele Vivona, senior vice president and general manager for LexisNexis Litigation Services. "We believe this speaks to the quality of our offerings and how much law firms can depend on us to deliver the best e-discovery results to help them win."
Additionally, law firms and corporations rated Applied Discovery highly in specific areas important to them. For example, both law firms and corporations rated data collection and processing as the most in-demand e-discovery services. This demand corresponds directly to the top-five ranking of Applied Discovery by firms and corporations for e-discovery process areas of Collection and Processing.
