Digital Reef Announces Partnership with Smart Data Consulting

Leading eDiscovery consulting and service provider to utilize Digital Reef’s scalable discovery platform for high-volume eDiscovery matters.

Boxborough, MA, January 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Digital Reef (www.digitalreefinc.com), developer of the first massively scalable information management, governance, and discovery platform, today announced that Smart Data Consulting – an eDiscovery consulting and litigation support service provider – has adopted the Digital Reef platform for high-volume data processing and advanced culling capabilities.

The combination of large volumes of electronically stored information (ESI) and diverse, complex data types such as forensic disk images creates real eDiscovery challenges. In order to best serve clients, service providers need to efficiently handle huge amounts of data, process all data types efficiently, and be able to cull data sets down to what really matters very quickly. Smart Data Consulting has partnered with Digital Reef to do just that.

Digital Reef’s platform allows eDiscovery consultants and service providers like Smart Data Consulting to more efficiently support clients with large data volumes and diverse data types. The partnership makes sense because Digital Reef natively supports processing of complex file types like forensic disk images and other image files – data that would normally need to be sent to a separate tool for processing and thus diminish efficiency.

“What we like about the Digital Reef platform is that it helps us better serve our client’s unstructured data needs,” stated Edward Robles, Co Founder of Smart Data Consulting. “With Digital Reef, we can cull high volumes of data inclusive of our collected forensic images and quickly get to the responsive documents while protecting against image only file types. Imer Perezic, also a founder notes “we don’t need multiple tools to handle forensic disk images or non searchable files. In addition, we can use Digital Reef’s advanced culling capabilities like near-deduplication to further minimize the responsive data set.”

“eDiscovery service providers need an infrastructure that allows them to scale quickly and seamlessly,” stated Bob Lentz, president and CEO of Digital Reef. “Having a service provider with the reputation of Smart Data Consulting choose to use Digital Reef for its large volume matters validates the emphasis we have put on creating a scalable platform that supports all data types.”
