Electronic Data Discovery (EDD)

EDD is the processing and management of evidentiary documents held in electronic media into a usable sub-set for document review and production. The most common of these documents are emails, word processing documents, spreadsheets and databases, usually part of the Microsoft Office Suite, but not exclusively so. While the Microsoft products are most common, there are a myriad of other email and office based platforms that require equal attention and proficiency in processing. Additionally, proprietary platforms, various audio media and communications platforms must be processed as well.

EDD required solutions range from simple conversion of these documents into single or multi-page images(TIFF, PDF) through to more complex de-duplicated, Boolean or key word searches and concept/context searches. Regardless of complexity, the ultimate objective is to convert the initial data set into a subset that can effectively be reviewed and/or produced by the requesting party consistent with the objectives of the case.

The end product can come in several deliverable forms. It can come converted to TIFF or PDF, or it can be delivered in its native format with the native file hyper-linked to the accompanying database. Almost all deliverables are produced with a database containing the image path and associated meta-data. In many cases a deliverable is loaded into one of many web based review platforms.

The EDD industry is no longer characterized by a few providers with proprietary systems. Indeed, the technology involved has come to be largely accessible. ID has created what it believes to be the optimal integration of its proprietary systems along with the superior systems currently available on the market. ID has integrated these platforms with processing and storage hardware to create an optimal system to deliver substantial capacity and processing power, along with a high quality and consistent product. Additionally, our programmers are able to quickly create custom solutions unique to a particular case.

Finally, and most importantly, our quality control regimen is rigorous, closely monitored and documented.
