Case Study: Veolia North America achieves $258K hosting savings and 99.4% reduction in outside-counsel review with Logikcull

How Veolia Handles Terabytes of Discovery Data—In House and With a Team of One

Veolia North America, a leading environmental solutions provider active in 550+ communities, faced a 2015 contract dispute involving 1.49 TB of data — about 5.5 million documents and roughly 31 million pages — that threatened to generate crippling hosting and review costs under a traditional vendor model. Projected hosting alone could have been nearly $298,000 over ten months, and manual outside‑counsel review was estimated in the millions.

By using Logikcull’s per‑matter pricing and built‑in processing (deduplication, culling intelligence, and keyword search), a single in‑house legal lead handled the project end‑to‑end. Hosting expenses were reduced by $258,250, the set sent to outside counsel shrank to 9 GB (14,826 documents / 359,000 pages) — a 99.4% reduction — eliminating over 100,000 review hours and saving millions in review fees.
