History

John H. Jessen founded Daticon EED in 1987 to address the need for electronic evidence discovery after a lawyer hired him to examine a home computer. [1] Following its founding, the company was responsible for many industry firsts in the field of electronic discovery, including forensic collection software in 1987 and an online review application in 1994.

In February 2008, Daticon EED formed a partnership with IBM to provide process design consulting and corporate litigation readiness services to IBM customers and reactive services for individual outsourced litigations. Daticon EED also developed an eDiscovery process manager for IBM's Electronic Content Management (ECM) platform [2] on top of IBM's Filenet P8 platform.

In June 2008, EED acquired [3] Daticon LLC, a Connecticut-based provider of early case assessment, electronic discovery, consulting and archive services and changed its brand name to Daticon EED. [4]

In 2010, Daticon EED was acquired by Document Technologies, Inc. [5]

In software engineering, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that focuses on discrete services instead of a monolithic design. SOA is a good choice for system integration. By consequence, it is also applied in the field of software design where services are provided to the other components by application components, through a communication protocol over a network. A service is a discrete unit of functionality that can be accessed remotely and acted upon and updated independently, such as retrieving a credit card statement online. SOA is also intended to be independent of vendors, products and technologies.
