EDT

What EDT does

EDT is a privately held enterprise SaaS provider, founded in 2002 in Brisbane, Australia by Jo Sherman, that delivers an integrated evidence and case management platform for government regulators and justice agencies. The company serves law enforcement, prosecutors, regulators, courts, tribunals, and litigation teams across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with approximately 190 employees distributed across offices in Brisbane, New York, Montréal, and London. EDT has grown organically over more than two decades without venture capital funding and maintains a deliberately low public profile to respect the confidential nature of its justice-sector engagements.

The platform is architected around four interlocking layers — Engines (workflow, reports, task, activity log, object model, API), AI Services (Continuous Active Learning, transcription in 80+ languages, translation in 75+ languages, image recognition, summarization), Components (evidence import, PII detection, auto-redaction, chronologies, analytics, document review, export), and Portals (exhibit management, inter-agency sharing, incident reporting, intake, disclosure) — and is hosted on AWS with an optional dedicated single-tenancy deployment available in over 40 countries to satisfy data sovereignty requirements. Its proprietary Continuous Active Learning (CAL) technology iteratively trains on human reviewer coding decisions to prioritize responsive evidence, with published benchmarks showing roughly 40 review batches versus 78 for linear review at 50% prevalence and a first post-training batch above 95% relevance.

EDT generates revenue through monthly or annual SaaS subscriptions priced on a per-engagement basis, with dedicated single-tenancy deployments available as a premium compliance-sensitive option. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, supported by a Project Management Centre of Excellence for large-scale deployments and EDT Academy for client training and enablement. New business is primarily driven by word-of-mouth referrals from long-term government clients rather than outbound prospecting, and the company has secured IRAP assessment at PROTECTED controls (April 2025), ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliance as prerequisites for government justice procurement.

Core offering

EDT provides an enterprise SaaS platform that supports the entire case management and digital evidence lifecycle for regulatory and law enforcement investigations, integrating case management, trial preparation, and electronic hearing features with traditional eDiscovery work practices such as data processing, analytics, review, and production. The platform is built from configurable engines, AI services, components, and portals that clients or EDT business analysts tailor to specific justice workflows, deployed on AWS in client-selected regions worldwide.

Product overview

EDT offers an integrated SaaS evidence and case management platform for the justice sector, combining multiple interconnected modules: the Engines suite (workflow, reports, work product, task, activity log, object model, and API), AI Services (transcription, translation, image recognition, summarisation, and Continuous Active Learning), Components (evidence import, PII detection, redaction, chronologies, analytics, document review, export, and presentation), and Portals (exhibit management, inter-agency sharing, incident reporting, intake, and disclosure). The platform supports five sector-specific solutions: eDiscovery for litigation, Law Enforcement, Investigations, Hearings, and Prosecutions. It is deployed on AWS with dedicated single-tenancy option and is complemented by EDT Academy training and Implementation Management services.

Others

• Consilio: End-to-end eDiscovery, document review, and legal consulting services provider; competes with EDT's SaaS offering indirectly by offering managed-service alternatives for the same justice-sector and law-firm customers.

Broad incumbents

• LexisNexis (Legal & Professional): Broad legal information and legal-tech incumbent with AI-powered legal research, litigation analytics, and integrated practice tools; competes for the same government and law-firm wallet as EDT but from a much wider product portfolio.
• Thomson Reuters (Legal): Diversified legal-tech incumbent owning CaseLines, Practical Law, and Westlaw; offers the same justice-sector buyers a stack spanning research, drafting, court bundling, and matter management, competing with EDT on integrated workflow.

Emerging players

• Logikcull: Self-service eDiscovery platform with AI-assisted review; targets smaller matters and in-house teams but increasingly competes for government and mid-market litigation that overlaps with EDT's eDiscovery and disclosure capabilities.

• DISCO: Cloud-native eDiscovery platform for law firms and government agencies; competes on AI-driven document review, analytics, and case management - the core EDT value proposition for litigation and investigations.
• Nextpoint: Cloud-based eDiscovery and litigation support platform serving law firms and corporate legal teams; overlaps with EDT on review, production, and case management for litigators.
• CaseLines (Thomson Reuters): Court and tribunal digital evidence bundling platform widely used in Commonwealth jurisdictions; directly competes with EDT's Hearings solution for managing tendered evidence, exhibits, and submissions in court.
• Everlaw: Cloud-native eDiscovery and litigation platform with AI-assisted review and story-building tools that compete with EDT's chronologies, document review, and disclosure workflows for law firms and government legal teams.
• Reveal: eDiscovery and investigations platform with AI-driven review, processing, and case analytics; directly overlaps with EDT's continuous active learning, analytics, and government investigations use cases.
• Relativity: Largest standalone eDiscovery and document review platform; serves law firms, corporations, and government agencies with similar TAR/active-learning capabilities and competes head-to-head with EDT's review and analytics functionality.
