Reveal, the global provider of the leading AI-powered
eDiscovery, review and investigations platform, today announced its
acquisition of Onna Technologies, a leading provider in helping
companies manage unstructured data from cloud-based collaboration
tools. With this strategic acquisition of the clear industry leader
in data collection, analysis and action, Reveal is significantly
enhancing the “left side” of the Electronic Discovery Reference
Model (EDRM) and its end-to-end eDiscovery platform. From
collection to the courtroom, Reveal provides the most comprehensive
spectrum of AI-powered software solutions in the legal industry and
beyond.
With the increase in digital collaboration, as noted in the
latest State of the Industry report from eDiscovery Today, nearly
90% of corporate respondents must collect collaboration data for
their legal cases. Relied on by enterprise organizations across the
globe, Onna has created the premier software solution that
addresses this need with its superior technology that allows for
effortless data gathering, deep analysis, and management. The
company's advanced capabilities enable users to connect, search,
and act on data from multiple sources in one place, using an
extensive library of pre-built, no-code connectors that tap into
complex data sources, including collaboration tools like Slack,
Teams, and Zendesk, and next-generation digital records.
“At Reveal, our mission has always been to provide the best
solutions for our customers, enabling them to interact with data
more efficiently and effectively,” said Wendell Jisa, founder &
CEO of Reveal. “The acquisition of Onna integrates the most
advanced data connection software and actionable tools into our
ecosystem, enhancing our ability to funnel critical information
seamlessly from collection to analysis. This not only makes the
process more cost-efficient but also significantly decreases legal
risk.”
The acquisition comes at a time when enterprises are grappling
with the sheer volume of unstructured data produced by modern
communication and collaboration tools. Onna's integration into
Reveal's eDiscovery platform will allow for the defensible
collection of data across the digital workplace, empowering
corporate legal teams to cull data efficiently, reduce the volume
for faster review-to-insight, thereby lowering costs and legal
risks for clients.
- Streamlined Data Collection and Analysis: Access a wide
array of pre-built, no-code connectors for efficient data
collection from modern collaboration tools like Slack and Teams,
integrating seamlessly into Reveal's eDiscovery platform for
streamlined data capture and early case assessment.
- Cost and Time Efficiency: Enhanced analytical tools and
reduced data volume for review lower eDiscovery costs and
accelerate the review process, providing significant time and cost
savings for clients.
- Minimized Legal Risk and Enhanced Compliance: Advanced
data management features ensure defensible data practices with
comprehensive audit logs, minimizing legal risks associated with
data handling and compliance.
- User-Centric Technology Integration: The merger combines
Onna’s intuitive, user-friendly technology with Reveal’s robust
eDiscovery tools, creating a seamless, end-to-end solution that
improves productivity and user satisfaction across legal
teams.
- Flexible Deployment Options: The acquisition allows
customers the freedom to utilize Onna’s data connector and
collection technology either as a standalone solution or integrated
within Reveal’s comprehensive eDiscovery platform. This flexibility
ensures that clients can tailor their data management approach to
best fit their specific needs and existing workflows.
“With the purchase of Onna, we're not just delivering powerful
technology; we're providing a user-centric experience our customers
genuinely want to use,” Jisa added. “The decision to add Onna to
the Reveal platform was an easy one and will provide yet another
way for our clients to easily manage and extract value from their
data.”
The acquisition and integration of Onna technology directly
aligns with Reveal's mission to automate the practice of law and
transform how legal professionals, from solo practitioners to Am
Law 100 firms, Fortune 500 companies, and government agencies,
leverage the most advanced AI technology available to drive the
eDiscovery process. The combined expertise of Reveal and Onna is
poised to set new industry standards in data collection and
management.
