The story

Founded by John H. Jessen in 1987.1

John H. Jessen founded the company as Electronic Evidence Discovery in 1987 to address the need for electronic evidence discovery after a lawyer hired him to examine a home computer. Following its founding, the company was responsible for many industry firsts in the field of electronic discovery, including forensic collection software in 1987 and an online review application in 1994.

In February 2008, the company formed a partnership with IBM to provide process design consulting and corporate litigation readiness services to IBM customers and reactive services for individual outsourced litigations. Daticon EED also developed an eDiscovery process manager for IBM's Electronic Content Management (ECM) platform on top of IBM's Filenet P8 platform.

In June 2008, EED acquired Daticon LLC, a Connecticut-based provider of early case assessment, electronic discovery, consulting and archive services and changed its brand name to Daticon EED.

In 2010, Daticon EED was acquired by Document Technologies, Inc.
