Henderson, NV, July 13, 2016
iCONECT today announced a multimillion-dollar agreement with FMMC Private Yield Fund (FMMC), a private investment fund managed by Fraser Mackenzie Merchant Capital. This agreement will support the ongoing development of iCONECT’s flagship XERA document review platform and its continued expansion in the legal eDiscovery field, as well as its entrance into Healthcare and Finance industries. The funds will allow the company to raise their level of innovation and decrease their time to market by investing significantly in their people, their technology, and their worldwide community of users. iCONECT will remain privately owned and independent, and Ian Campbell will continue his role as President & CEO of the company.
iCONECT’s XERA document review platform is already a key component of document review workflows for some of the world’s largest legal cases. The FMMC funding will assist with further expansion of iCONECT’s already extensive network of worldwide eDiscovery hosting providers. Similar to its recent partnership in Healthcare, the company continues to pursue alliances with firms entrenched in Oil & Gas, Forensics and Finance verticals.
“We believe that the FMMC approach is key to our future growth and will allow us to continue to understand, anticipate and simplify solutions for our clients,” said Ian Campbell, President and CEO of iCONECT. “We’re pleased to work with FMMC and are excited by the possibilities of what can be accomplished in the near future.”
iCONECT’s software platform is touted for its intuitive user experience, and its ability to manage complex document review workflows, which consist of billions of documents, for multi-party, web-based user access. As a technology that can be deployed in-house (behind the firewall), in a private cloud, or through iCONECT’s network of 68 worldwide service providers, leading global law firms rely on iCONECT technology to manage, capture and review documents in situations where reviewers are spread out across the country or around the world.
“We are delighted to support such a strong management team in what is clearly an inflexion point in the industry,” says Don Bent, Partner at FMMC who manages capital for an esteemed group of investors. “Our diligence process, which involved the work of noted experts in the field of legal eDiscovery, provided us with further validation of the potential of iCONECT going forward. With proven technology and a strong market brand, we’re excited about being involved in leveraging the XERA platform into new opportunities through our network of contacts across diverse industry sectors.”
