HOUSTON – April 21, 2023 – eDiscovery technology leader CloudNine announced a CloudNine Analyst integration today with Message Crawler, the technology solution for creating chat data export files. This integration makes it easier and more efficient to handle modern communications in eDiscovery.

It also offers many export formats, including the industry standard DAT file, which CloudNine pioneered over 20 years ago, in addition to other load file formats like Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) files and more.

“Our customers tell us that dealing with Teams, Bloomberg, and other types of modern data is one of the biggest obstacles to conducting efficient and comprehensive evidence review,” said Rick Clark, VP, Strategic Partnerships for CloudNine. “Our integration with Message Crawler enhances the CloudNine Analyst near native review of modern communications and allows for fully integrated timeline with all available data.”

Nickolai Pozdniakov, founder of HashtagLegal and developer of Message Crawler, commented on the partnership: “We’re excited to have a relationship with CloudNine.
