Native File Processing

Stratify’s innovative technology restores and processes files in their native format, without recourse to TIF conversion, delivering documents to attorneys faster and enabling more efficient review.

No conversion costs

Native document processing results in significant cost savings, faster access to the data, and better insight into documents and embedded metadata. The Stratify Legal Discovery™ service processes documents in over 390 file formats without conversion to TIFF format.

Advanced Document Processing

The Stratify Legal Discovery System can cull the data universe based on file metadata, and can then filter the documents using advanced, proprietary Boolean keyword filtering technology.

Stratify’s advanced metadata processing of the document set powers the entire review:

Automatic Concept Organization. The Stratify Legal Discovery service statistically analyzes terms and phrases both within and across documents. Based on this analysis it identifies clusters of conceptually similar documents and organizes these clusters into a Concept Hierarchy based on their interrelationships. Within the concept hierarchy these groups of similar documents are represented as Concept Folders. Documents and emails are sorted into one or more concept folders based on their meaning.

Smart Issue Folder Organization. In parallel with concept organization the Stratify Legal Discovery service processes documents against the stored queries that define Smart Issue folders and sorts documents and emails that satisfy the criteria into the appropriate folders.

Search Indexing. The Stratify Legal Discovery service develops a full text index of all documents and emails, as well as indexes for all extracted metadata fields. These indexes power the robust search capabilities of the system.

Advanced Email Processing. The Stratify Legal Discovery service takes a unique approach to processing email messages. As with all documents the system extracts and stores key metadata fields such as Sender, Receiver, Subject, Date Sent, etc. In addition, the system builds a complete n-degree map of email relationships between all senders and receivers, and then represents the “Degrees of Separation” between senders, receivers and intermediary correspondents in Email Maps.

Incremental Document Processing

The Stratify Legal Discovery service processes data incrementally in document batches. Incremental document processing gives attorneys the opportunity to pursue early case assessment and enables reviewers to get up and running faster.

As the Stratify Legal Discovery service processes subsequent batches of documents and emails, it identifies new concepts as they occur. New concept folders are inserted at the appropriate contextual location within the concept hierarchy, and documents are sorted into one or more relevant folders based on their meaning. In addition to concept folders, batch processing also auto-populates Smart Issue Folders and Work Folders.

Foreign Language Document Processing

The Stratify Legal Discovery service processes documents in most European languages as well as complex languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. For complex languages such as Chinese and Japanese the system supports multiple character sets such as Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji in Japanese as well as Simplified and Traditional Chinese. More
