You don’t need a litigation support department, an IT team or an enterprise eDiscovery budget to handle discovery well.
CloudNine Review gives solo attorneys, paralegals and small to mid-size firms one cloud-based platform to process, search, review, redact and produce electronically stored information. There’s nothing to install and no servers to maintain.
Texts, chats and email, reviewed in context
Discovery isn’t just email anymore. CloudNine Review keeps text messages, Teams and Slack chats, and their attachments together in the conversation where they happened, so you review the whole exchange instead of hundreds of disconnected documents.
- SMS, WhatsApp, Teams, Slack and email in one review workspace
- Attachments and images stay with the message they were sent in
- Search, select and tag individual messages or the entire thread
Have You Outgrown Folders, PDFs and Spreadsheets?
Most small firms don’t start with eDiscovery software. They start with what they have. Documents land in a folder, emails get exported from Outlook, PDFs get created, and a spreadsheet tracks what’s been reviewed.
For a small collection, that works. Then the case grows: more custodians, more email, attachments, text messages, duplicate files, new productions, redactions and privilege calls.
Suddenly your team is searching across:
- Outlook and email attachments
- Teams and Slack messages
- Smartphones and text messages
- Shared drives and external drives
- PDF folders and ZIP files
- Excel trackers and multiple versions of the same document
That’s when manual discovery becomes a risk. CloudNine Review brings it all into one searchable platform.
Everything Discovery Requires, in One Browser-Based Workspace
Upload the data. Find what matters. Tag it. Produce what you need. With CloudNine Review, your team can:
- Collect Microsoft data and upload it to CloudNine Review automatically
- Upload all case data automatically, including modern data like text messages and chat
- Search and filter large collections of documents and communications
- Review email and chat conversations in context
- Tag responsive documents and flag potentially privileged or confidential material
- Redact sensitive information
- Prepare productions
- Collaborate with attorneys, paralegals, clients and co-counsel from anywhere
- Get professional eDiscovery help whenever you need it
You get the capabilities you need without building an enterprise eDiscovery operation around them.
Do It Yourself When You Want To. Get Help When You Need It.
A cloud platform puts your legal team in control of the work. That doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself.
If you need help processing data, preparing a production or working through a complicated dataset, CloudNine’s eDiscovery professionals can step in.
Use the platform yourself, bring in our team, or combine both. You don’t have to choose between expensive outside vendors and doing everything by hand.
A Practical Alternative to Enterprise eDiscovery Platforms
Many eDiscovery platforms are built for large firms, corporations and dedicated litigation support teams. For a smaller firm, that can mean:
- Complicated pricing structures
- Lengthy implementation
- Extensive training
- Dedicated technical staff
- Additional hosting or processing fees
- Complex workflows
CloudNine Review gives smaller legal teams another option: purpose-built eDiscovery without the unnecessary complexity.
Questions to ask any platform you’re comparing
- How quickly can my team get started?
- How much training will we need?
- Can my paralegal manage the day-to-day workflow?
- Can I handle a small case without paying for an enterprise environment?
- What happens when I need help?
- What will this case actually cost in total?
Those questions matter as much as any feature comparison chart. Tell us about your matter, and we’ll walk you through the options and what it would cost.
