Let our experts support your in-house teams through the eDiscovery lifecycle. We help optimize the “document review process” – from Processing through Production.
Eliminate the Obvious: Processing
Processing the “raw” data associated with an eDiscovery project is the first step in minimizing the review burden and can eliminate more irrelevant documents than any other document review task. Knowing this, Questel’s Ascent eDiscovery team takes a consultive approach to processing by working with your in-house team to define, refine, and execute processing strategies that return accurate and comprehensive results.
Ascent eDiscovery processing includes:
- De-NISTing and removal of non-user system files
- Metadata and text are extracted, images are created
- Documents culled using client-specific search terms, date ranges, file types, etc.
- Removal of duplicate documents in accordance with client preferences
- Uploading of processed documents to Questel’s secure review environment
Did you know?
The data processing resources used by Questel’s Ascent eDiscovery team recognizes more than 500 file types. That means Orbit eDiscovery clients can be analyzing and reviewing responsive documents in a fraction of the time required by other processing methods.
By the way –
On average, 72% of all costs associated with complex litigation can be attributed to document review. Questel’s Ascent eDiscovery team helps clients reduce review costs by as much as 91%.
Find What’s Hiding: Visual Search and Early Case Assessment
The Ascent eDiscovery environment includes a powerful document review solution that combines a unique “Visual Search” and powerful Early Case Assessment (ECA) functionality that makes it extremely easy for you to leverage advanced analytics.
This tool allows you and your team to:
- Combine concepts, timelines, and documents using similarity matching
- Gain deeper insight into related data and communication patterns
- More accurately determine dataset strengths and weaknesses
Identify the Relevant: Document Review
Ascent eDiscovery’s document review environment puts search results and documents at the center of attention with a modern intuitive interface. Search results are neatly displayed in a configurable document table along with pre-selected metadata allowing you to assess whether your search criteria captured the sought-after documents. Active Review is part of the Ascent eDiscovery suite of tools.
Active Learning rapidly delivers the most relevant documents into your review queue. By continually learning from current coding decisions, the system learns to identify what matters most
A user-friendly “Document Viewer” displays search results as they would appear in their native application. The advanced features allow you to:
- Gain additional insight
- Quickly tag documents for relevance
- Assign issue codes
- Apply redactions
- Deliver the most relevant results
- Create production sets
Understand How It’s All Related: Analytics and Reporting
Analytics and Reporting are included (at no additional charge) with all Ascent eDiscovery projects, so you can count on our project team to work with you to improve your review efficiency by leveraging other powerful functions like email threading, near-duplicate detection & document comparisons, coding form rules, and mass actions like bulk tagging.
Advanced analytics are used to identify document relationships and expedite the review process.
- Email threading to identify related messages and “most-inclusive” email
- Document families, parent-child relationships
- Near duplicate detection and document comparisons
- Privilege reports, redaction indexes, and other complex reports can be generated in seconds
