About Cornerstone Discovery
Cornerstone Discovery provides comprehensive
criminal and civil litigation support by off ering an
all-inclusive solution for strategic consulting and
project management as well as innovative software
solutions for eDiscovery, digital forensics, litigation,
and trial support. Their cloud-based eDiscovery
product, JuntoSM, allows legal professionals to
securely review, search, and organize large amounts
of discovery data.
The Challenge
While building their eDiscovery solution in 2011,
Cornerstone Discovery needed a document viewer.
The team had initially decided to develop their own
viewer, but soon realized that the viewer needed
more functionality than just the ability to display
documents. The company knew that if they wanted
to ensure a positive user experience, they would

need to find a way to resolve file size issues with
pre-conversion and progressive loading as well
as offer additional features such as redaction,
annotation, printing, and more.
“We initially looked at a few viewers. Some were
freeware, which needed a lot of development
time to get up with no promise of success,” said
Jason Silva, Cornerstone Discovery’s Director of
Operations. “Other paid solutions did not have
the flexibility we wanted. We wanted a full viewing
platform with backend conversion and integration
ability without months of development time.”
At the time, Cornerstone Discovery was a PHP
environment, so they needed a PHP solution that
would easily integrate and work on most major
browsers. They also wanted to find a solution
that did not require the user to install something
on their machine in order to use the viewer.
This fit into the company’s core belief that their
eDiscovery solution should be simple for large law
firms with many staff members to use without any
major IT issues.
How Accusoft Helped
Cornerstone Discovery wanted to concentrate
their efforts on building a comprehensive
eDiscovery solution without spending too much
development time on creating a document
viewer. After conducting a cost analysis and
researching the different viewers available, the
team decided to go with Adeptol, an earlier
version of Accusoft’s PrizmDoc, as the near-native
viewer for their eDiscovery web application, Junto
(formerly FlightDeck).

“At that point, we decided it wasn’t worth us spending
months and months of development time trying to
build a viewer. That’s why we ultimately went with
Adeptol (now PrizmDoc). Their packaged product had
already done a lot of the work that we were looking
to do,” Silva said.One of the biggest advantages that
the early PrizmDoc product offered Cornerstone
Discovery was easy integration. The team wanted a
robust document viewer that offered the features
they needed without increased development time.
Integrating PrizmDoc allowed the team to reduce
development time while still offering their customers
important eDiscovery features like redaction.
“[It] was a rather quick solution, a no brainer, that
ended up staying with us due to the flexibility of our
support team and programmers. As PrizmDoc grew,
and it became more stable, document conversions
improved with faster viewing and a more reliable
backend server,” he added. “We now rely on it to serve
millions of pages of documents with Junto users.”
The Result
Cornerstone Discovery continues to use Accusoft’s
PrizmDoc as a near native viewer in Junto. Silva
estimates that integrating Accusoft’s product
into their initial eDiscovery application instead of
developing their own viewer saved the company at
least six to eight months of development time, and
the redaction feature alone saved them about two
to three more months of development. PrizmDoc
has also continued to offer additional functionality
over time while becoming even easier to integrate
with Junto.
“PrizmDoc is a really
polished, high performing
application that integrates
great with us. The new
RESTful redaction and
annotation services are
massive time savers. We
can now fire off many
async batch jobs and just
let the server handle all
converting and redacting.”

“Back then we thought it was a better investment to
go with [Adeptol] and have the continual updates,”
Silva said. “I’m glad we did, because now PrizmDoc
is a really polished, high performing application that
integrates great with [Junto]… With each new version
I can usually get the updated version to production
within a week.”
Over the years, Cornerstone Discovery has grown
with PrizmDoc as the product continues to provide
new features that are vital in the world of eDiscovery.
Unlike other paid and freeware solutions that
the team considered when fi rst launching Junto,
PrizmDoc off ers the fl exibility and ease of integration
that the company needs to off er an eff ective and
easy-to-use eDiscovery platform.
