SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Anacomp(R)( )Inc., a leading provider of litigation support and business process services and solutions, today announced the availability of new early case assessment (ECA) services that offer law firms and corporate general counsel (GC) departments the ability to gain early insight into cases, help determine case strategy, and predict, control and minimize the costs, risks and time of electronic discovery. The new services augment Anacomp's robust portfolio of eDiscovery services, which leverage CaseLogistix(R), Anacomp's flagship litigation review platform, and the company's proven experience in accelerating litigation processes and reducing costs and risks.

Anacomp's ECA services provide the metrics, methods and technologies to empower litigators to make optimal decisions early pertaining to case strategy and budgets. The services include defensible search methodologies to reduce the volume of electronically stored information (ESI) required for review, and the means to slash indexing times and nearly all reprocessing prior to review. The services offer litigators the ability to bring predictable, reasonable costs to electronic data discovery processes, reduce unnecessary capital expenditures, and eliminate spends typically made under tight deadlines or resource constraints.

"By leveraging our proven processes and technologies, Anacomp's ECA services offer litigators the ability to gain early visibility into ESI and make smart, budget-conscious decisions about what to review and how to negotiate the scope of data discovery," said Chuck Kellner, Anacomp's Vice President of eDiscovery Consulting. "As we realize that ECA can mean different things to various stakeholders, we offer a consultative approach and a scalable solution that is flexible in how it acquires data. Our services ensure lawyers and litigation support professionals' satisfaction with the defensibility of search methods, and the speed and continuity of litigation processes."

"The ability to gain early insight into the facts of a case, determine case strategy, and predict, control and reduce costs is exactly what law firms and general counsel departments are looking for," said Browning E. Marean, a Senior Partner at DLA Piper USLCP. "A vendor's strategy of approaching ECA as a process, and offering the right combination of consulting services enabled by proven technology should be the right one for addressing these challenges and differentiating itself from other providers in the marketplace."

Anacomp's ECA Services offer a powerful alternative to other ECA offerings on the market, as its underlying technologies feature substantially faster operations, higher capacity processing, intelligent data collection and superior search, analytics and processing abilities powered by CaseLogistix and other best-in-breed technologies. Leveraging these technologies, proven processing and experienced consulting services, Anacomp's ECA Services provide defensible, best-practice and cost-effective solutions to eDiscovery challenges.
