eDiscoveryJournal Founders Officially Launch New Market Research Firm -- eDJ Group, Inc.

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Oct 25, 2011) - The founders of eDiscoveryJournal (eDJ), a leading source of independent and unbiased perspectives on eDiscovery news, trends and best practices, today announced the launch of eDJ Group, Inc. The official formation of the legal industry's newest market research and consulting firm integrates and showcases the demand for the services eDJ has been providing to its legal, IT and service provider clients since opening in 2009.

"eDJ Group's ability to cover competitive market dynamics, best practices and trends -- not only at the strategic level, but also at a very granular level -- sets us apart from other firms," said Barry Murphy, principal analyst and co-founder of the eDJ Group. "Our unique combination of market research, hands-on eDiscovery experience and IT acumen has established us as the market research leaders covering information governance and eDiscovery requirements."

eDJ was co-founded in 2009 by Barry Murphy -- who, while at Forrester Research, was one of the first analysts in the industry to cover the eDiscovery market -- and Greg Buckles, one of the industry's leading eDiscovery experts with more than 20 years' experience working in consulting and leadership roles for legal service providers, corporate legal departments, law firms and IT/software development. Last May, eDJ added Jason Velasco as CEO to drive the rapid expansion of the firm's research products, content and services.

"The expansion and growth of eDJ Group's consulting and analyst services are being driven by the strong demand we're seeing in the market today," said Buckles. "Organizations -- from the smallest law firm to the corporate clients -- are coming to us for guidance and support because of our unique expertise."

According to Velasco, a long-term member of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and Sedona Conference, the official launch of the company as a market research firm represents the first step in the group's expansion effort. eDiscoveryJournal will operate under the eDJ Group umbrella, and new products are expected to be rolled out over the next few months, including the relaunch of the eDJ Tech Matrix and the new eDJ TV, an interactive forum, which will provide access to eDJ's analysts in real time. Other current services offered by the eDJ group include:

• Analyst Services, which provide unbiased information and pragmatic advice for eDiscovery solution providers and practicing professionals. Services range from Analyst Inquiry Access and Custom Survey Work, Speaking Engagements, Strategy Sessions, to Competitive Analysis, and Performance and Validation Testing/Analysis.
  
  
• Strategic Consulting Services, which provide eDiscovery professionals with a full suite of consulting services, ranging from conducting research to find the right technology solution, Discovery Metrics and ROI Reporting, and 30(b)(6) Witness Support to conducting an eDiscovery Bootcamp session.
  

To make it easier for current and future clients to understand the full breadth of consulting and analyst services now offered by the eDJ Group, the firm has formed a new website, which can be found at www.edjgroupinc.com. Readers will still be able to visit www.ediscoveryjournal.com for the latest eDiscovery news and eDJ blog posts.
