Data Collection projects undertaken by teams of corporate, legal and consultant staff often results in large volumes of data that is not relevent to a given case, can not easily be processed (databases, music, video) or is a known file from the host operating system.  While it is often beneficial to preserve this data for future reference, it can become incredibly costly and burdensome to manage, process or review these files during a case.  

Rather than simply forward these files downstream for expensive processing and eventual exclusion, Global EDD Group will apply an automated filtering system that intelligently excludes files based on type, owner, date, source and hash value and creates a report for future reference.  The culled subset of data is often 30 to 50 percent smaller and provides an immediately savings to the end client via reduced processing, hosting and review costs.
