Recently, UBIC has begun to obtain new contracts for large-scale review projects in the East Coast region of the United States. In order to meet the needs of these new customers, it has established a new review center. The new review center is located in Washington, D.C. where U.S. federal government agencies are concentrated. This location will better position UBIC to handle large-scale review projects for customers in the region, including cartel investigation cases and second request cases.
UBIC's Washington D.C. review center ensures high quality and high efficiency. It achieves substantial cost reduction by utilizing the Company's proprietary, artificial intelligence-based Predictive Coding technology.
