Washington DC Litigation Support Service Provider LightSpeed LLC Chooses Viewpoint(TM) e-Discovery Software

HOUSTON, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- E-Discovery technology leader Lateral Data, LP announced today that LightSpeed LLC, a premier, full-service litigation support firm based in Washington DC, has selected Lateral Data's Viewpoint™ e-Discovery software as a core client service application.  LightSpeed, which serves both Washington-area and national legal and corporate firms, will use Viewpoint internally and in partnership with its clients to increase efficiency in executing e-Discovery services.

Viewpoint, Lateral Data's flagship product, is a licensed solution that facilitates virtually all the major components of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) spectrum including collection and preservation of data, pre-processing, full processing, analysis, review and production.  Featuring a familiar Outlook-style interface, the technology can execute tasks at speeds two to five times that of other leading platforms.  

In selecting Viewpoint, LightSpeed was attracted to the product's end-to-end service integration.  "The litigation support industry is constantly changing, with new products and technologies evolving quickly.  We were impressed with Viewpoint's ability to incorporate most EDRM services in a single platform and to do so in a fashion that is both fully integrated and instantly intuitive to our client partners," said Brian Philipp, Vice President, Discovery Solutions for LightSpeed.  "We believe Viewpoint to be easier, faster and simpler than many other products out there, which aligns perfectly with our approach and consultative goal of any review or analysis tool we offer.  This will certainly enhance our overall e-Discovery footprint and capability."

Mark Malone, LightSpeed CTO, stated that Viewpoint's tight integration would facilitate new efficiencies with clients.  "Viewpoint doesn't require the transfer of case documents from and to multiple products.  Because all files and functions remain within the Viewpoint environment, we have experienced notable time and accuracy improvements in internal and external workflows," Malone said.

Serving many of Washington DC's best-known law firms, LightSpeed LLC offers a complete range of litigation support services including collection, processing, hosting and production.  Staffed by highly experienced e-Discovery professionals, LightSpeed prides itself on its ability to expertly guide and manage complex e-Discovery assignments.

"LightSpeed is very in touch with the market.  Its decision, after reviewing competitive products,  to select Viewpoint based on its features and value, is very gratifying to Lateral Data," said Matt Berry, Founder and CEO of Lateral Data.  "We look forward to working with LightSpeed, a major resource in a city where legal expertise is truly world-class, in order to continually improve and add value to our Viewpoint platform."

Viewpoint, now available in version 4.5, also offers advanced capabilities including complex analytics, email threading, visual conceptual analysis and near-duplicate comparisons to keep pace with the market's most efficiency-focused and analytical demands.  To learn more about Viewpoint, visit www.lateraldata.com.
