Case Study: TransCanada achieves 96% reduction in review data and eliminates third-party processing fees with OpenText Axcelerate

OpenText™ Axcelerate™ enables seamless enterprise discovery with streamlined collections, culling and case analysis

TransCanada, a North American energy infrastructure company with about 7,000 employees and some 3,000 data sources, faced complex eDiscovery challenges: transnational, multilingual data across thousands of sources and formats, massive volumes, and high processing and review fees from outside vendors and law firms. These issues led the company to consolidate eDiscovery in-house to gain control and reduce costs.

TransCanada implemented OpenText Axcelerate across the EDRM—streamlining collection, indexing, preservation, review and analytics with connectors to systems like Exchange, SharePoint and FileNet. The solution eliminated third‑party processing fees on day one, cut the volume sent for attorney review by 96%, centralized legacy data while keeping it in‑country, and delivered advanced analytics and machine learning for faster, deeper case insight (for example, culling a 105 GB collection to just over 4 GB).
