“In a market overpopulated by local service bureaus, franchises and monolithic "national" vendors, Ibis rises to the top by consistently and reliably providing excellent service and timely, accurate deliverables at a fair and reasonable cost.  Whether the project has been simple and small or complex and enormous, Ibis has served Kelley Drye & Warren and its clients efficiently and effectively.  Across the full range of services that consultants in this area provide - from forensic and processing work to consultative and educational services - Ibis has earned its place as a leader in our industry." Chris Janak, Practice Support Manager, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP

Ibis's initial success was achieved by the founder and CEO, Jay McNally. As a pioneer in automated analysis of large-scale e-mail and electronic data collections, McNally is widely recognized as an industry expert in electronic discovery. In the early 90s, Jay, an expert in litigation support, artificial intelligence, and software development, pioneered faster, more efficient automated solutions for the emerging field of electronic discovery (The Ibis List of Firsts).

During the course of his career, Jay has managed the discovery process for hundreds of lawsuits and continues to regularly provide insight to clients involved in high profile cases that involve electronic discovery. Jay has published many articles in the legal and business press and delivers several CLE courses on best practices for the collection, analysis, and production of electronic evidence. He recently co-authored "Corporate Governance" with partners from Hughes Hubbard & Reed, LLP and Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman, LLP. This American Lawyer Media book is due out shortly.

McNally was personally sought out to work on the Andersen/Enron case in 2002, and Ibis’s key role in this case has been profiled in The New York Times. In fact, Ibis has been the chosen electronic data collection firm in more than half of the headline-grabbing corporate malfeasance actions of the past several years. Ibis’s nearly fifteen years of experience, spanning more than 1,600 matters, has positioned us in the forefront of the most complex and important legal disputes. Ibis’s solutions continue to shape the electronic discovery marketplace, influencing rules, regulations, and processes for the proper storage and production of electronic data.

Ibis is driven by innovation, and continuously seeks to provide the demanding marketplace with superior custom solutions for the needs of the legal and business community. Our initial business focus was the development of sophisticated data conversion services to help corporations respond to litigation or compliance events.

Ibis's thought leadership is evidenced by its participation as a founding member of The Electronic Discovery Reference Model Project. Ibis was selected as leader of this thirteen member group devoted to developing standards and practices for processing electronic data for discovery.
