Above the Law Highlights a Conversation with CloudNine’s Brad Jenkins

Extract from Above the Law article by Zach Abramowitz

Today, I’m chatting with CloudNine’s CEO Brad Jenkins to find out more about his company’s story, their approach to the cloud and the future of the ediscovery space.

Zach Abramowitz: Brad, thanks for joining me, tell me a bit of the background behind your company. When did you decide to pivot into software?

Brad Jenkins: Great question and, like most software companies, we had both a tactical reason and a strategic reason for deciding to invest in building our software solution.

The tactical catalyst for our development was simply a 10,000 box scan project where the client asked us how they could best manage their data once it was digitized. From that request, we began developing a custom solution to solve a specific customer problem, and that launched us down the road of software development.

From a strategic perspective, as a litigation services and support company founded in 2002, we certainly were aware of the print-to-digital and digital-to-discovery challenges and opportunities presented to providers over the last decade. Initially, we helped clients address eDiscovery challenges by aggregating best-of-breed technology and supporting that technology with a strong portfolio of professional services. Over time, we became highly aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the leading software platforms and began to develop our technology to address the core needs expressed daily by our customers. Those needs being speed, simplicity, and security. Addressing those underserved needs, we launched our initial software platform which has evolved into our SaaS-delivered CloudNine Simplified eDiscovery Automation platform.

Market Guide for E-Discovery Solutions: Mention of CloudNine By Gartner

Extract of report from Gartner Research

Authored by industry analyst Jie Zhang, and available for purchase from the Gartner website ($1,295.00), the new Market Guide for E-Discovery Solutions report provides information technology leaders and legal counsel considerations for the evaluation and selection of eDiscovery solutions. One of the areas highlighted in the report was eDiscovery Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

Considerations for eDiscovery SaaS included:

  • Cloud e-discovery solutions are gaining momentum in the market with their ease of use, and more competitive and straightforward pricing structures.
  • Select e-discovery SaaS solutions strategically. Depending on the maturity of in-house e- discovery processes and teams, SaaS solutions may not be suitable for all matters.
  • When selecting the SaaS provider, it is important to understand their data center locations, among other things.

CloudNine was mentioned as a representative software provider in the Market Guide for E-Discovery Solutions. Key elements of CloudNine’s offering include:

  • SaaS Deployment Model
  • Processing, Analytics, Review, and Production
  • Private Cloud
  • Self-Service
  • Task and Process Automation (Fully Integrated)
  • Full Suite of Professional Services

InsideCounsel Highlights 3 Reasons eDiscovery Companies Need Better Search Solutions

Extract from InsideCounsel article by Amanda Ciccatelli

With the amount of data being captured and stored by organizations doubling every 1.2 years, the ability to quickly and effectively search through data stores that are growing exponentially has become more important than ever to meet discovery obligations within reasonable costs.

There are three key reasons that law firms and e-discovery companies need better search solutions, according to [Doug] Austin [of CloudNine]. First, the ability to identify potentially relevant information in litigation quickly is key to determining the best course of action to proceeding in the case, and effective search is an important component to accomplishing that goal. Second, failure to preserve or produce clearly responsive electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation can lead to sanctions by the court.  And third, in a recent survey, budgetary constraints was identified as the factor to have the most impact on e-discovery business over the next six months, so search solutions help manage and control discovery costs to help litigants stay within reasonable budgets.

Austin shared three ways to address these issue including: Emphasize up-front information governance efforts to keep data volumes manageable and also identify all potential sources of data through an organization data map; emphasize automation of repeatable tasks within the discovery life cycle and select providers who can support that automation effort and help the organization reduce costs through reduction of personnel; and require their providers to offer predictable pricing models so that they can accurately estimate costs.

Brad Jenkins of CloudNine Discovery – eDiscovery Trends

This is the first of the 2013 LegalTech New York (LTNY) Thought Leader Interview series.  eDiscoveryDaily interviewed several thought leaders at LTNY this year and generally asked each of them the following questions:

  1. What are your general observations about LTNY this year and how it fits into emerging trends?
  2. If last year’s “next big thing” was the emergence of predictive coding, what do you feel is this year’s “next big thing”?
  3. What are you working on that you’d like our readers to know about?

Today’s thought leader is Brad Jenkins of CloudNine Discovery.  Brad has over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, as well as 14 years leading customer focused companies in the litigation support arena. Brad also writes the Litigation Support Industry Blog, which covers news about litigation support and e-discovery companies’ funding activities, acquisitions & mergers and notable business successes. He has authored many articles on document management and litigation support issues, and has appeared as a speaker before national audiences on document management practices and solutions.  He’s also my boss!   🙂

What are your general observations about LTNY this year and how it fits into emerging trends?

Well, clearly the technology assisted review/predictive coding wave is the most popular topic here at the show.  I think I counted at least six sessions discussing the topic and numerous vendors touting their tools.  And, this blog covered it and the cases using quite a bit last year.  I’m sure you’ll hear that from a lot of the folks you’re interviewing.

Another trend that I’m seeing is integration of applications to make the discovery process more seamless, especially the integration of cloud-based collection and review applications.  We have an alliance with BIA and their TotalDiscovery legal hold and collection tool, which can export data into our review application, OnDemand®, which our clients are using quite successfully to collect data and move it along the process.  I think the “best of breed” approach between an application that’s focused on the left side of the EDRM model and one that’s focused on the right side is an approach that makes sense for a lot of organizations.

If last year’s “next big thing” was the emergence of predictive coding, what do you feel is this year’s “next big thing”?

I’m not sure that I see just one thing as the “next big thing”.  I certainly see the continued focus on integration of applications as one big thing.  Another big thing that I see is a broadening acceptance of technology assisted review from more than just predictive coding.  For example, clustering similar documents together can make review more efficient and more accurate and we provide that in OnDemand through our partnership with Hot Neuron’s Clustify™.

Perhaps the biggest thing that I see is education and adoption of the technology.  Many lawyers still don’t actively use the technology and don’t find the applications intuitive.  We’ve worked hard to make OnDemand easy to use, requiring minimal or no training.  A lot of vendors tout their products as easy to use, but we’re backing our claim with our free no risk trial of OnDemand that includes free data assessment, free native processing, free data load and free first month hosting for the first data set on any new OnDemand project.  We feel that we have a team of “Aces” and a hand full of aces is almost impossible to beat.  So, the free no risk trial reflects our confidence that clients that try OnDemand will embrace its ease-of-use and self-service features and continue to use it and us for their discovery needs.

What are you working on that you’d like our readers to know about?

In addition to our integration success with BIA, our partnership with Clustify and our free no risk trial, we’re also previewing the initial release of the mobile version of OnDemand.  The first mobile version will be designed for project administrators to add users and maintain user rights, as well as obtain key statistics about their projects.  It’s our first step toward our 2013 goal of making OnDemand completely platform independent and we are targeting a third quarter release of a new redesigned version of OnDemand that will support that goal.

Thanks, Brad, for participating in the interview!
