As organizations continue to rely on electronic data, ediscovery technology and services will play a central role in helping them manage their legal and compliance obligations. Robust ediscovery technology, supported by expertise and services, helps organizations respond to litigation, compliance and investigation demands. In a new era of remote work at scale, organizations need to securely manage information, protect confidential and privileged access and collaborate effectively to adhere to the increasingly complex demands of security and data privacy frameworks.
“Nextpoint’s early innovations in cloud-based ediscovery deliver a highly-secured software as a service, engineered from the ground up, that provides legal teams with remote access to their data,” said Rakesh Madhava, founder and CEO of Nextpoint.
“As legal teams are increasingly challenged to get control of data in our evolving digital world, Nextpoint continues to evolve our products and services to respond to modern ediscovery burdens, from how to handle growing data volumes, to new forms of electronic information, to addressing evolving data privacy regulatory demands. Our new partnership with EDRM gives us the exciting opportunity to connect with legal technology professionals interested in staying up to date on the latest ediscovery solutions, using our foundation of software, services and educational resources.”
