Cost Management and Methodology

RenewData's proven cost-management methodology of electronic discovery allows fast and accurate responses to client's needs while controlling costs. An extensive legal and technology background has enabled RenewData to create a methodology that is the most expedient and cost-effective in the industry.

The key to the methodology is the proper architecture and predictability of the methods for extraction, collection, de-duplication, filtering and searching data for responsive email and user files.

• RenewData's use of file listings reduces the amount of collection media to a narrower subset of relevant tapes.
• RenewData's non-native environment technology avoids the additional steps necessary with more traditional data recovery methods, which can require software licensing and hardware specific to the original equipment and environment. These additional steps and requirements can significantly increase the time and cost involved, in addition to increasing exposure to risks of lost or damaged data.
• RenewData's production costs are controlled and minimized because the billing units, such as number of tapes, gigabytes of data or PST files, are highly predictable.
• RenewData's ActiveVault de-duplicates extracted data prior to the more traditional and expensive TIFF or paper generation process, reducing evidence production time and costs.
• Reduction of responsive documents for outside counsel review by culling native file data with keyword search methodology and proprietary de-duplication technology.
• RenewData's ActiveVault Preservation Manager maintains files securely, using single-instance storage, thus making subsequent productions from the data highly efficient and less costly.
And moving forward, additional data can easily be added, while preserving the integrity of the previously extracted data.
• Using a unique keyword identification methodology, RenewData experts will help identify strategic options based on your specific case and how RenewData's proprietary technology works.
This highly accurate method will limit the amount of responsive or relevant data, thus saving review time and costs. RenewData's highly scalable method effectively reduces the amount of time to extract the data, reduces the amount of data available for review through de-duplication, outputs only the content required and efficiently stores the final data, when necessary, for future litigation and discovery request needs.
