Unique Qualifications
The exponential growth of electronically stored information (ESI) and the amendments to

3. E-Discovery Consulting
Capture Discovery’s services go beyond processing large data sets and hitting production
deadlines. We provide consulting services to law firms and corporate counsel in the early
stages of an investigation or e-discovery, thereby ensuring that clients are discharging
their legal duties, finding and preserving responsive data and managing the process ef-
ficiently and cost-effectively. Our team of experts includes IT professionals, attorneys,
network engineers, computer forensic professionals, search methodology experts, docu-
ment review specialists and 30(b)(6) testifying experts to assist you through all phases
of your matter.
The biggest mistake clients often make is failing to bring in experts early - the result is
often the loss of data and higher costs. The sooner you retain an expert, the better off
you’ll be. Too often, experts are called in when the client is knee deep in quicksand. The
job of the expert is to avoid crises through careful management. Always, the goal is to
reduce the volume of data in order to reduce costs, particularly reviewing costs which
are always the most expensive part of e-discovery.
We offer a wide range of e-discovery consulting services, including the following:
° Information management
° Preservation and Litigation holds
° Meet & Confer strategy
° ESI collection and forensic analysis
° Paper document collection strategy
° Search methodology development
° Early Case Assessment
° Review tool selection and training
° Managing document reviews
° Production formats
4. Data Collection and Computer Forensics
When you receive an electronic discovery request, you need the ability to
identify, preserve, and collect all potentially relevant electronically stored
information (ESI) from all sources in a legally defensible and forensically
sound way. Searching for and recovering existing or deleted data on
computers, servers, CDs, DVDs, cell phones and other data storage devices,
is as much an art as it is a science. Let our highly certified and experienced
computer forensic technologists help.

5. Early Data Assessment and Culling of Irrelevant Data
Capture Discovery provides a full range of leading edge solutions and techniques
to eliminate irrelevant documents in a dataset and dramatically save your clients
money on processing and review fees.
This process dramatically decreases the number of documents that need to be
reviewed and reduces the volume of data that must be fully processed, thereby
allowing for cost containment and predictable budgeting. This is especially
helpful on larger legal matters, given that the review stage accounts for nearly
60% of the total e-discovery project cost.
Large datasets can be ready in seconds, instead of days, giving attorneys and
litigation support staff access to sophisticated document analytics quickly.
Our secure web-based platform, powered by Venio Systems offers:
° Early visibility of the important documents

7. Review
Reducing costs in the review stage is critical because the cost of review is typically
60%-80% of the cost of e-discovery. The balance must be struck carefully -- reduce
costs but make sure that the tools and processes used are in fact retrieving the
responsive and relevant data. You need a partner and a review tool that you can
depend on.
We understand that each case is unique and not every review tool is the right fit.
Instead of a one size fits all approach we offer two review tool options, eView and
Catalyst.
Both review tools are robust, powerful platforms that feature conceptual search,
tiff on the fly, keyword highlighting and full reporting on review metrics. Other
features include the following:
Configurable workflow: permits a flexible approach to reviewer management
workflows and document assignments; A review team can use the traditional liner
review or more complex parallel review styles including simultaneous sequential,
non-sequential or even bi-directional workflows;
Administrative control: provides client administrative control without relying on
Capture with the flexibility to call on Capture for assistance when necessary.
Real-Time reporting: Productivity metrics assist clients with review progress, how
many documents have been reviewed and how many remain, etc. This reporting
functionality is robust and allows for visibility into progress of individuals or teams
or projects.
Speed: Built in native viewer and powerful servers allow for speedier review
Native/Image Review & Redaction: View and redact native/image docs without the
original native application:
Foreign language Support: Foreign language support available with built in Unicode
support the only international standard that supports the vast majority of languages.
Review Management: Prioritize and manage daily workflow tasks and document
distribution to reviewers.
Our Project Managers have managed hundreds of reviews and will support you
every step of the way, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
8. Production

time, every time. Capture provides production including TIFFs, Native files, Online
Electronic Database review files in either TIFF or Native format and hard copy

9. Paper-Based Document Solutions
