Edmond Scientific Company Acquires Access Litigation

By Brad Jenkins

FAIRFAX, Va., Aug 28, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Edmond Scientific Company (ESC) has completed the acquisition of Access Litigation Support Services (ALSS). Under the terms of the agreement, ESC purchased existing EDD (Electronic Data Discovery) software including NatiVIEW Analytics 2.0 web-hosting solution, as well as proprietary data processing software, both award winning products developed by ALSS. In completing the acquisition, ESC not only complements its flourishing solutions-based litigation support business, but accelerates a strategy of service leadership through technological innovation in a rapidly growing e-discovery market.

"Initially, when we learned more about the solutions offered by ALSS, we were impressed by the gracefulness and power of the software's native file review, search, analysis, and foreign language processing features, as well as the potential to leapfrog our other development efforts and provide the foundation for our hosted review solution," states ESC Founder and CEO, John Pitale. "In keeping with our expressed goal to revolutionize the litigation support industry, we valued Access' market position over other possible alternatives. We intend to use our systems engineering-oriented approach for developing stable, robust solutions specifically tailored for client business processes, quickly building upon the complementary technological strengths and software assets of both companies, so to become a trail-blazer on the EDD frontier."
