Fios, provider of electronic evidence discovery services offers litigation teams a complete solution surrounding the acquisition, conversion, management, analysis, and distribution of electronic data associated with the litigation discovery process. As an electronic discovery leader, Fios focuses on cases that deal with complex and novel issues where the evidence is in an electronic form. Fios' services enable litigation teams to better represent their clients, which is critically important when the stakes can be in the millions.

In fact, electronic discovery has become such a valuable strategy that, in some cases, paper documents are also converted into electronic files. Buried within the files are often the "smoking guns" litigators can use to win a case. Fios enables litigators to instantly find and categorize needed information making the discovery process more effective and efficient.

Once discovery material arrives at the Fios data center, technicians convert and process the material, building a comprehensive archive of all of the electronic data. This is then posted to a web-based repository for easy access.

Litigation teams then search the archive and prioritize the findings. This system needs to deliver search results in as little time as possible. These case archives can be enormous depending on the case and litigators need a fast and comprehensive solution for retrieving information.

Based on Fios' review of advanced keyword search engines, they discovered that dtSearch was the only search engine that met Fios' requirements. "We found that dtSearch was the best of breed in its category," said Lyman Potts, Fios' Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Fios is currently using dtSearch in conjunction with a variety of proprietary software tools to provide electronic discovery services to clients.
