Our integrated E-Discovery platform is designed to deliver accurate and timely productions in a variety of leading formats. Because Sfile EDD is an integrated platform, chain-of-custody is maintained from preservation to production.

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION FORMATS

Sfile produces in native file, TIFF and PDF formats. Produced images can be endorsed with Bates numbering and other branding text. Redacted sections of documents are removed from the extracted text within load files. If a ZIP container has responsive items, either the entire source ZIP file or only the responsive items can be produced. If required, Sfile can reconstitute PST files on production with only the responsive items in their original folder locations. Sfile can also on production break email messages and attachments into individual records items. Sfile supports the most popular load file formats such as Concordance. Sfile also produces load files in XML format, providing flexibility to support a number of other E-Discovery systems.

PRIVILEGE & PRODUCTION LOGS

Sfile can generate customizable privilege and production logs in CSV format. Our standard privilege log format uses metadata information extracted during processing (Files: File Name, Create Date and Last Modified Date. eMail Messages: Sent Date, Sender and recipients), information entered during review (Privilege type) and a brief description of the document that has been entered by a reviewer in the Sfile document abstract form.

Our standard production log contains metadata information extracted during processing (Files: File Name, Create Date and Last Modified Date. eMail Messages: Sent Date, Sender and recipients), Begin/End Bates numbers and the name of the produced file (e.g. SMC00034252.TIF).

ROLLING PRODUCTIONS

In complex matters such as DOJ and SEC investigations, or matters with large volumes of data and tight deadlines, it’s common for parties to perform iterative productions. Sfile’s rolling production support allows our customers to perform a sample production, which can provide for identifying problems or issues early on and remedying them before all data has been processed or produced. It also provides a chance to review data before all production is completed, a useful feature when depositions are approaching. Each rolling production is maintained and available for later access and reuse within the Sfile platform.

PRODUCTION QC

With many E-Discovery systems, the legal team does not have the ability to QC productions before they are shipped to other parties. Once Sfile has performed our own QC, legal teams can review their productions prior to shipment. Productions are also stored within Sfile for later access or reuse.

ePRODUCTIONS & MULTI-PARTY ACCESS

Sfile’s eProduction capability allows multiple parties to review and produce to each other directly within the system. With eProductions, data never leaves the system, allowing immediate access to other parties.
