Despite all the internal changes, the company will continue to operate as Consilio with offices in 11 countries; boutique, midsize and large clients; and 4,000 employees, according to a press release. Of those employees in the newly combined company is Xact founder and CEO Bob Polus, who will now serve as the combined Consilio’s corporate development officer. Polus explained the impetus behind the merger by noting that scaling up is the only way to thrive in the current e-discovery market.
“With consolidation being necessary for our space—scale is a big plus,” he said. “When you accelerate scale, it allows you to increase your ability to invest in your people and your technology, which also enhances our client experience, our infrastructure and geographical footprint.”
