CaseCentral Sees Strong Customer and eDiscovery Market Momentum in 2009

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 21, 2009) - CaseCentral, the leader in secure, on-demand eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms looking to simplify and take control of eDiscovery, today announced a number of milestones and facts that are driving the company's growth in 2009 and show the evolution and acceleration of the eDiscovery market.

eDiscovery Market Momentum

CaseCentral is witnessing the resurgence of eDiscovery market momentum due to the growing preference, amongst large and small clients alike, for a strategic partner who can provide proven products and innovative solutions that improve eDiscovery processes and reduce the time, cost and risk of the analysis, review and production of electronically stored information (ESI), the most expensive phases of eDiscovery.

In June of 2009, CaseCentral announced and launched the industry's first integrated eDiscovery platform enabling clients to begin with Early Case Assessment (ECA) and extend their process through analysis, review, production and post-production re-use on the same platform, meaning that no export of data to other tools is required. This approach facilitates collaborative assessments of new case merits and liabilities, application of first pass review and real-time transfer to active review if required, all at a price point that shatters the current ECA pricing model. This has received enthusiastic market response as both corporations and law firms are awakening to the need to take control of the eDiscovery process and data through the use of an integrated eDiscovery platform that provides repeatability, measurability and defensibility, while at the same time minimizing the number of eDiscovery tools in use to drive down risk and cost.

Another leading indicator of eDiscovery market momentum is the number of Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposal (RFPs) that the company has participated in to date in 2009. Compared to 2008, CaseCentral has participated in 3 times the number of strategic RFIs and RFPs in 2009. While many eDiscovery opportunities are tactical, case-driven opportunities, an increasing number of corporations and law firms are taking a more strategic approach to identifying and choosing a standard eDiscovery platform.

Installed Base Growth

CaseCentral has recorded significant growth in its installed base of both corporate clients and law firm clients as customer confidence has been boosted by CaseCentral's investments in initiatives to meet customer demand and accelerate innovation. Some of those initiatives include: the delivery of the first multi-matter eDiscovery platform, the introduction of the eDiscovery industry's first disaster recovery and business continuity planning protocols, ECA pricing starting at $10/GB/month, the release of the first eDiscovery process analytics and dashboard and the use of private cloud computing as an application delivery method. In the first half of 2009, over 2,700 new matters were added by existing clients and over 30 new law firms came on-board in support of existing client matters.

New Customer Wins

The Boeing Company, the world's premier aerospace and defense corporation, joins an expanding roster of customers that have selected and standardized on the CaseCentral integrated eDiscovery platform to help them take control of their eDiscovery. In addition to Boeing, more than 7 new law firms, including both AmLaw 200 firms and regional firms, have selected CaseCentral's integrated eDiscovery platform. CaseCentral has served approximately thirty-three percent of the Fortune 100 and approximately ninety percent of the AmLaw 100.

"CaseCentral's business continues to make big strides in 2009. Our commitment to consistently deliver more innovation, more value and greater choice to our customers is paying off and we continue to gain market share and outperform the market," said Tom Thimot, Chief Executive Officer, CaseCentral. "The eDiscovery landscape is evolving as companies and law firms seek to standardize on an integrated product to expedite the eDiscovery process and reduce costs. CaseCentral is leading the way."
