Zapproved and Nuix Announce Technology Partnership: Processing for In-House Legal Teams
Zapproved LLC and Nuix announced that the companies have entered a technology partnership that will integrate Zapproved’s powerful ZDiscovery platform for managing in-house litigation response with industry leading Nuix processing engine for electronic discovery.
In a release, Zapproved said this partnership will improve the ZDiscovery platform’s speed, file coverage, and flexibility by tapping the powerful processing capabilities of Nuix. ZDiscovery’s Legal Hold Pro and Digital Discovery Pro modules will continue to offer the same simplicity and intuitive experience that have made it the most widely-used software among in-house legal teams. The integration of the Nuix processing engine is commencing and will be available to Zapproved’s users in 2020.
“We are seeing a surge in adoption of our ECA and review product among in-house legal teams,” said Monica Enand, CEO and Co-founder of Zapproved. “We saw an opportunity to further enhance our platform with the Nuix processing engine by integrating it with the industry’s leading legal hold management system used by hundreds of enterprises. We work in partnership with others in the ediscovery ecosystem, and this is a creative path to work with a proven leader to further support our many hundreds of in-house teams.”
“Nuix and Zapproved have worked together for many years and this is a natural step in our relationship,” said Rod Vawdrey, Group Chief Executive Officer of Nuix. “This partnership opens another path for us to bring Nuix’s processing capability into the ediscovery market with an established leader.”
Zapproved said growth of in-house processing and review systems is accelerating in response to the need to lower ediscovery costs and increase data security. According to the BDO’s 2019 Inside E-Discovery & Beyond survey published in April 2019, “[a]s the volume of data explodes and data privacy and regulatory compliance concerns grow, 71 percent of corporate counsel are considering leveraging technology and/or best practices to streamline their legal operations in the next 12 months…. That number climbs to 91 percent for organizations with annual revenues of over $1 billion.”
