CORE COMPETENCIES
Whether in support of an eDiscovery matter, an investigation, a business analysis, or a records management initiative, Celerity has a depth of expertise in performing the following:
CUSTODIAN INTERVIEWING
Interview custodians of potentially related data and documentation through site visits, telephone calls, and online surveys. Summarize potential data sources, volumes, and cost impacts. Advise on collection strategies. Perform records inventories.
DATA COLLECTION
Gather documentation from geographically dispersed locations and ESI from a variety of sources, including Smartphones and tablets, cloud email and storage, enterprise applications, and social media sites. We offer EnCase® Certified Examiners as needed and always use forensically sound techniques to maintain proper chain of custody and avoid spoliation.
FORENSIC ANALYSIS
Help clients find answers hidden within electronic data that typical processing, analysis and review don’t reveal. Specifically, we assist by finding and restoring lost, hidden or damaged files, analyzing operating system and file artifacts to understand user behavior, including file deletion and anti-forensic activity, providing affidavits and expert testimony, and analyzing other forensic expert reports.
DATA PROCESSING
Process data and documents to extract relevant information and prepare for further analysis and review; efficient litigation support – scanning, image printing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), electronic file processing, records coding, and database development.
DATA ANALYSIS
Provide data culling and technology-assisted review for eDiscovery matters; extract key business data to support or disprove damage claims or assess class certification; run analyses to shape or construct a damage claim; provide expert testimony, if needed.
DOCUMENT REVIEW
Offer two options for document hosting and review. Celerity is a Relativity® Premium Hosting Partner, providing an industry-leading review platform with full administrative support as needed. Oliver is Celerity’s proprietary online document review platform that provides more customized features and workflow. Our team has also managed and supported relevance and privilege reviews in our own review facility or at the client’s location.
TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT
Developing online information collection and management solutions with a mobile device component to help companies better manage ongoing workflow, such as routine data collection in the field, or temporary programs, such as an environmental remediation effort.
