When a law firm was instructed to conduct an investigation on behalf of a large, South African infrastructure client, they requested Salient assist in the processing of the data. Coincidentally, the company, on whose behalf the law firm was acting, already had a subscription for our eDiscovery platform. We suggested that they could use some of the available processing capacity in their existing subscription to conduct the task. This meant that the investigation was able to commence faster because our existing relationship meant that contract due diligence, risk assessments and data privacy requirements were already in place. It also represented significant cost savings for the company concerned.
For clients accessing our services through a platform subscription, they benefit from favourable rates based on the aggregated needs across the term, which along with larger matters, also makes it cost effective to use high end eDiscovery technology on smaller cases that might not have made the threshold previously. They also benefit from a standardised process, and for companies using panels of legal advisers and forensic investigators for a variety of different cases, this can save considerable time, reduce risk and ensure consistency.
