AccessData Group Named a Visionary in Analyst Firm’s Inaugural E-Discovery Magic Quadrant Report

June 7, 2011 - PRLog -- LINDON, UTAH— AccessData, a pioneer of digital investigations and litigation support, announced it has been named by Gartner, Inc, a “Visionary” in the 2011 Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery Software”. [1]  This is Gartner’s first Magic Quadrant on the electronic discovery market space.

The report includes analysis of 24 electronic discovery vendors with assessment criteria ranging from product strategy to an understanding of the market. The report also accounts for direct customer experience and relationship with the software vendor.

“We believe this recognition is a confirmation that we continue to be an innovator and visionary in this space,” said Tim Leehealey, CEO of AccessData Group.  “Our strategy is to continue to be the vendor of choice to address the digital investigation needs of our growing client base. Our ability to solve the legal complexities brought about by massive volumes of data is a force that drives our in-house development team.”

According to the report, “Whether due to civil litigation in common-law countries, a request for interception, or a criminal investigation, the need to hand over data is something that organizations must deal with – and the U.S. Patriot Act is particularly important in this context.”

With litigation costs continuing to spiral due to the explosion of data growth, most enterprises have needs that extend beyond traditional e-discovery and are now looking to vendors to provide a full spectrum digital investigation solution.  AccessData not only solves the entire e-discovery lifecycle challenge from litigation hold through attorney review, but has the accuracy and quality demanded in criminal matters and government requests.
