E-Discovery Processing

The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform intelligently filters and processes case datasets in hours instead of days - even with cases containing millions of documents. As a result, customers analyze relevant case data sooner and gain insight into case facts almost immediately. Key processing capabilities of the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform include:

Advanced Pre-Processing Filters

Enable users to interactively filter data by custodian, date, strong file type, and file size prior to processing. Clearwell also provides one-click filtering of custom file and "NIST List" items. This filtering significantly reduces downstream processing and review costs.

Pre-Processing Analytics

Visually summarizes overall document set characteristics and presents detailed analysis by custodian, timeline, and file type. This rapidly confirms all case data has been collected and allows for accurate estimation of e-discovery budgets and timelines.

Rapid Processing

Utilizes a new high-performance architecture to process and analyze documents at rates of up to 1 TB per day. Additional appliances can be utilized to meet any scalability requirement.

Robust File Support

Processes and analyzes over 400 different file types from data stores and network file shares including Microsoft Office® and PDF documents, various email formats such as PST, NSF, MBOX, OST, and EMLX, attachments, contacts, calendar items, compressed files, encrypted files, TIFF/text pairs, and Guidance Software® LEF and EO1 files. Images containing text are translated to searchable documents with integrated optical character recognition (OCR) and over 40 types of hidden content are identified.

Intelligent De-Duplication

Automatically de-duplicates data across multiple data stores and across the entire data set (versus just custodians) to reduce analysis and review workload. However, every reference to every document is tracked, preserved, and available for export by custodian. Users can "re-dupe" by custodian for export to outside or opposing counsel.

Multi-Language Support

Provides full Unicode compliance and supports English, Western European, Eastern European, Cyrillic and Asian Languages. Clearwell also enables automatic language identification of documents and provides exact document counts by language type across the entire data set.
