the skinny

Our goal is to create beauty and innovation in ediscovery software, bringing contemporary web thinking, design, user experience, scalability, functionality, and economic sensibility to the ediscovery world. Oh yes, we are mobile and tablet compatible in a secure, private cloud. We code our litigation support software in clojure.

Market disruption, in price and performance, is our governing philosophy, with all our deliverables embracing a consumer-friendly look, feel, and functionality. We also offer expertly managed ediscovery services and consulting in a smart, professional manner. All of our pricing is transparent. Our Founders are at it again to make even a better way for intelligent lawyering.

why cicayda?

A blue-eyed cicada is that one-in-a-million cicada, genetically unique, emerging from the swarm of millions of cicadas that emerge every 17 years in our Nashville community. They create an extremely loud yet harmonious sound, some might even say "music". Our private cloud-based platform gives intelligent lawyers the best chance of finding that one-in-a-million document in that torrential swarm and loud noise of ediscovery software. At cicayda, we are committed to bringing well-orchestrated software and services to make the noise of ediscovery sound more like a well-played Mozart symphony.
