Data and document management leader Altep, Inc., offers comprehensive services to businesses faced with complex litigation involving high volumes of electronically stored and paper documentation. Providing customized management plans and strategies, Altep guides clients through the entire process of identifying and collecting information that is potentially relevant to impending litigation; extracting and processing the data so that it can be organized in a secure, searchable web-based document repository; reviewing the information to determine its relevance in the matter; and producing selected materials in compliance with court-issued discovery orders.
To manage the discovery, review and production processes, Altep engages a team of experts with industry-specific training and certifications in a diverse set of technologies. Initial meetings provide the firm’s associates with an understanding of client goals and priorities, which facilitate the development of case and data management strategies. Key elements include collection procedures for both paper documents and electronic files; identification of data sources, such as email servers, file stores, and individual document owners; and culling, filtering and searching techniques that will be used to eliminate irrelevant data and reduce the total population of materials that must be reviewed.
After data collection, rigorously trained professionals scan paper materials, extract the content of electronic files, and perform manual, synthetic, or hybrid coding (as requested by the client) to populate critical data fields. During the hosting and review stage, Altep’s data administration team organizes data in a secure, searchable document repository, and assists with the identification of information that is relevant to the case. Selected relevant documents are then provided to opposing counsel, as required by the court.
Operating all over the United States, Altep has regional offices in Texas, Illinois, Virginia and Arkansas, and maintains strategic and technology partnershipw with variety of other firms including Content Analyst, FastLine Technologies, SuperiorReview, IPRO and Nuix.
