NEW YORK, Feb 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Five years and hundreds of millions of pages after pioneering fixed-fee document review, DiscoverReady officially launches i-Decision(TM), its new process for automated document review. The launch will occur today at LegalTech New York, the largest legal technology conference in the world.

i-Decision(TM) uniquely leverages the best of human decisions and technology to deliver the most cost-effective, consistent and complete document review in the e-Discovery industry, manual or automated. i-Decision(TM) delivers the critical results that Fortune 500 corporations and their counsel must have from first-pass review.

• Cost-effective: typically 25% to 50% below the costs of traditional review
• Consistent: statistically proven to be more accurate than human review
• Complete: all documents are substantively reviewed and coded. It is a complete first-pass review replacement.
• Confidence:i-Decision(TM) is the synthesis of DiscoverReady's experience gained by reviewing hundreds of millions of pages in more than 400 cases.

See i-Decision(TM) in action next week - DiscoverReady is presenting information sessions about i-Decision(TM) each day of LegalTech: Feb. 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd at 3pm - at the Hilton New York (1335 Avenue of the Americas @ W. 53^rd Street), Concourse D, lower level.

"i-Decision(TM) is one of the most important new advances in the e-Discovery arena, and will dramatically reduce the cost and improve the consistency of first-pass review," said Jim Wagner, CEO of DiscoverReady. "At LegalTech New York, we will be introducing the process to the media and the legal technology community so they can learn about its benefits and clear advantages over an all-human or all-technology review approach."

In late 2009, Dolan Media (NYSE:DM) acquired a majority stake in DiscoverReady. Founders Jim Wagner and Steve Harber still retain significant ownership stakes and lead the company as CEO and President, respectively. The powerful combination of DiscoverReady's vision and Dolan Media's support is perfectly timed. The booming multi-billion dollar "e-Discovery" category is projected to grow at an annual rate of 30%+ in 2010 and beyond.

"DiscoverReady's proven management team is leading a company with innovative and exciting competitive advantages," said Dolan Media President and CEO James P. Dolan. "DiscoverReady's focus on large corporations, cost effective fixed-fee pricing models and recurring revenue strategies made it a very attractive addition to our Professional Services Division.
