iControl ESI Launches Advisory Services Group

ADDISON, Texas - Jan. 23, 2017 - PRLog -- iControl ESI (http://www.icontrolesi.com/), a complex eDiscovery software and solutions company founded in 1999, today announced the launch of its Advisory Services Group – iControl Advisory Services (ICAS).

iControl has always had a strong project management team who has worked with our clients to manage their eDiscovery projects through review.  The Advisory Services Group will operate separately from project management group, with the goal of putting our clients back in control of their ESI, and helping organizations with proactive strategy to manage ESI that is the subject of litigation and/or regulatory inquiry.

When asked about this move, VP of Advisory Mark Walker said, "I joined iControl in 2015, not just because of the great advanced technology developed by IControl, but because I share with the iControl family many of the same core values.  I look forward to being a part of growing a talented team of advisors who will work with our clients in the proactive management of eDiscovery utilizing the best technology and processes available. "

iControl ESI Advisors are in the unique position of having access to the most sophisticated machine learning technology on the market – Envize (http://www.icontrolesi.com/predictive-coding/).

Joining Mark Walker as part of the Advisory Services Group Leadership is Susan Ippoliti Kavanagh. "I'm excited to be a part of this Advisory Services team. Spending the last 20 years in the law firm, corporate and vendor sector has given me a 360-degree view of the industry and the diverse struggles that each of those aspects faces.  I'm looking forward to helping our clients by sharing knowledge, expertise and experiences to help drive more cost-efficient and effective solutions for their eDiscovery needs," added Kavanagh.
