Legal Data Strategies and BIA Announce New TotalDiscovery Partnership

NEW YORK - July 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Business Intelligence Associates (http://www.biaprotect.com/), Inc. (BIA (http://www.biaprotect.com/)), a leader in eDiscovery software (http://www.biaprotect.com/our-product.html) and services (http://www.biaprotect.com/services.html) solutions, today announced that Legal Data Strategies (LDStrategies) has become a premier TotalDiscovery Channel Partner.  LDStrategies, an eDiscovery consultancy that specializes in helping law firms create more efficient and effective internal eDiscovery solutions, will specialize in helping firms adopt TotalDiscovery across their entire organization, bringing features, functions, and capabilities that firms traditionally have not had access to.

LDStrategies will help law firms gain control of the entire eDiscovery process internally, showing law firms how leveraging existing hosted solutions can help them tame the eDiscovery process, from Legal Holds through forensic collection, filtering, processing, hosting, and review.  In a time where law firms are facing more and more competition for eDiscovery budgets, LDStrategies will show firms how to leverage TotalDiscovery to regain that often lost revenue.

“TotalDiscovery’s legal hold, custodian questionnaire and remote collection features are desperately needed by law firms, and TotalDiscovery provides them with an instant solution, without any capital expenditures,” says R. Scott Nichols, President of LDStrategies.  “Moreover, with law firms facing increased obligations by courts to actively manage the entire eDiscovery process, even including ethical obligations to insure Legal Holds are properly issued and maintained, TotalDiscovery gives them the tools to meet those obligations – quickly, easily, and efficiently.”

“We’re very excited that LDStrategies has joined the TotalDiscovery Partner Channel,” says BIA President Brian E. Schrader. “ Their focus on helping law firms directly license and adopt TotalDiscovery – to directly take control of the entire eDiscovery process – is a unique approach among our Channel Partners, and one about which we’re truly excited.”
