FAST, Lexis-Nexis in Partnership

SEATTLE -- As law firms seek to reduce costs and increase client service, and as the volume of digital documents needed for e-discovery multiplies at a rapid pace, demand continues to grow for ways to make one of the most costly and time consuming elements of litigation - discovery - more predicable, proficient, accurate and cost effective.

Today, LexisNexis and FASTT announce a significant enhancement to meet each of those needs with the implementation of the highly regarded FAST InStreamR search technology platform into the Applied DiscoveryR online review application. The integration now enables legal professionals to conduct faster, more precise and efficient review of documents during the discovery phase of any case.

"Timeliness, control and confidence in the ability to find and assess all relevant documents are all vital in the review process of e- discovery,"said Scott Nagel, vice president and managing director of the LexisNexis Discovery Services group. "The implementation of FAST InStream technology directly addresses each of these key client needs, greatly enhancing their ability to use Applied Discovery for fast, accurate and meaningful discovery."
