Equivalent Data Announces Shorter Name, Suggests Bigger Plans

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Equivalent DATA LLC, a leading provider of data software and services for legal, government, and compliance groups, has shortened their name to EQD. In August of 1994, EQD opened its doors as The MedLeh Group, primarily focused on discovery services for litigation. Today, EQD has several lines of business including its proprietary electronic discovery software, needlefinder.

"The abbreviated name was largely driven by our customers and staff who often refer to us as EQD," says Mike Medrano, CEO and president. "The name change and corresponding rebrand not only supports the numerous offerings we have today but allows us greater flexibility as we explore organic and accretive growth opportunities in the future."                                                            

The Company's long-term agenda has not been publicly released but recent staff additions indicate big plans. In September EQD added Carl Rice, the former head of Data Retention and Disposition Architecture for Bank of America. In February, IBM alum, Bruce Lobona joined the team. "Not only are we making a sizable investment in our technologies and our brand equity, we are investing in people who bring a level of expertise and insight to EQD that is hugely beneficial as we move forward," states Medrano. 

As part of EQD's rebranding efforts, a website has been launched at www.eqd.com that showcases current services and celebrates 20 years of operational footing. With a growing staff, strong financial support, and long-standing business success the Company is well positioned for further expansion.  

Formed in 1994, EQD consults with law firms and corporations across the country. Locations include Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York City. EQD provides forensic collections and investigations, electronic discovery, project management, paper discovery, managed document review services and attorney staffing.
