Cumulus Data, Inc., developer of the ESI (electronically stored information) collection tool, eCloudCollect, recently announced its partnership with Global EDD Group, an international eDiscovery services provider with clients throughout Europe, Asia and North America, to facilitate eCloudCollect services in Singapore and other locations across the globe. eCloudCollect will introduce the market to a new way of collecting ESI that adheres to local privacy laws and enables cost-effective international collection services.

Singapore is one of the top ten financial centers in the world and Global EDD Group, with support from sister company, Litigation Edge, is a leading provider of eDiscovery services in the region. High-profile intercontinental business makes this Southeast Asian city-state a hub for cross-border arbitration and litigation matters. eCloudCollect’s SaaS model offers attractive benefits, such as providing local cloud-based repositories for data preservation, assurance that client data remains in the jurisdiction in which it is legally bound and low-cost remote collection capabilities.

“Asia’s eDiscovery market—particularly in Singapore—is growing quickly. Within the last six months, many U.S. law firms have opened offices here,” said Global EDD Group’s President and Founder, Brad Mixner. “Many firms in Singapore often experience challenges with cross-border investigations and discovery due to concerns with privacy regulations and a lack of local resources—eCloudCollect will help ease some of these problems and bridge the gap between the continents.”

Mixner is a frequent speaker on the subject and has spoken at international conferences, including on “Electronic Discovery Law Practice in Singapore, U.K. and U.S.” at the 2011 International Conference on Electronic Litigation.

“We are very excited to partner with Global EDD Group and enable the introduction of remote ESI data collection services to Asia,” said Greg Estes, CEO of Cumulus Data. “Global EDD Group has the experience, leadership and technology strengths that we look for in our partners.”
