Deloitte named a Leader in Worldwide Discovery Services by IDC MarketScape

NEW YORK, NY, USA, 25 March 2021—Deloitte has been named a Worldwide Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide eDiscovery Services 2021 Vendor Assessment. The IDC MarketScape recognizes Deloitte as a Leader based on capabilities and strategies such as remote review capabilities, investigation capabilities, cybersecurity, data management and customer service.

According to the IDC MarketScape, “To be included in this IDC MarketScape study, vendors must have at least $100 million in yearly revenue related specifically to eDiscovery services. Vendors must also provide managed review, second request services, and managed software seat services.”

“Deloitte’s eDiscovery services provide clients with flexible, secure, and scalable end-to-end solutions on a shared platform and alliance ecosystem. Deloitte has a network of 1400 professional operating across 150 countries and supported by over 36 delivery centers ready to meet any client need,” says Benny Lee, eDiscovery and Data Management leader, Deloitte Asia Pacific.
