Case Study: Nexteer Automotive achieves streamlined, cost-saving e-discovery with Exterro

How Nexteer Automotive Overhauled Its E-Discovery Processes

Nexteer Automotive, a global tier-one steering and driveline supplier with more than 13,000 employees and roughly $3.9B in revenue, was running e-discovery with a very small legal team and largely manual processes. Legal holds were handled by emailed notices and printed acknowledgments, collections and reviews were fragmented or outsourced, IT was burdened, and the company lacked visibility and control — driving high external costs and slow, reactive decision-making.

Nexteer partnered with FTI Technology to access the Exterro Orchestrated E-Discovery platform, implementing automated legal holds, a single data repository, end-to-end workflows, and early case assessment analytics. The change delivered real-time visibility, streamlined collaboration with counsel and vendors, predictable pricing and on-demand e-discovery expertise, and faster, more strategic matter decisions while reducing costs and improving defensibility.
