Clearwell Systems

Clearwell Systems is an electronic discovery software company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Mountain View, California.
Clearwell Systems develops the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform, which automates the processing, analysis, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI) to help enterprises perform electronic discovery in response to litigation, regulatory inquiries, and corporate investigations.
Rated as a "Strong Positive" (highest possible rating given) in Gartner's 2009 E-Discovery MarketScope Report and voted a Top 5 E-Discovery Software Provider by the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann survey, the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform streamlines the processing, analysis, review and production phases of e-discovery. Clearwell seamlessly integrates with the enterprise's electronic discovery process and does not require any changes to existing file collection and production processes. Many leading corporations have dramatically lowered their e-discovery costs using Clearwell, by accelerating early case assessments, culling-down data by up to 90%, increasing review throughput, reducing movement of data across multiple tools, and improving the defensibility of their electronic discovery process.
Fully operational within 25 minutes, the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform:
# Accelerates document processing, allowing users to gain immediate visibility into case facts and estimate case budget
# Brings a new level of transparency to e-discovery search, enabling a more collaborative and defensible process
# Delivers interactive analysis and culling capabilities to prune large datasets to much smaller, more relevant ones
# Offers integrated and flexible e-discovery workflow from processing to review and production, eliminating the costly movement of data across multiple, disparate tools
# Provides comprehensive case management, auditing, and reporting capabilities, enabling users to monitor case progress in real-time
Clearwell Systems is also recognized as a pioneer in Early Case Assessment, an activity that enables analysis of case facts.
