eDiscovery provider Reveal today (24 October) announces the acquisition of Technically Creative, a New York-headquartered IT services provider specialising in compliance; data loss prevention; infosec; risk controls; discovery and automating the surveillance process. It has experts in data conversion and integration and Reveal says that the acquisition will allow the “immediate deployment of a large number of data connectors to expand governance and compliance workflows within Reveal 11 – all of which will be fully-automated, cloud-native and scalable.” Reveal 11 is Reveal’s newest platform, unveiled during LegalWeek in March.
Reveal’s founder and CEO Wendell Jisa said: “Reveal continues to deliver on our promise to develop and deploy the very best technology right now, to benefit our customers at every step of the discovery process.
“Our acquisition of Technically Creative has enabled us to create an automated data connector suite and swat team that nimbly and seamlessly pulls data from emerging and legacy sources without needing forensic teams or additional hardware.”
The volume, variety and velocity of data is expanding at an unprecedented rate and the importance of being able to effectively extract key facts quickly and securely has never been more critical. With the acquisition of Technically Creative and Reveal’s rapid deployment of its robust suite of connectors, the company says that it will establish a direct and secure connection from data sources like Office 365, Teams, Slack and more, to Reveal’s AI ecosystem. This fully-automated process dramatically accelerates time to insight and reduces the cost of preservation and collection for clients, while at the same time mitigating risk when data is on the move.
The team from Technically Creative, led by CTO Chris Amatulli, will work together with Reveal’s technologists to continue to do what they do best in their new roles at Reveal. Amatulli is Reveal’s new vice president of engineering for connectors.
“For more than 16 years our team has worked with the world’s largest corporations in a variety of sectors, from healthcare to finance, to build out the most comprehensive line up of connectors and governance workflows available on the market,” said Amatulli. “We’re beyond excited to leverage Reveal’s powerful AI platform and capabilities to build on our previous achievements to innovate and execute the next-generation of data workflow solutions for Reveal clients.”
This is the latest in a series of acquisitions for Reveal, which between August 2020 and January 2021 acquired NexLP and merged with Brainspace.
Am Law 100 firms, Fortune 500 corporations, legal service providers, government agencies and financial institutions in more than 40 countries across five continents have already signed on to use the Reveal 11 platform. The most recent in the public domain is McDermott Will & Emery, which is using 11 for eDiscovery review and investigations.
