Disco reinvents ediscovery for lawyers Introducing ediscovery software every lawyer can love.
We are lawyers who have made ediscovery technology work for us not the other way around. By now it s a familiar story to most lawyers. With the explosion of data and communication technologies, reviewing documents and evidence with automated tools has become a necessity. Today, the legal profession depends on computer software and litigation support teams and consultants to help identify and sort through literally millions of documents in major cases and investigations. In the face of this tidal wave of information, lawyers have typically had to give up control of ediscovery, outsourcing the process to less experienced contract lawyers or more computer-savvy ediscovery specialists. Lawyers pretty much had no choice. Until now. That s because Disco has transformed ediscovery through our unique software-as-a-service solution, developed by lawyers, for lawyers. Disco has, in effect, reinvented ediscovery for lawyers. In doing so, we have harnessed the power of computer automation to offer you an ediscovery solution like no other.
The Disco Mission: Leveraging technology to deliver on the promise of the law At Disco we are dedicated to bringing the best technology to bear on the problems of the law, developing innovative solutions that let lawyers focus on doing what only they do best. Disco works like you work so it s faster, smarter, and easier to use than anything else out there. Three principles guide us in this mission: PRINCIPLE 1 Empower lawyers.

Disco is blazingly fast documents and email. You get 1/3-second search and 1/10-second document navigation speeds that are 10 times faster than competing software on even the largest multi-tb datasets. No more wasted time, waiting for data to load, or documents to appear on screen. Disco works at your speed, responding instantly to your requests. The Disco secret to being 10 times faster With Disco there s never any frustrating wait for searches to run and documents to load that you get with other ediscovery platforms, especially on large datasets. Customers switching to Disco report instant search speeds compared with Relativity, Kroll, Viewpoint, Concordance, and Summation products that typically take several seconds, minutes, or, in one case, overnight to conduct searches. Disco delivers 1/3 second search and 1/10 second document navigation for even the largest multi-tb datasets, performing 10x faster than competing ediscovery products. Here s why. 1. Disco uses newer database technology - Disco uses big data, next generation, no-sql database technologies that power the major search engine providers. Other ediscovery platforms still rely on legacy search engines and SQL databases. 2. infrastructure. Disco data centers incorporate the newest high-performance servers that perform much faster and more widely in performance capabilities. 3. Disco has integrated processing and review for instantaneous results. Disco has written all the code for its platform so everything works together. Other products are often stitched together using offerings from separate technology vendors that don t work together as a single cohesive product.
Disco is incredibly easy to use Disco was made for lawyers who want to focus on winning cases, not having to learn complex software or deal with the details of ediscovery. Disco enables you to handle everything from your desk with searches based on the familiar Westlaw and Lexis-style search syntax you learned in law school. Using only three screens one for search, one for review, one for production you can be instantly productive in Disco, running searches, reviewing and tagging documents, and generating productions and privilege logs. You can store and search productions in multiple matters from one database and use simple, sensible defaults for all ingest, tagging, and production options. Best of all, you see the same look and feel consistent across all Disco projects, so once you get familiar with how it works you re good to go. Disco helps make the difference between winning or losing. It's that simple." - Will Moye, Partner, Thompson Coe
Disco is surprisingly affordable All Disco projects include full processing, so there are no separate prices for processing features like email threading, duplicates and near duplicates, OCR, or imaging. No hidden costs or add on services that can bust your budget. Disco measures data for billing before any expansion during processing. This lets you predict your costs accurately by looking at the data size before you send data to Disco. Because data size typically doubles during processing, this also means you pay for only half the data size that is actually hosted in Disco and half the data size you see on other vendors invoices. I think only a lawyer really understands what you're going through when you're in the middle of discovery. We had been using Relativity but we chose Disco for its ease of use. - Erin Pikoff, Senior Attorney, Litchfield Cavo LLP
