Sensei Enterprises provides a full range of leading edge solutions and techniques to eliminate irrelevant documents in a dataset and dramatically save your clients money on processing and review fees.
The volume of data collected in discovery continues to grow at an exponential pace. The latest figures put the total amount of electronic data at 800,000 petabytes, soon expected to reach a zettabye, which is nearly half a million times all of the data in all U.S. academic libraries.
The Library of Congress’ printed collection consists of a “mere” 10 terabytes of data. This trend is putting pressure on law firms and corporate counsel to find ways to reduce e-discovery costs. Litigation was always costly, but now can be cost prohibitive unless the dataset can be reduced to a manageable size before reviewing documents for responsiveness and privilege.
EARLY DATA ASSESSMENT
Sensei offers early data assessment technology options to our clients, significantly streamlining the review process and enabling clients to better manage their own document searches.
This process decreases the number of documents that need to be reviewed and reduces the volume of data that must be fully processed, thereby allowing for cost containment and predictable budgeting. This is especially helpful in larger legal matters, given that the review stage accounts for nearly 60% of the total e-discovery project cost.
CULLING METHODS
Proper de-duplication and filtering technologies can dramatically save time and costs associated with electronic discovery. By deleting all duplicate documents and e-mails, you can reduce your dataset thereby permitting a more manageable review process. After de-duplication, further culling techniques can be applied to filter metadata properties such as a document’s creation date or particular file-type restrictions. Critical to many cases, complex search queries can be derived to group and identify targeted information.
DATA PROCESSING
Once data culling has been completed, you need a partner that can quickly and accurately process an electronic data set into a reviewable form. Sensei Enterprises has the capability, technology and expertise to process your data in an efficient, expedient and cost-effective manner, while ensuring that the techniques and processes used are transparent and defensible.
Sensei Enterprises leverages the latest technology and its team of experts to process virtually any requirement, media format, or file type.
