Discovery Consulting
A thorough discovery management program is a critical aspect of your organization's litigation and risk management efforts, whether you're currently involved in litigation, or you anticipate the threat of litigation in the future.
Our Discovery Consultants can help you clarify your goals, identify data sources and create a defensible and cost-effective discovery management plan. Our leadership team has decades of experience in the corporate legal and law firm environments, and our service-oriented technology, data and project managers are an excellent resource at every stage of the discovery life cycle.
Early Data Assessment
Early Data Assessment is a critical step in the discovery process, because it allows Counsel to develop a thorough understanding the collected data, before important processing decisions are made. The analysis provides immediate insight into the nature and content of the data population, enables informed discovery decisions, and allows Counsel to set filtering and culling rules to reduce the size of the data set before processing.
Early Data Assessment (EDA) provides detailed summary reports of all your files up front, making it an invaluable tool when preparing for your 26(f) Meet and Confer. EDA can help substantially reduce the size of your data population to be sent to the more costly services of processing and review.
Altep's expert consultants can use Early Data Assessment to help attorneys substantially - and safely - reduce the size of the data population that will be processed and reviewed, by providing detailed summary reports of file types, sizes, dates, e-mail attachments, duplicates, folders and media, and much more.
Discovery Processing
Altep provides a complete range of discovery processing services, including scanning, OCR and domestic coding for paper documents; high-volume, efficient processing of ESI; and tape discovery solutions that can drastically reduce your burden of discovery.
Paper
Altep paper discovery services are fully scalable to handle projects of any size. We’re continually developing tools and processes that enable us to respond to your discovery challenges much quicker, more efficiently, and at a lower cost.
Magnetic Media
Altep’s Tape Discovery services unlock the data contained on backup tapes, making individual files and e-mail easily accessible. You can index and search for relevant information from offline tapes and restore only the data you need, saving you significant restoration costs.
Electronically Stored Information
Altep can design and implement customized methods for the collection, processing and analysis of even the most complex ESI by leveraging years of experience and industry-standard technology such as iPRO eCapture, and integrating customized methods to process data efficiently and accurately.
Using our proven process for managing the complexities of ESI, we first filter the collected data via our Early Data Assessment service. Using queries, date ranges, file identification and de-duplication, we quickly identify relevant items and reduce the overall population. Then, we process the remaining files to yield text and metadata. This data can then be reviewed in our preferred platform, Inspicio®, in any one of several document views including native file format, HTML or TIF.
On average, we save our clients nearly half of their expected cost for electronic data discovery, review and production using our proven technologies and processes.
Hosting and Review
Altep offers sophisticated, web-based data hosting services via our custom-developed review platform, Inspicio® - a powerful, scalable and flexible document review platform that offers fully-integrated conceptual analytics to promote a more focused and efficient review, plus powerful workflow management and reporting tools.

We extract all available metadata, and export the complete text to a modern file format like .txt, MS Word .doc, .tif, .pdf or searchable .pdf. Optionally, data can be exported as native files and loaded onto optical media.
