Case Study: Mazars achieves secure, scalable, cost-effective forensic investigations with Exterro FTK Central

Secure, Scalable, and Cost-Effective Investigations at Mazars

Mazars is a global audit, accounting and financial advisory firm headquartered in Paris with a large forensic investigations practice that supports clients on fraud, corruption, tax and regulatory matters. The team faced exploding volumes of structured and unstructured data (emails, contracts, ERP extracts) and found manual review unsustainable, costly and slow—while also needing a secure, on‑premises solution that could support remote, non‑expert reviewers across multiple countries.

Mazars implemented Exterro FTK Central on servers hosted in their Paris office, configured for strong security and easy remote access, and trained internal eDiscovery referents to onboard reviewers quickly. The web‑based platform improved search and filtering of unstructured data, enabled cross‑border collaboration without compromising confidentiality, and significantly reduced investigation time and costs by replacing lengthy manual reviews with a scalable, user‑friendly workflow.
