Data Processing and Hosting: Every project is different and comes with its own needs and requirements. With the most experience in the industry, Epiq Project Managers guide our clients through every processing step. Making the correct decisions at the onset largely contributes to the downstream success of a project, including processing settings, general filtering criteria, and nuances related to each data set. By working with Epiq Project Managers, clients know they are getting the advice and information needed to keep their projects on the proper course. Processing begins with extraction of item-level records from compressed formats such as email archives, zip files, and forensic images. Our proprietary processing platforms can handle 450+ different files types, including email, business application files, instant messages, chat, wikis, Microsoft Office, audio, video, and drawing/CAD. Project managers (PMs) work with clients to ensure their processing specifications are set properly, including associating data sets with their custodians to ensure proper tracking of the data, time zone to normalization, handling of password protected items, deduplication settings and any special requirements. Each item’s metadata (e.g. date created, sender, subject) is indexed and can then be utilized for culling, or reducing the population of records. Examples of culling executed during the processing phase can include date filters, file type exclusion, and deduplication. Epiq employs standard operating procedures (SOPs) that have been successfully tested and vetted for defensibility and accuracy to help guide our clients through this stage. During the processing phase, Epiq’s proprietary technology can perform language recognition and translation, including CJK language data. Epiq’s service delivery teams work closely together to plan for, provide, and adhere to detailed timing estimates so clients can plan accordingly. PMs provide outcome reporting at each processing phase for transparency, validation, and further planning purposes. Clients have dashboard-driven access to a holistic picture of data flow, including the stage in which the data resides, where each data source has been, the data and custodians included in the current data set, data size and document count. The dashboard is review platform agnostic, providing review and production metrics. For smaller data volumes that meet certain criteria, Epiq is able to utilize an “Express” service offering to process and load data into the hosting platform on an expedited basis. Hosting is powered by global data centers and backed by round-the-clock, state-of-the-art security. Epiq has data centers in 12 different countries, ensuring compliance with cross-border data requirements.
