Case Study: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman achieves standardized, cost-efficient in-house eDiscovery with OpenText Axcelerate

OpenText Axcelerate enables leading law firm to provide a differentiated, efficient eDiscovery process

Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, an AmLaw 100 firm with 700+ lawyers, faced rapidly expanding client data volumes and rising eDiscovery costs that threatened efficiency and security across its litigation practice. The firm needed to modernize and standardize discovery workflows across the EDRM while keeping sensitive data secure and manageable for hundreds of matters that can involve millions of records.

Pillsbury deployed OpenText Axcelerate as a centralized, cloud-based in-house eDiscovery platform, supported by OpenText Professional Services, to process, host, analyze and review data from a single interface. The move standardized discovery across projects, reduced infrastructure and third‑party costs by leveraging a secure AWS-hosted environment, and embedded machine learning and advanced analytics (predictive coding, concept grouping) into every matter—speeding fact-finding, cutting needless review and strengthening the firm’s competitive advantage.
