“Having had the opportunity to observe Blackstone in the marketplace we were impressed with their expertise, professionalism and intuition.” stated Matt Schroeder, who manages the San Francisco Forensic Technology practice at StoneTurn, “Blackstone excels at arriving at effective solutions when dealing with wide ranges of data processing and database hosting.  Our two organizations have developed protocols for working seamlessly together, providing excellent service and smart solutions for our clients, which has been a big differentiator.”

The certified professionals at StoneTurn and BlackStone have collaborated on numerous projects involving the collection, recovery, and analysis of forensic material.  Recently, StoneTurn and BlackStone partnered on a large late night on-site data collection comprised of 20+ custodians.  Although the collection had many unique attributes, the collaborative approach StoneTurn and BlackStone developed solved the various database and multi-platform issues presented at the client environment.  Through the use of BlackStone’s Rapid Response Methodology, the consultants established the scope, breadth, and depth of the client’s needs, framed the underlying issues, and identified key custodians and the associated data.  The consultants formulated the smartest strategic approach to enhance productivity and reduce costs, maximizing results and minimizing surprises.
