e-Discovery

Many corporate legal departments are bringing electronic discovery in-house to better control the discovery process and reduce costs.  With the Bridgeway e-discovery solution, you gain the benefits of being in control of your time and costs, the inherent knowledge of the case data, 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.

Key Benefits

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 and 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. 

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

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 analyses 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. 

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 together to work for you. Gone are the days of buying point solutions for their strengths and living with the problems of integrating them.

Scalable To Your Organization

The Bridgeway eDiscovery suite can scale as you scale. Many organizations start with Bridgeway Legal Hold to obtain an easy-to-use, easy-to-implement solution for their preservation needs. From there, it is easy to add on the collection, 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 of how you buy and operate your e-discovery solution.
