Swift Transportation Company Updates E-Discovery Processes to Better Serve the Entire Organization


Portland, March 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exterro® Inc., the preferred provider of software specifically designed for in-house legal and IT teams at Global 2000 and AmLaw 200 organizations, today announced Swift Transportation Company “Swift” is currently leveraging Exterro software to improve and update their legal and compliance processes.

Swift’s Legal Department centers on a philosophy of constant improvement in order to serve the business as a whole, and they saw the incorporation of technology to automate legal and e-discovery tasks as the logical next step in the evolution of their team. By leveraging Exterro Legal Hold and Exterro Employee Change Monitor, Swift has achieved significant productivity gains without sacrificing defensibility. Rachel Monti, Vice President of Legal Administration & Loss Prevention with Swift, says that the implementation of new legal technology has “fundamentally changed the way work occurs across their legal processes.”



Rachel continued, “As our Legal Department has shifted from a manual process to an automated one supported by technology, we are able to better support our colleagues across the business and bring more value to the organization.”


Prior to implementing Exterro, the Swift legal team found their efforts to help the business advance its goals were diluted with every manual task or inefficient process they maintained. With that in mind, their mission was to orchestrate and optimize department processes with the help of technology, so that valued personnel could then focus on higher priority tasks, and in turn, better serve their colleagues outside of the legal department. Swift not only fulfilled their mission, the legal team feels confident that they can effectively and efficiently manage large volumes of data, track employee movements to prevent spoliation, and protect sensitive information to effectively meet compliance, state, and federal civil procedure standards.

“When organizations like Swift can move from a highly manual and fragmented process to an orchestrated and optimized approach, they can not only deliver more value to their company, but also reduce costs and risk,” said Bill Piwonka, Exterro CMO.
