e-Discovery

Bridgeway's e-Discovery Solutions and Products

Many corporate legal departments are bringing electronic discovery in-house to better control the discovery process and reduce costs.  With the Bridgeway eDiscovery Solution, you gain the benefits of being in control of your time, your costs, the knowledge inherent in the data of the case and ultimately, control of the case. Bridgeway eDiscovery is the first end-to-end e-discovery solution fully integrated with Matter Management and e-Billing that puts you in control.

You Are In Control

Bridgeway eDiscovery is the only solution designed with a complete set of tools and processes to bring each phase of the discovery process in-house – from case inception to managing Preservation with Bridgeway’s unique Legal Hold application to Collection, Early Case Assessment, Processing, Review and Production.

Bridgeway’s eDiscovery Dashboard brings all of the data together in a central view to give you the key cost and milestone information you need to make ongoing decisions about the case.  It’s powerful, but extremely simple to use, keeping you in control of your e-discovery throughout the entire lifecycle of the case. 

With Bridgeway eDiscovery you can:

Control Costs

Forget unpredictable “per-GB” cost models. With Bridgeway eDiscovery, you can analyze the data including key search terms as many times as is necessary.  With unlimited analysis and production, you have the freedom to analyze again and again as you gain knowledge from previous analysis passes. 

With the eDiscovery Dashboard you have insight into your legal spend in any phase of the discovery process.  No more speculation or estimates about where you are in your budget spend.  Simply pull up the dashboard and take a look in real-time.

In addition, you can view predictive analysis on what you still have to spend to complete the full discovery process.  This view gives you the control you need to make strategic decisions about the case and how to proceed.  With Bridgeway eDiscovery your costs are predictable, controllable and affordable. 

You can conduct document reviews in-house, or outsource review of selected documents via a secure, hosted site.

Best-of-breed Features

Bridgeway eDiscovery is composed of best-of-breed solutions that take the leading features of each phase of the discovery process and puts them to work for you.  Gone are the days of buying point solutions for their strengths and living with their weaknesses.  With the Bridgeway eDiscovery Suite you get all of the good without having to live with the bad.

Scalable To Your Organization

The Bridgeway eDiscovery Suite can scale as you scale. Many organizations start with the Bridgeway Legal Hold Solution to obtain an easy-to-use, easy-to-implement solution for their preservation needs.

From there, it is easy to add on the Analysis and Processing solutions to give you control over your data – both from a cost and knowledge perspective.  Our sneak-peek search capabilities allow you to custom shape your search terms on the fly, without adding hard costs to the project.

The Review and Production solutions are offered either in-house in conjunction with our full end-to-end solution, or as a hosted solution.  You can collaborate with your outside counsel as they handle your review and production needs.  With Bridgeway eDiscovery you are not only in control of your discovery, but also control how you buy and operate your e-discovery solution.

Expand Your Reach

Your Bridgeway eDiscovery Solution is designed to interface with your Bridgeway Matter Management, e-Billing, and Corporate Governance solutions to create a complete Legal Enterprise Management solution.  This linkage leverages all of the data in your Legal Enterprise and puts you in even greater control of your organization.  All on a modular basis that lets you expand your capabilities one step at a time, whenever you’re ready.
