Corporate Overview
DataDiscovery was founded in the fall of 2006 on the ideals that the customer should have what the customer needs and that the most cutting edge technologies should be in use today. With over 30 years combined experience, founders Mark Hamilton and Scot Sessions are committed to searching out and delivering these latest technologies so today's examiner will have a chance to stay ahead of their growing work load. "There is a huge need for applications that will do more in the same or less time as the tools currently available" said Scot Sessions President/CEO of DataDiscovery. The use of digital devices such as the PC, cellular telephone, PDA and flash drive is growing at exponential rates. As the use of these devices grows so do the crimes committed with them.Scot and Mark see needs that beg to be filled in the e-discovery & digital forensic industry. Their objective is to deliver products and services that truly provide today's examiners with the products to perform their tasks. "These are individuals who are passionate about what they do," said Mark Hamilton, Vice President/CTO of DataDiscovery, "their desire is to find pertinent data as quickly as possible, they need applications that will allow them to do this".
Users should expect nothing less than the best applications to find critical data in support of any given task. Whether the user is searching a digital device for illegal photographs, terrorist information or insider-trading our products allow them to perform critical tasks in a user friendly environment with less than expert level experience.
More and more data is being created daily, most of which is non-threatening; however, the amount that is threatening is ever increasing. The need for more examiners grows every year. These examiners must be able to hit the ground running with a minimal learning curve. We also understand the need for applications to perform tasks quickly. As time becomes a critical factor for most tasks, our products will help the user to balance current and future work loads and allow them to achieve much more in less or the same amount of time using the most advanced technology today.
