Our Approach to eDiscovery

Identify

Our team of experts will assist you in identifying and collecting data and documents to meet discovery demands. This includes:

  • Identification of data sources in your company. Understand IT environment and the data sources exist in the company
  • Detailed data tracking for each of the data sources identified

Collection

PwC discovery team will define a process which will allow traceability of the data collected from the company's systems

All data will be extracted using tools with logging capabilities to assure that no data was lost through extraction. Files will be signed using MD5 hash, to allow data validation and to insure that data was not modified after extraction.

Processing

Securely and efficiently reducing collected data to a manageable set for review.

Using a multi-platform approach, PwC is able to scale and configure each project to unique specifications that the case demands and manage the project in close collaboration with an outside counsel. All actions taken on the data are fully documented, so that questions raised by opposing legal counsel, regulator or courts can be answered.

We maintain a strict chain of custody for all data. The processes we apply are designed to improve outside counsel's review efficiency. Among key applications are:

  • Advanced search capability with concept-based clustering and visualization of data and filtering technologies
  • Near de-duplication based on statistical similarity of documents

Processing Technologies

Nuix is PwC’s primary unstructured data processing engine. Nuix’s indexing engine is an order of magnitude faster than any other technology, and getting faster. The company is rapidly distancing itself from the rest of the field as the best-in-breed solution for eDiscovery processing. Its software delivers simple, raw speed, allowing you to process vast quantities of data and decipher, cull, and produce it in all major litigation formats. With Nuix, we can process more than one terabyte of data per day on a single server, and scale to hundreds of millions of documents. Nuix simplifies and reduces the cost of data collection by processing unstructured data containers directly and intelligently. We can simply collect data from an email server or personal computer and point Nuix software at the individual mailboxes or folders required. Nuix will process just those files, ignoring irrelevant data and reducing the cost and time required to get to the critical information.
