GGO Introduces ‘Review-Ready’: Fixed-Fee ESI Processing for E-Discovery, Breaking the Industry’s GB-based Pricing Tradition

Creators of the Digital WarRoom End-to-End E-Discovery Platform Challenge Convention, Offer Transparent Pricing on Products and Services

(Seattle, WA) January 27, 2012 – Gallivan, Gallivan and O’Melia (GGO, LLC), the e-discovery experts driving the move toward accessible, affordable e-discovery solutions, announced today a new fixed-fee, rapid response ESI processing service.  The Review-Ready service allows law firms and e-discovery teams to eliminate the budget uncertainty inherent in volume-based pricing, and realize savings of 50% or more over the typical per-GB fees charged by conventional providers.
The Review-Ready process is all-inclusive, from receipt of collected data to delivery of a complete load file in a format ready for immediate loading to any document review platform.  Complete processing includes:

• Inspect: Initial assessment of collected data
• Process: normalize and organize over 500 types of collected file types
• De-NIST: Remove system, OS and other non-data content
• Triage: Resolve challenges posed by encrypted, password protected or corrupt files
• Index: Organizes content for optimal search in the review phase
• Filter: Apply search terms and filters, report results
• Load File: compatible with any e-discovery review application

Review-Ready fixed fee pricing is based on the size of the collection.  A forensically sound collection of 1-10 GB of ESI is processed at a fixed fee of $1000.  A larger collection, ranging from 10 to 100 GB, carries a fixed fee of $2000, or as little as $20 per GB.  A conventional provider charging volume-based fee of $200 per GB would bill $20,000 for the same 100 GB, or ten times the cost of the fixed-fee service provided by GGO.

Processing is handled on the Digital WarRoom platform, a high-performance engine designed and refined by the GGO team over 12 years of e-discovery consulting and hosting for law firm and corporate clients.  “We own the technology, so we can compete effectively at prices lower than most vendors can afford to offer”, said Bill Gallivan, managing director at GGO.  “Beyond providing excellent service, our mission at GGO is to challenge the industry to think differently about value and efficiency in delivery of services.  High quality e-discovery solutions should be accessible, affordable, and easy to use for all legal professionals.”  The new Review-Ready service is available now through all GGO operations centers across North America.

Digital WarRoom Predicts Continuing Growth in Demand for Mainstream e-Discovery Solutions in 2012

(Seattle, WA) January 11, 2012 – Gallivan, Gallivan and O’Melia (GGO, LLC), the e-discovery experts driving the move toward accessible, affordable e-discovery solutions took note of the emerging market for mainstream e-discovery tools, and have reaffirmed their commitment to serving medium and smaller matters with e-discovery software that is user-friendly and cost efficient.

“Our introduction of affordable desktop and multi-user versions of Digital WarRoom in 2011 was met by a wave of interest, and discussion surrounding the ‘Mainstreaming of E-Discovery’ surfaced in the legal field”, said Barry O’Melia, head of product operations at GGO.   “Bruce Olson and Tom O’Connor profiled the e-discovery process for smaller matters at the ABA Tech Show in the spring of 2011 to a full house of solo practitioners, attorneys from small and large firms, and litigation support professionals.  Clearly the topic struck a chord.”

A small or medium-size matter (estimated to account for more than 70% of all matters filed in US Courts) is often defined as having a mix of fairly standard business documents and e-mail, in review volumes of 500GB or less.   In the old traditional e-discovery pricing models, the cost to process, review and produce this volume of ESI could drive total discovery costs to nearly $1 million, in many cases far outpacing the value of the claim.   So e-discovery has been relegated only to the relatively larger matters with high financial stakes.   In 2011, the high cost and lack of transparency in e-discovery pricing emerged as a hot topic in the industry.

Added to the cost pressure, a sea change is happening in the courts.  E-discovery is ‘mainstreaming’ among judges at the same time it’s happening with law firms and service providers.  As organizations such as Sedona Conference and the E-Discovery Institute educate us all, the state courts are adopting e-discovery rules that mandate parties to litigation to understand and competently address the identification, collection, processing and delivery of responsive ESI.

“Digital WarRoom makes mainstreaming a reality, with software that is easy for a beginner to learn and use, but can scale up to accommodate the largest, most complex cases.  Law firms or corporate legal teams can standardize on a single solution for an entire portfolio of matters”, said O’Melia, “and then choose to manage a case in a desktop PC application, on a network server, or host it on our secure SaaS platform.  The application and features are consistent across all versions of the product.”

About Digital WarRoom

The Digital WarRoom e-discovery platform provides law firms, corporate legal and e-discovery teams with complete ESI processing, document review and production in a single application, without traditional high-cost volume-based processing fees.

In 2011, Gallivan Gallivan & O’Melia announced two new products, extending Digital WarRoom technology in configurations for in-house use by corporations and law firms:

• Digital WarRoom Pro, the first PC based product for e-discovery, allowing an individually licensed user to conduct complete e-discovery on a Windows computer, and
• Digital WarRoom WorkGroup, a client-server application that allows corporate IT, in-house legal, or law firm e-discovery practitioners to manage e-discovery case data processing, document review and production without high priced volume-based processing.

Mainstreaming of e-Discovery for Everyday Litigation Matters

E-Discovery experts from Digital WarRoom and Litigation Paralegals LLC to Share Best Practices in ACEDS Web Seminar

Seattle, WA, September 26, 2011 – Gallivan, Gallivan and O’Melia (GGO, LLC), the e-discovery experts driving the move toward accessible, affordable e-discovery solutions today announced the company will lead a webinar discussion on the mainstreaming of e-discovery, sponsored by ACEDS.  Gallivan, Gallivan and O’Melia are creators of the Digital WarRoom platform, the first end-to-end e-discovery software specifically designed to be affordable for cases of any size or type – from the smallest internal investigation to complex, multi-year litigation matters.

Barry O’Melia, founding partner and operations officer at GGO, will join Keith Slyter, owner and principal at Litigation Paralegals, LLC a full service litigation support company in Dallas Texas, to discuss the practical application of EDRM processes when managing an average or smaller scale matter.

“E-Discovery is often described and sold as a complex, mysterious, highly technical process designed to address investigations on the scale of Enron and high-profile litigation cases like Qualcomm v Broadcom.  But these huge high-profile cases are the exception rather than the rule. ” said Barry O’Melia.  “It’s estimated that 85% of e-discovery projects involve less than 30 custodians and 300 GB of data.  Increasingly, there are processes and tools available for the average size matter, allowing corporate legal and law firms to implement effective processing, review and production in a manner that’s practical and fully defensible. ”

The webinar discussion will focus on the needs of legal and IT professionals in law firms and corporations who handle e-discovery for mainstream litigation, investigations, and other legal challenges.  The webinar will take place on Friday 30th at 10 am Pacific, 1:00 PM Eastern time.  Visit the ACEDS website to register: http://bit.ly/pjgixt
