Applied Discovery Products & Services
Applied Discovery offers a complete e-discovery solution for the nation's top corporations and law firms—from collection to production—with support from dedicated project managers every step of the way.
Dedicated Project Management
Our Client Solutions Group is comprised of project managers located in cities including
New York ,
Chicago ,
Washington , D.C.,
Los Angeles , and
Seattle . At the initiation of every project, your project manager will work with you to determine the specifications and protocols that best serve your project needs, and will provide ongoing support throughout the full life of your project. You have direct contact information for your project manager and for backup project managers in other time zones to give you the most expansive standard “office hours.”
Data Collection/Forensics
Applied Discovery offers a complete Data Collection and Forensics Team, with our experienced data collection and forensics engineers distributed throughout the country. Applied Discovery is
Safe
Harbor certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce based on standards it developed in consultation with the European Commission. We can efficiently collect data from virtually any location worldwide and perform any forensic analysis your projects might require.
Data Reduction/Filtering
The Applied Discovery data reduction processes save clients time and money by helping them process only the data that is responsive to their specifications. We are able to cull out common system files up front, and by utilizing indexing technology by FAST (a Microsoft® subsidiary) Applied Discovery can provide robust and flexible filtering using terms, phrases, dates, Boolean strings, and selected filetypes or custodians. Project managers help clients finalize filtering requirements using detailed pre-processing “hit reports.”
Data Processing
Applied Discovery uses proprietary processing technology to extract and preserve metadata and process documents using high-capacity grid architecture that translates to industry-leading timeframes and unmatched scalability. We process all documents to PDFs, which offer reviewers a number of benefits, including:
-
The ability to perform privilege review with redactions
-
Smaller file sizes which allow for fast document-to-document movement
-
Full color images, with the same formatting and “look and feel” as the native documents
-
In-document searchability equivalent to the original electronic document
-
Petrified, “locked down” versions of data
-
Bates numbering for production
Applied Discovery also cross links the native files, so that reviewers can examine native file documents when they choose.
Online Review
We designed our award-winning Online Review Application (“ORA”) from the ground up to be intuitive and facilitate efficient, powerful review. Its “point-and-click” functionality enables even the least technical reviewer to become an electronic discovery pro with less than an hour of training. The ORA builds in functionality to support virtually all your review needs, including the ability to search, review (including metadata), tag/code, annotate, redact, Bates number, and even batch-produce/print documents.
In addition to allowing review of PDFs and the natives of documents, as described above, the ORA’s advanced functionality includes:
Repository Services
Our groundbreaking repository architecture allows our clients to maintain large document sets in a central repository while parsing out relevant subsets to front end databases for review, leveraging prior work product or privilege tagging as needed.
Clients can re-use data in additional matters without the need to reprocess it—thereby saving substantial time and money. Our repository functionality is a perfect solution for clients with multi-district and serial litigation, large defense group collaboration (sharing only the work product you choose), and regulatory matters that evolve into deeper inquiries and/or civil litigation.
Flexible Document Production
Clients can re-use data in additional matters without the need to reprocess it—thereby saving substantial time and money. Our repository functionality is a perfect solution for clients with multi-district and serial litigation, large defense group collaboration (sharing only the work product you choose), and regulatory matters that evolve into deeper inquiries and/or civil litigation.
Flexible Document Production
Applied Discovery gives clients flexible production capabilities that are able to meet the diverse requests of courts, opposing counsel, and government agencies. Clients can batch print or download to PDF directly from our review tool (including Bates numbers, branding, and slip sheets), or Applied Discovery can create production sets for clients in PDF, TIFF, or native formats (or a combination of these)—including loadfiles/metadata for virtually any litigation database program.
