Episode Notes

This week, we're joined by Ian Campbell, the President and CEO of iCONECT. We'll cover a variety of issues surrounding iCONECT’s proprietary Xera review application, including its applicability to non-eDiscovery business problems, key issues with Information Governance, and how to overcome transition concerns when considering a change of eDiscovery technology.

Ian has a design background and, prior to founding iCONECT, he worked in advertising and founded his own agency. In 2012 iCONECT launched its flagship review product, Xera, which Ian reported was designed from the ground up for the end users of the product.  He took over as CEO in 2014 and has focused on innovation and growth in other sectors outside of legal.

iCONECT is an eDiscovery technology company founded in 1999.  According to Ian, “it’s really quite simple for us.  You put all the information in one spot, build a big dictionary of every word in every document, and then hand over usernames and passwords to all the people who can access that data.  And so it really becomes multiparty access to confidential information.”  iCONECT can be deployed in several ways, including behind a company’s firewall.
