"With VenioOne, our business grew by 400%. We do almost 10 times more data processing and manage three times more data than before. We signed up several large clients, and we know that we can scale even further. Venio has the credible cloud capability, functionality and speed at a much lower TCO to be our long-term eDiscovery platform."

"The industry on a whole has been looking for an eDiscovery self-service model to come into play. We had clients specifically ask if we had a self-service model. VenioOne onDemand offers that, and we wanted to leverage it. We’ve had a lot of success. Our client feedback on VOD has been great!"

"In my experience, law firms and their clients avoid some of the most damaging discovery mistakes by managing the legal hold process effectively. This is true for individual cases and across matters. Leveraging technology to automate a well-thought-through workflow helps bring consistency and discipline to the hold process in addition to gains in productivity. That is why I like Venio’s focus on its new integrated Legal Hold module."

“Dealing with redaction in review has been a complicated process. We have to identify and remove sensitive financial information in Excel files, but viewing them outside our eDiscovery platform or as image files wastes valuable time and increases our costs. What we need is a single platform that lets us redact files easily and quickly — and that’s what Venio Review delivers. It saves time, reduces expenses, and, because it allows us to remove sensitive data, it reduces our risk."
