AccessData Corporation and CT Summation are to join forces and merge into a single company, AccessData Group, LLC. The new company will deliver an end-to-end eDiscovery software solution capable of addressing all phases of the litigation workflow.

AccessData eDiscovery software is designed to to address litigation hold, automated collection, processing, and analysis prior to attorney review. CT Summation provides litigation workflow and eDiscovery solutions to law firms and corporate legal departments, iBlaze, Enterprise, WebBlaze, CaseVault, CaseVantage and Discovery Cracker products.

CT Summation is part of Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services, which operates under the CT brand. Wolters Kluwer will remain as a strategic investor in the new AccessData Group, LLC, with a minority stake in the company.

By combining these complementary workflow solutions, AccessData aims to deliver an end-to-end eDiscovery software solution for corporations and law firms that supports the litigation process from litigation hold through trial.

“This is honestly the most exciting thing we have ever done here at AccessData, and I believe it will outright revolutionize the eDiscovery industry by streamlining customer’s workflows and introducing substantial cost and time savings, reducing the expense of litigation,” said Tim Leehealey CEO of AccessData. “Bringing together the legal and IT communities engaged in the eDiscovery process has long been a focus at AccessData, and this merger brings us dramatically closer to achieving that.”
