Anacomp Named a Top Provider in Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey

SAN DIEGO, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anacomp(R) Inc., a leading business process solutions company, today announced that it has been named a top electronic discovery service provider in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey, a prestigious, annual ranking of the leading solutions providers in the litigation support market. The inclusion of Anacomp and its CaseLogistix(R) litigation support software, which enables legal teams to quickly organize, review and produce digital evidence, indicates the success, satisfaction and reputation the company and solution have garnered with law firm and corporate client users. The rankings will appear in the August issue of Law Technology News.

Initiated in 2003, the Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey examines the size, scope and growth of the electronic discovery market. For the report, the two analyst firms involved in its publishing, Socha Consulting and Gelbmann & Associates, gathered information through direct and confidential interviews from more than 150 vendors, law firms and corporations about the services and solutions they use and prefer; both overall and by stage of the discovery process using the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM; http://www.edrm.net) framework. The firms evaluated over 350 qualitative and quantitative factors and segmented information by seven top-level categories -- experience, capacity, types of services, software usage, law firm rankings, corporate rankings, and revenue -- to create three separate reports; one for law firms, one for corporations, and one for services and software providers.

"We feel that the providers included in this year's survey represent the best of the best, an elite group singled out from a field of well over 600 organizations that offer some form of electronic discovery services or software. These providers truly stand out among their law firm and corporate customers for the scope, quality, and depth of their offerings," said George J. Socha, Jr., Principal of Socha Consulting LLC. "Among the many criteria we considered, providers must have a broad offering, receive positive mention from respondents, and generate significant revenue from their electronic discovery solutions."

"Our ranking in this prominent survey reflects CaseLogistix's success at understanding and surpassing the needs of our clients, who require a more flexible and dynamic approach to electronic discovery," said John Turner, Chief Technology Officer at Anacomp. "As we continue to expand the capabilities of our electronic discovery solutions, we will remain focused on delivering innovations that remove complexity, cost, and risk from discovery and review processes."

Last year's 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey reported that the market for electronic discovery solutions grew 29 percent from 2007 to 2008. More information about the 2008 report can be found at http://www.sochaconsulting.com/2008survey.php

CaseLogistix allows legal teams to quickly review and produce any amount of digital evidence using an interface similar to that of Microsoft(R) Outlook(R). The system is fully Unicode compliant and is able to recognize all foreign language character sets. Such capabilities offer strong differentiation over other litigation support solutions on the market and are highly desirable among larger, multi-national law firms and general counsel departments. Finally, CaseLogistix has been designed for native file review, empowering users to view over 150 file types without the need of third party file conversions or applications. By utilizing native file review processing, users can cut processing fees in half by eliminating the need to TIFF documents on the front end of the discovery process and produce associated text files.
