    Sitting with the C-Suite: Ian Campbell, iCONECT

    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. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at leandiscovery@bakerdonelson.com.  We would love to hear from you.

    Sitting with the C-Suite: Bob Rowe, Integreon

    In this episode, we are joined by Bob Rowe, the CEO of Integreon. Bob discusses his background in document review in antitrust litigation in the 1990s, which fueled his desire to drive efficiencies. The conversation moves on to today’s legal marketplace, and how COVID-19 has accelerated change that was already happening. Bob is a must-listen for his perspective on how managed service vendors integrate with outside and inside legal counsel to bring greater value and reduce waste. Bob is a lawyer by training and started his career in Big Law after a clerking for a federal court.  After his ten years of experience in private practice, he founded Nextra Litigation Solutions, which focused on handling document review projects and using metrics to drive better results.  Nextra was sold to Huron Consulting Group in 2006, where Bob spent a decade in leadership before becoming the CEO of Integreon in March 2017. Integreon is a global outsourcing managed services company, which Bob described as primarily, but not exclusively, providing services to law departments and law firms.  Integreon has over 3,000 employees and operates data centers on three continents and in four countries.  Bob noted that Integreon has “one of the broadest portfolios of services in the industry, ranging from document services, presentation graphics, to litigation- and cyber-related activities, and then on over to contract lifecycle management and compliance.” If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at csanko@bakerdonelson.com.
