Discovery Consulting
A thorough discovery management program is a critical aspect of your organization's litigation and risk management efforts, whether you’re preparing for an active case or looking toward the possibility of future litigation.
Our Discovery Consultants can help you clarify your goals, identify key data sources and custodians, and create a solid, defensible discovery management plan. We’re broadly staffed, with decades of experience in the corporate legal and law firm environments, and our service-oriented technology, data and project management teams are an excellent resource throughout the discovery life cycle.
Early Data Assessment
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, and is a critical step in the discovery process because it allows Counsel to develop a thorough understanding of the collected data before important processing decisions are made.
Altep can help you use Early Data Assessment to 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.
Computer Forensics
Altep’s forensics experts have a unique blend of experience and skill in the areas of information security, investigative techniques, forensic data analysis, jurisprudence and litigation support. This combination provides a well-rounded perspective on the requirements and limitations surrounding computer forensics and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Using the industry gold-standard EnCase, our certified examiners can quickly and safely collect and analyze data to investigate patterns of activity for preserving electronic evidence or conducting internal investigations.

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.
