We all know eDiscovery is a pain. It’s expensive, tedious and risky. But what if it could be speedy, safe and less costly? That’s where Recommind comes in.
In September, Recommind, the leader in predictive information management software, was highlighted in IDC’s “MarketScape: The Worldwide Standalone Early Case Assessment Applications Report.”
The report analyzed early case assessment applications that incorporate research, text analytics, workflow automation and project management capabilities into a single product. Through in-depth surveys and customer interviews, IDC compared vendors’ capabilities and strategies, focusing on the factors most likely to influence success.
“Among the factors that made Recommind a top performer are the sophisticated and very robust analytics of the company’s Axcelerate® ECA & Collection application,” said Vivian Tero, program director at IDC.
The report notes several key strengths of the Recommind solution:
• Axcelerate ECA & Collection’s rapid indexing speed and relatively small index footprint;
• Its ability to connect with and search against an extensive list of distributed endpoints and messaging systems, including Symantec EnterpriseVault, Microsoft SharePoint and several more;
• Its ability to throttle back indexing, to minimize the impact on enterprise infrastructure and bandwidth.

Ed. note: This post is authored by Evan Jowers and Robert Kinney of Kinney Recruiting, sponsor of the Asia Chronicles. Kinney has made more placements of U.S. associates and partners in Asia than any other firm in the past five years. You can reach them by email: asia@kinneyrecruiting.com
It has been a busy past several weeks for our Asia team at Kinney Recruiting. Evan Jowers was in Boston earlier this week, participating in Harvard Law School’s Market Series. This is the first year they are including Asia markets in the program and Evan was asked by Harvard to be their exclusive recruiter representative for those markets. Evan will work with Harvard’s office of career services and be available to its law students who seek advice on the Asia markets and US and UK firms in Asia, where they may 2L summer and / or start as a 1st year associate. If you are a law student from another top JD program and have questions about the Asia markets, please feel free to reach out to us as well, at asia@kinneyrecruiting.com. Of course, we can’t place law students at firms (that is what on-campus recruiting is for), but we are happy to provide advice and begin positive long-term relationships.
In late April and earlier this month, Evan Jowers and Robert Kinney were working out of our Hong Kong offices for a couple of weeks, meeting with various law firm and attorney candidate clients. Also, in late March and early April, Evan Jowers and Yuliya Vinokurova were working out of our Hong Kong offices for a few weeks. Alexis Lamb is of course based in Hong Kong full time.
In mid April, from our Asia team, Evan Jowers, Robert Kinney, Alexis Lamb, Yuliya Vinokurova, Danielle Cyr, Peter Gutensohn, and Josh Carr were all in Austin, Texas for the annual NALP conference.
Please note that Evan Jowers will be in Beijing for most of July.
