In this episode, we are joined by Ian Wilson, the founder and chief executive officer of Servient. A former lawyer turned legal tech entrepreneur, Ian discusses a wide range of topics from the relationship of machine learning and searching, information governance implementation and what’s next on the horizon for Servient.
Ian handled complex commercial litigation in private practice. He founded technology-based company DiscSense in the early 1990s, which was later sold to West Publishing Company in 1998. Ian then went on to found Servient in 2013.
Ian described Servient as “primarily a software company” that “takes you from processing all the way through production” as an “end-to-end solution.” He reported that Servient has ten years of research and development focused on machine learning, which is part of “the fabric of the underlying solution as opposed to just a plug-in.” Servient provides services for various Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, and law firms and has a global presence.
