In the last twenty years, technology has become a ubiquitous driving force in businesses large and small, and electronic means have become the de facto standard for communication.
Spreadsheets, databases, and other types of electronic files such as e-mails and text messages present unique litigation support challenges. Collecting, organizing, reviewing and producing this information in a manner that complies with the changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure can prove expensive and time-consuming for any company.
In response, countless firms now offer data management services to assist corporations and lawfirms as they prepare for the discovery phase of litigation.
However, few such firms truly understand the rigors of high-volume processing, or the challenges posed by diverse, complex ESI populations. Fewer still possess the technical agility to respond to unusual requirements.
Altep’s expert teams can design and implement customized methods for collection, processing and analysis of even the most complex ESI. We leverage industry-standard processing platforms, such as iPRO eCapture, and integrate 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.
