After managing over 10,000 large matters for hundreds of law firms, corporations, and GCs, we began developing our own eDiscovery software for sale and use by our customers.  In 2012, we began to migrate our business model to a SaaS, subscription eDiscovery Company, noting major trends among eDiscovery vendors in the industry that prices are commoditizing and technology is giving legal professionals the power to deliver discovery services themselves. We’re here to help you meet your legal requirements and as stated in Rule #1 of the FRCP, enable you to provide “Just, Speedy and Inexpensive” eDiscovery. Schedule a demo and learn why Digital War Room is one of the top ediscovery vendors on the market today. #### Products [eDiscovery Software](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/ediscovery-software) [Multi Matter Cloud eDiscovery](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/private-cloud) [Request Private Cloud Contract](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/private-cloud/request-contract) [Single Matter Hosted eDiscovery](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/single-matter) [Request Single Matter Contract](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/single-matter/request-contract) [Desktop eDiscovery Sofware](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/pro-software) [Buy Pro Desktop Software](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/pro-software/buy-now) [Tech Requirements For Desktop](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/products/pro-software/onboarding-guide)   #### Resources [Contact Us](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/company/contact-us) [Pricing](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/pricing) [Features](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/features) [eDiscovery Blog](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/blog) [Legal Discovery Process Checklist](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/ediscovery-checklist-manifesto) [What Is eDiscovery?](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/what-is-ediscovery-software) [Privacy Policy](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/privacy-policy) [Site Map](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/site-map)   #### Leave us a message [Schedule Demo](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/meetings/dwr-demo/general) [Testimonials](https://www.digitalwarroom.com/testimonials) Follow us on social channels: - [**](https://twitter.com/DigitalWarRoom) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-warroom) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/digitalwarroom) © 2021 Digital WarRoom All Rights Reserved Website developed by [GiantFocal](https://www.giantfocal.com/) ** ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=2532012&fmt=gif)
