“New Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have significantly increased the volume of relevant evidence data that must be collected, and yet the time allocated to produce this evidence continues to shrink,” said Tim Williams, CEO of Index Engines. “By using the Index Engines Enterprise Discovery Platform, our Litigation Ready partners are processing data faster and more efficiently than ever before. This has enabled them to provide litigation support on cases that was not possible prior to using our enterprise discovery technology.”
