FTI's Award-Winning Ringtail(R) Legal(TM) Solution Delivers Safe
Data Management Globally NEW YORK, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory
firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their
enterprise value, today announced the launch of a new
state-of-the-art data center in Australia for the secure and
scalable hosting of data needed for legal, regulatory or
investigative matters. No matter the jurisdiction, the new data
center offers Australian companies, government agencies and those
managing e-discovery matters in Asia with seamless access to
Ringtail Legal, the market's most powerful, flexible, and secure
document review and case management platform. "The data center
breaks new ground in the Asia Pacific region for its support for
large-scale litigations and investigations," said David Bowie,
managing director of FTI Technology in Australia. "With global
capacity and full-service Ringtail offerings, FTI continues to set
the standard for easing the complexity and lowering the overall
cost of e-discovery for our Asia Pacific and global clients." As
highlighted in a recent IDC white paper sponsored by FTI
Technology, Corporate E-Discovery Trends 2009: Doing More with Less
While Facing Increasing Complexity in E-Discovery(1), e-discovery
is growing increasingly complex and expensive. Legal matters
involve greater volumes of data, take longer to resolve and are
increasingly global in nature. These trends underscore the need for
corporations to utilize cost-effective e-discovery tools that can
scale to large, multi-national matters. Ringtail addresses this
need through its highly secure and scalable platform. Fully
integrated review, analysis, redaction and production capabilities
within Ringtail can streamline the e-discovery process while in
compliance with local data privacy requirements and other
jurisdictional rulings. For example, Ringtail's production features
help legal practitioners comply with native file discovery
obligations under the Federal Court of Australia's Practice Note 17
for Advanced Document Management Protocols. Ringtail's extensive
production capabilities enable legal teams to quickly and
confidently respond to requests of any size. Ringtail has been
recognized with two influential industry awards within the past six
months. Recently, Ringtail Legal was selected for a silver award by
Law Technology News readers in the category of case management
software for large law firms. KMWorld Magazine also named Ringtail
to its "Trend-Setting Product Award of 2009" list. In addition to
these product-specific awards, FTI Technology has been named a
"strong positive" vendor in Gartner Research's "MarketScope for
E-Discovery Software Product Vendors, 2009" report (Debra Logan,
John Bace, and Whit Andrews, December 21, 2009). "Strong positive"
is the highest possible rating given in the influential industry
report. The Asia Pacific data center complements FTI's existing
data centers in Europe and North America. All of the FTI data
centers offer state-of-the-art networks, power architecture and
top-level physical security of the data, including access control
lists, security officers and biometrics. For more information about
