(2/10/10) Flex Discovery Solutions Acquires ImageWorks Digital Document Solutions; Houston Litigation Support Provider

Today Flex Discovery Solutions announces the acquisition of Houston, Texas based ImageWorks Digital Document Solutions (ImageWorks). ImageWorks is a litigation support services provider to leading law firms and corporate counsel, both locally and nationally. The company announced that the acquisition is complete as of today and that ImageWorks will operate as Flex Discovery Solutions.

Flex Discovery Solutions will retain 100% of the current ImageWorks staff, including Stephen T. Silkwood, ImageWorks’ CEO and Co-founder, who will become a Vice President and executive team member. Mr. Silkwood has very deep and successful roots in the document management industry, having started with NightRider in Houston helping to grow that organization into the largest legal copy service in the United States. Following the successful sale of NightRider to IKON Office Solutions, Steve went on to serve many executive roles at IKON before launching ImageWorks, including Chief Operating Office of the Legal Document Services division which grew from $12M to $750M during his tenure.

To accommodate its expansion, Flex Discovery Solutions will now occupy suites 801 and 905 at 723 Main Street in Houston. Clients of ImageWorks will continue to receive the same great service, quality, and support in the areas of business document management and legal document management. The combination of ImageWorks and Flex Discovery Solutions also allows for significantly expanded discovery services including e-discovery processing, early case assessment, hosting, data collection, and document review (onshore and offshore).

Steven T. Silkwood, CEO and Co-founder ImageWorks stated, “We are excited to join Flex Discovery Solutions. We’ve been providing outstanding service to our clients for the past eight years, and our merger will allow us to greatly expand our electronic discovery offerings while positioning us to grow even further beyond the footprint we’ve already established. We’ve found an organization that believes in the same things we do; great customer service, bullet-proof technology offerings, and a commitment to finding the best solutions for our clients. I speak for the entire team when I say that we are thrilled about our future with Flex Discovery Solutions.”

“The addition of ImageWorks advances our vision of becoming a national leader in the e-discovery and information management industry,” said Steven S. McNew, President of Flex Discovery Solutions. “I am thrilled about our new team members as well as our enhanced capabilities/capacities in Houston. Flex Discovery Solutions is a stronger company than before, offering its collective clients increased capacity, additional expertise, and an even stronger team to serve our local and national clients.”
