Portland, Ore. – July 22, 2008 – Fios® Inc., dedicated exclusively to delivering comprehensive electronic discovery services to corporations and their outside counsel, today announced that it has been named a top five e-discovery service provider in the influential 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. Fios was named as a top five leader both for its overall services and available capacity. The company was also recognized as a leader by both law firms and corporations, and for its comprehensive services in evidence collection, processing, analysis and production.
"Fios is very excited to again be recognized as a top five e-discovery services provider in this annual survey," said Jeanette Slepian, vice president of marketing at Fios. "Delivering comprehensive services that help clients defensibly prepare for and respond to complex e-discovery requests has been our exclusive focus for over a decade. The 2008 survey results underscore our success in helping clients address e-discovery as a process enabled by people and technology."
The survey named Fios as a top provider in eight different categories and recognized the company for its ability to serve clients during every phase of the e-discovery process. Fios is one of the very few e-discovery providers to consistently achieve this level of recognition since the survey was originally launched in 2003.
"We're pleased that the annual survey has grown to be regarded as one of the leading market indicators for tracking the growth of the electronic discovery market," said George Socha, co-developer of the annual survey and principal at Socha Consulting LLC. "Fios is one of the premier providers and has regularly been ranked as a top leader in the annual survey results."
The 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey examines the demands for and consumption of commercial EDD services and software.
