At Salient, we understand that the demands of modern investigations and cases often require long term data preservation. Whether it’s for litigious cases, long-running investigations, or regulatory compliance, secure and reliable data hosting is essential.
But what if this ongoing cost to your business could actually become an asset?
The reusable subscription model
Our reusable subscription model offers an innovative solution for businesses that need to manage large volumes of data for long term data preservation. We’ve collaborated with a client who has maximised the benefits of this model, and their experience highlights several advantages that could benefit your forensic investigations teams:
Flexible data management
The client migrated from a legacy platform (EDT) to Reveal. In doing so, they gained more spare capacity thanks to Reveal’s alternative pricing approach. This excess gave them the flexibility to use their committed data subscription across various matters, optimising their resources.
Cost-effective collaboration
By leveraging their subscription, the client was able to work with multiple law firms and investigators on other large and complex cases (such as state capture investigations) without incurring additional eDiscovery subscription fees.
Predictable costs and security control
Our model provides predictable long-term costs and allows the client to maintain control over the platform that hosts their data. This means they are not dependent on the technology preferences of different law firms, and don’t need to repeat due diligence on security and compliance arrangements as their data does not need to be moved around.
Reusable capacity for new cases
When historical cases conclude, the client reused the spare capacity for new investigations, whether large or small. By contracting for a larger volume over an extended period, they benefited from preferential per-gigabyte rates. This made smaller jobs more cost-effective to investigate thanks to Reveal’s advanced analytical technology and the Salient team’s expertise.
Leveraging generative AI for intelligence
The client also used the platform to store and analyse historical forensic reports, applying generative AI to extract valuable investigative insights. By reusing their spare capacity, they were able to perform actions like cross-referencing current persons of interest with historical cases – all at a cost-effective price point that would otherwise have been unattainable. Furthermore, they were able to process and cycle smaller cases through the platform, removing data once the investigations were complete.
Get started
Salient’s subscription model empowers clients to take advantage of economies of scale, lower the barrier for entry into new use cases, simplify compliance and security due diligence, and standardise their data management platform across the organisation.
