Comprehensive Data Processing capabilities are designed to facilitate a streamlined review by targeting the data relevant to your case, while simultaneously reducing the overall size, as well as costs.

Cyforce’s Data Processing service is designed for law firms and corporations requiring rapid and accurate processing of unstructured data to cull and de-duplicate with complete metadata extraction. Partnering with best-of-breed technology providers, we have the advanced tools and best practices to process the most complex of data sets. Our data processing service is fully supported by experienced and technology certified eDiscovery project managers who provide consultancy from our secure headquarters or on-premise at your client’s facilities.

The primary goal of our data processing service is to:

• Determine, at an item-level, exactly what data is contained in each data set;
• Maintain and record all document-level and system-level metadata as it existed prior to processing;
• Enable defensible reduction of data by selecting only appropriate items to move forward to review.

De-duplication is the most effective part of data processing as it removes any duplicate information. This reduces the number of documents for review, preventing document reviewers from having to look at the same document more than once and saving time. These multiple options are discussed with you prior to us carrying out any processing on your case. Our eDiscovery specialists collaborate with you as a natural extension to you and your teams to identify what the best duplication option is on a case by case basis.

• Custodial De-Duplication: This option removes duplicate documents; however, it will keep one instance of a document within each person’s dataset.
• Global De-Duplication: Global de-duplication analyses the entire dataset, keeping only one instance of a duplicate document.
• Data De-Duplication: De-duplication is the most effective part of data processing as it removes any duplicate information.

Cyforce provides keyword consultancy as a standard practice within our eDiscovery service. Our expert analysts review the proposed keywords from a technical perspective to ensure that our advanced review platforms will accept them as relevant. This is important from a usage point of view, to establish their effectiveness, relevance and appropriateness. Applying these criteria will also ensure that this responsive data derived from the keywords is proportionate to the entire data set inputted into our review platforms.

The processing technology is securely integrated into the Relativity online review platform, allowing Cyforce to process, analyse, and review your data within a single platform. Relativity processing allows us to process native files and quickly prepare them for review. Full metadata and container extraction, domain parsing, and native application imaging combine to provide a complete processing solution. This provides concise access to the facts you require for each processed data set, such as metrics on the original data source and the documents which were published to review. Data can be triaged and filters applied, including date range, sender domain, and file type to eliminate unnecessary raw data from the eDiscovery process. Relativity Processing allows us to ingest raw data directly into your workspace for eventual search, review, and production.
