Accurately Reduce the Data
Advanced content analysis and full indexing assures the highest level of accuracy in initial culling and deduplication
Accessing data archives and other repositories through our standard connectors MetaLINCS Processing imports your data and then reduces the data set size through deduplication, and highly accurate and customizable culling criteria. After culling, the data set it is typically minimized by as much as 80%. The data is then exported and loaded into your review tool of choice or the data can be hosted for advanced anaslyis, review and production.
Processing with MetaLINCS technology offers many advantages:

Efficiency. With our preconfigured and fully tested First Pass Processing appliance you can be up and running within 30 minutes.

Flexibility. We fit into your business needs. Use First Pass Processing as a preconfigured and tested appliance or as a managed service hosted by us or one of our preferred partners. Better analysis means greater ability to cull, deduplicate and organize, so you have the absolute minimum amount—but all of the relevant data—for review

Data culled by keywords remains in the system and is available for later retrieval if the Keyword list changes, no need to reprocess the full dataset.

MetaLINCS superior analysis features allow early case assessment to begin during the initial processing phase.

A complete record of metadata variations is preserved

There is support for more than 300 native document and email file formats.

You can process across all languages with specific linguistic support for the most common European and Asian languages.

With the option to upgrade to MetaLINCS review and production you do not need to move the data to another system, no risk of data corruption or delay

MetaLINCS solutions give you an assured chain of custody.

A full complement of reports, including reviewer productivity, privilege log and export reports
Analysis-Powered Processing Is Different
Once data is gathered, the MetaLINCS Processing Module builds a rich index of the information, while eliminating all duplicate content. MetaLINCS Processing processes ALL of the text of the documents and messages and then automatically categorizes similar files by concept or keywords. The index then stands ready to help reviewers create critical timelines and, determine intent and identify additional custodians by building message threads. These advantages are used during the processing phase for early case assessment and are invaluable later for those who continue with the MetaLINCS solutions to the review and production phases.
Setting up a processing operation takes only minutes. Culling, deduplication, logging, analytic index construction, topical clustering and review folder organization are all accomplished in a single integrated and automated step.
