What TCDI does

TCDI (Technology Concepts & Design, Inc.) is a privately held, Greensboro, North Carolina-based legal technology and services company founded in 1988 that serves corporate legal departments and law firms with end-to-end eDiscovery, litigation management, managed document review, digital forensics, and process-driven AI solutions. Its technology stack spans proprietary platforms—CVSuite for eDiscovery processing, hosting, review, and production; CVUnity Control Center for enterprise legal management; SMART Data as a GenAI-enabled processing workflow that converts unstructured content (CAD drawings, handwritten notes, non-searchable PDFs, foreign language documents) into searchable intelligence—and partner platforms including RelativityOne and Altumatim's altumatimOS. The company also operates the Military Spouse Managed Review (MSMR) program, a differentiated, purpose-driven workforce of attorney-trained reviewers supporting large-volume engagements.

TCDI generates revenue through four primary streams: subscription/SaaS licensing of CVSuite and CVUnity, professional services across the EDRM lifecycle, managed document review (including MSMR teams), and technology platform hosting. Pricing is custom-quoted, enterprise-grade, and structured around multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales augmented by strategic partnerships with Altorney (GenAI document review via MARC) and Altumatim (AI workflow technology), with regional coverage through offices in Greensboro NC, Cleveland OH, Purchase NY, and London UK. Ownership is anchored by founder/CEO Bill Johnson, with Trivest Partners, LP holding a minority growth investment since February 2020 that has funded an add-on acquisition program including Cicayda (December 2020), Aon's eDiscovery practice (July 2022), and JURINNOV (May 2016). The customer base spans AmLaw firms and Fortune-class enterprises across technology, insurance, pharmaceutical, automotive, construction, financial services, and government segments, with validated case-study outcomes including 98% data reduction on a 41M document trade secret remediation, 70,000 multilingual documents reviewed in 70 minutes, and 60% cost reduction on a PII notification project.
