  • Comprehensive Data Handling

    Our data processing services cover the entire spectrum of data handling needs, including:

    • Discovery and Catalog – The process of identifying, locating, and collecting electronically stored information (ESI) relevant to a legal matter. Cataloging involves organizing and documenting the collected data to ensure comprehensive tracking and management.
    • Index – The creation of a searchable database of the contents and metadata of collected documents. Indexing enables efficient search and retrieval of relevant information during the review process.
    • De-NIST – The removal of known, non-relevant files from a data set using a list provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This process eliminates system files and other commonly found, irrelevant data, streamlining the dataset for review.
    • De-Duplicate – The process of identifying and removing duplicate files from a dataset to ensure that each document is reviewed only once. This helps reduce the volume of data and improves review efficiency.
    • Search – The application of keywords, phrases, and search queries to identify relevant documents within a dataset. This process helps narrow the data to those items that are most pertinent to the legal matter.
    • Cull/Filter – The process of reducing the volume of data by applying filters and criteria to exclude irrelevant or non-responsive documents. Culling helps focus the review on the most important information.
    • Full (Native + TIFF) Processing – The comprehensive processing of data, including converting documents to their native formats as well as creating TIFF images for each document. This ensures that all data is available in both its original format and a standardized image format for review and production.
    • Production – The preparation and delivery of documents in a specified format for use in legal proceedings. This includes organizing, formatting, and ensuring compliance with court or opposing counsel requirements.
    • File Type Inclusion – The selection and processing of specific file types relevant to the case, ensuring that all necessary document formats are included in the review. This might include emails, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other document types.
    • Native Processing – The handling and processing of documents in their original file formats, preserving their inherent properties and metadata. Native processing allows for a more accurate and complete review of electronic documents.
