ADVANCED PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS FOR EFFECTIVE EARLY CASE ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive Legal Data Processing and Searching/Culling with No Per-Gig Fees
PROCESSING PROCESSING
The three keys to effective early case assessment are data processing, efficient filtering/searching and reporting, but not all solutions are created equal. Only AD ECA can deliver forensic-level accuracy in processing along with comprehensive filtering, search, and data analysis in multiple formats and languages. AD ECA is available in three best-of-breed point solutions, including ready-to-use appliances, and will continue to be featured in the integrated AD eDiscovery platform.
Automatic Deduplication, De-NISTing and File Categorization % AD ECA is built on industry-standard forensic technology designed to handle complex data sets, categorizing over 100 different criteria and handling encrypted files with ease.
Process Terabytes of Complex Data per Day at a One Time Price % AD ECA leverages true distributed processing for massive processing power with no per-gig fees. Broadest File Support % AD ECA supports 700+ file types and email formats % Built-in OCR capabilities to support search and analysis of image files Multi-Language Support % Full Unicode and Code Page support for the full spectrum of Western European, Eastern European, Cyrillic and Asian languages. ANALYSIS Advanced Email Analysis % AD ECA shows email in chronological threads or conversations, allowing you to review email in context. % Also includes thread suppression, ability to tag items up or down the chain, and hit highlighting in emails and attachments. % Filter email by Date Sent and Received, Address, organized by Sender/ Recipient, and subcategorized by Date, Email Domain, Display Name or Email Address. Filtering % Extensive filters allow you to slice and dice data by custodian, document type, data source, date, keyword, metadata fields and more. Custodian Analytics % Easily filter searches by custodian(s) to determine relationships and monitor communications to gain a clear picture of what transpired. Advanced Keyword Searching % Search options include Boolean, Proximity, Stemming, Related Words, Phonic, Wildcard, Synonym, Concept, Fuzzy (slider dials sensitivity up or down) % Relevancy ranking based on automatic term weighting % Keyword variations panel allows you to select which keyword variations you would like to use. % Search reporting supports complex search strings, unlike other products that break complex terms into several simpler terms.
THE FORENSIC PROCESSING DIFFERENCE
The way the ESI is processed can mean the difference between a case won and sanctions for underproduction. Many newer e-discovery processing modules are not advanced enough to handle complex file types, and it is not uncommon for them to simply skip files they cannot process – sometimes without even logging the error. Thus, an organization has no idea it may be failing to find relevant documents. AccessData’s ECA solution is built on the industry-standard computer forensic technology, Forensic Toolkit® (FTK®), which is used by law enforcement and government agencies throughout the world. Therefore, AD ECA has a time- and battle-tested ability to handle complex files. If it does encounter a file that it is unable to process, the solution reports on that exception, so personnel can revisit and track as needed. In testing, AD ECA reliably processed more relevant results than other solutions - including data sets with the following types of complex data: % % % % % % % %
Non-Windows-based files Corrupt files Deleted files Large files Embedded files Open files and emails New, exotic & unknown formats Files inside of files several levels deep

Near-Native Document Viewer Easy Tagging and Bookmarking
Intuitive Navigation and Dual Monitor Support
REPORTING AND EXPORTING Robust Reporting % File Breakout/Exception Reports: detail processed and encrypted data with metrics per custodian or across matters. % De-duplication Reports % Search Summary details when the search took place, who performed it, and what items were searched per custodian/asset. % Detailed Search Report provides names of files that had hits, how many total hits per file, hit count by categor y, keywords (terms) and search options used, what filters were applied, as well as variations of keywords that were used. TIFF and PDF or Create Industry Standard Load Files % Additionally produce in native format or an AD1 forensic archive, organized by custodian or as a single instance, with options to preserve the original folder structure. % TIFF and PDF on the fly % Load files supported include Summation, Relativity, Concordance, EDRM XML, Ringtail, iCONECT and Introspect.
