Making Magic
Merlin combines the power of AI, cloud computing and our own digital magic to make search smarter, review faster and discovery more affordable.
- Merlin Integrated Search: A revolutionary, search and review platform that integrates keyword and algorithmic search to help you find information quickly and easily, without having to master complex search syntax.
- Merlin Comply: A customizable, automated workflow platform to help you meet regulatory obligations, efficiently and effectively, while eliminating costly mistakes.
We’ve been at it for more than two decades, designing and hosting search and review workflow systems for many of the largest organizations in the world. Our mission is to reinvent search and deliver the next generation of investigation, ediscovery and compliance software.
We're back
The team that pioneered ediscovery in the ‘90s and multi-language search in the 2000s is back. Our goal is to bring you the most advanced search, review and discovery platform on the market and deliver it securely via the cloud.
With better software
We rebuilt our software from scratch, scrapping legacy code in favor of the latest AI, search and cloud native technologies. We can deliver speed, simplicity and AI-powered search from anywhere in the world.
At unbelievable prices
Our systems take full advantage of the cloud’s unique delivery capabilities. With True Cloud Pricing you can use Merlin software on your terms, paying by the day, week, month or longer, at downright unbelievable prices.
Making Search Smart
Introducing Sherlock
Meet Sherlock, the world’s first AI-powered digital bloodhound. Sherlock analyzes documents you have already seen and then finds other relevant ones to further your investigation. It works like Pandora Internet Radio, only when you click “thumbs up,” Sherlock fetches great documents rather than great music.
Sherlock eliminates the need to craft complicated keyword searches. Instead, it uses a smart algorithm to fetch relevant documents faster, more easily, and at lower cost than traditional keyword search. Best of all, you don’t have to be a computer wizard to use it.
Just say: “Go get ’em, Sherlock!”

Making Discovery Affordable
True Cloud Pricing
Our cloud-native architecture allows us to offer you a range of pricing options to fit your needs and your budget. Pay for our systems by the day, week or month. Or, secure deeper discounts by reserving resources for a year or longer, moving cases on or off the platform as needs dictate.
Depending on platform configuration and needs, you can elect to pay for your site by the day, the week or as many days as you need to get the job done. Pay for what you need, when you need it.
Choose the traditional model with most services included in a fixed monthly price. If your matter settles you can shut down your site and stop the billing at the end of the month.
Enjoy discounts for extended engagements. When you have continuing matters, take the resources you need for a year or even three and save. It’s like owning but without the headaches.
Turn off your site to lower operating costs until you need it again. With an extended contract, you can move cases on or off the platform as you need them.
We can deploy your site anywhere in the world at reasonable prices. This allows you to comply with local data protection and privacy laws, keeping data from each region in each region.
Our disaster recovery options fit your needs and budget. Back up across regions and preserve images for rapid deployment at secondary data centers.
