why shift?
Now more than ever, corporations and law firms want predictable electronic discovery costs. And we can’t say we blame them. Let’s face it, per GB pricing, pricing based on compressed data size, pricing based on uncompressed data size - it’s all very confusing. shift makes cost predictability a reality by addressing three factors that can impact price. How? Read on.
Data Size - Historically, electronic discovery pricing has been dictated by the amount of data. shift is the industry’s first truly predictable data processing solution. With shift, pricing is based on the number of custodians, not data size.
Outsourcing vs. Internal Infrastructure Costs - Whether you outsource or process data in-house, both require substantial resources (human, software and/or hardware). With shift, there are no deployment costs, and much of the work you would traditionally expect from an external vendor, such as reports and project management, are automated.
Technology Limitations - Up until now, electronic discovery processing solutions have been based on traditional, and by traditional, we mean aging, data designs that rely on a backend database such as SQL or Oracle. These designs require a high level of maintenance and monitoring to operate effectively, and have limited scalability. Shift is built upon an industry-leading technology design that is designed to scale, which means no delays when your project increases in scope. It’s the same NOSQL database backend technology used by the world’s leading technology services, including Facebook, Twitter, Google and amazon.com.
