MatterPoint
Simplifying Case Management

As a matter begins to take shape, firms have traditionally had the choice between two distinct options: store volumes upon volumes of ESI in their own data centers or transfer it to a third-party hosting company. Unfortunately, both choices are less than ideal.

Managing ESI in house often requires additional IT investments and increases purchase, provisioning and testing times, making it difficult to capture the costs directly related to a matter. Meanwhile, the hosting option is expensive, frequently includes unnecessary, additional services and removes direct control of data, which forces firms to use unfamiliar applications.

Our MatterPoint solution offers a new alternative: one that offloads the burden of storing matter-related reference material from internal resources, without forcing your organization to absorb the associated costs.

At the core of MatterPoint is a small server drive that provides transparent, secure access across your firm’s LAN to a private data vault residing at an Aquipt data center. Users can retrieve any case-related information hosted in this location by simply pointing applications to the files they wish to reference – without adopting any unfamiliar interfaces or operating environments. As such, the solution acts as a dedicated appliance that efficiently and seamlessly serves the entire firm.

The solution scales on demand and easily conforms to current and future environments, enabling both local and remote users to continue working with familiar applications. In addition, MatterPoint integrates with your existing administrative policies, functions behind your firewall and leverages industry-standard encryption, helping you enhance the security of sensitive information.

Rather than charging a single, flat rate, MatterPoint is anchored by a use-based, per-GB pricing scheme that simplifies the process of allocating financial resources to a particular matter. This model also offers flexible rates for inactive data, giving you a cost-effective method for keeping data available to authorized personnel even after a case has closed.

MatterPoint enables you to improve information accessibility and retain control of case data, applications and user experience without taxing internal computing or storage capacity. As such, the solution reduces matter-related storage costs by as much as 50 percent, helping you conserve internal capital and enable in-house resources to drive revenue. And unlike conventional hosting options, MatterPoint facilitates client charge back by enabling you to monitor storage in real time and quantify and justify IT costs as operational expenditures related to a specific case.
