Equivalent DATA Ranked as Top Electronic Discovery Provider in 2008 Socha-Gelbmann EDD Survey

Houston, TX – August 1, 2008

The Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Data Discovery (EDD) Survey, published in this month’s issue of Law Technology News, recognized Equivalent DATA as a top electronic discovery provider based on capacity. The independent, highly respected report profiled 107 electronic data discovery services and software providers, as well as 29 law firms and 19 corporations, incorporating over 350 quantitative and qualitative factors.

“We are extremely excited to be ranked so highly in such a prestigious report,” says Equivalent DATA CEO Dan Lehane. “Our staff’s ability to anticipate our customers’ needs helps to alleviate a lot of time spent by other vendors, which gives us the ability to handle more. This, together with the capacity of our datacenter, The Solution Center, and the scalability of our software, NeedleFinder®, has really set us apart. I believe that in the near future Equivalent DATA will be number one.”

With over 450 terabytes (TB) of data storage capacity and the ability to quickly expand storage capacity if necessary, the Equivalent DATA Solution Center stands ready to handle large projects. With the current processing stations, the lab can process up to 2 TB of data per day. The facility has been built to expand even larger.

“The rate of growth we are experiencing is unprecedented,” explains President Mike Medrano. “Our recent merger with The MedLeh Group was the result of a continual focus on the true customer experience with service capacity, quality, and unequalled knowledge in the industry. The Equivalent DATA that Socha and Gelbmann reviewed for this report has already grown and improved so much, with increased capacity and new services such as software sales and installations, pre-discovery consulting, data collection, and computer forensics. We have high hopes for the 2009 report.”
