EDISCOVERY PLATFORM ASSESSMENT TOOL

GJ Health Check

Unlock insights. Elevate performance. Act with confidence. Optimize ROI.

GJ Health Check is an eDiscovery assessment tool. And so much more.

It is a microscope to identify system gaps and hidden traps that limit platform performance. It is an independent review that uncovers technology issues and debt. It is a user audit that analyzes workflow and efficiency. It is a set of clear, actionable recommendations based upon professional diagnostics and reviews. And it is a roadmap for both short- and long-term initiatives to boost user satisfaction and bottom lines.

We harness leading technologies, automated diagnostic tools, and fifteen-plus years of best practices to identify and eliminate costly configuration and performance threats before they can compromise the end user experience. The action plans generated by Health Check ensure world class operations, sustainable ROI, and CapEx/OpEx health.

GeorgeJon has a proven history of strategically transforming eDiscovery environments to their intended states and ensuring that they maintain best-in-class performance.
