Second location in India supports growing eDiscovery document review business

Xact Data Discovery (XDD), a leading international provider of discovery and data management services for law firms, corporations and government agencies, announces the expansion of its offshore operations with a new location now open in Bangalore, India.

The facility was added to support XDD’s growing electronic discovery business, and in particular its document review offering, which has seen significant growth in the past year.

Bangalore (also called Bengaluru) is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka and is known as the “Silicon Valley of India.” The city was selected by XDD as the location of this expansion for its concentration of highly qualified human resources. Three of India’s top five law schools are in Bangalore, which is considered to have an overall better quality of life and nicer climate than other Indian metropolitan cities. XDD employs dozens of attorneys to perform client document reviews.

“The continued growth of our discovery review business prompted the need to expand XDD’s offshore facilities, and we couldn’t be happier with our new location and staff in Bangalore,” says Xact Data Discovery CEO Robert Polus. He adds, “Our clients are confident in the work product delivered, and our employees in India are genuinely appreciative of the opportunity to work for a growing, successful American company like Xact Data Discovery.”

The new facility secured by XDD is the equivalent of “class A” space in the United States. The office is open 24 hours per day and offers optimum security, including ISO 9001 certification. XDD staff in Bangalore will handle legal project management in addition to document review and other aspects of eDiscovery work. In addition to the new office, the company continues to operate its original offshore location in Vijayawada, India. XDD currently employs approximately 75 permanent staff in the two offices.
