Case Study: Veolia achieves 99.4% data reduction and slashes hosting costs while handling 1.49 TB in‑house with Reveal

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

Veolia North America faced a contract dispute with records dating back 20 years—1.49 terabytes of data that threatened to blow the discovery budget due to monthly hosting and third‑party review fees. To avoid those costs, Veolia used Reveal’s Logikcull e-discovery platform under a subscription/custom pricing model to allow in-house handling with a legal team of one.

Reveal’s Logikcull automatically processed, de‑duplicated and culled the corpus, then used keyword search, automatic categorization and privilege detection to focus review. The result: production of just 14,826 documents (9 GB, 359,000 pages)—a 99.4% reduction—saving over a quarter‑million dollars in hosting alone, with average production times of 22 minutes, a 60x speed improvement and high user satisfaction.
