Pushing the Envelope
Threading 17 million emails in two days
The modern eDiscovery team is confronted with ever-increasing amounts of data. When big cases source a deluge of data for discovery professionals to sift through in search of the proverbial needle in the haystack, it is all the more important that the tools cope with the demands placed on them. They need to robustly handle ever-growing volumes of documents and, ideally, degrade gracefully when used beyond their recommended operating range. Does the current generation of eDiscovery software meet modern needs? From talking to practitioners, we don’t think so.
eDiscovery users should not have to work around the shortcomings of their tools manually, yet they often do. At Farsight we focus on smoothing sharp edges, expanding the areas of predictable operation and validating it on real-world cases, so eDiscovery users can focus on current problems, rather than litigating old problems at new scale.
As an on-prem vendor, testing systems at a large scale involves a bit of luck and someone willing to take the leap and see what comes of it. Before an interested party reached out and offered to test our threading on one of their largest cases to date, it remained an open question whether we could satisfy our clients in their pursuit of handling peak scale. We remained hopeful, but without positive proof.
However, after threading 17 million emails in just under 48 hours, on-prem, without the need for cloud infrastructure, we can now state with more confidence; maybe! Maybe we can help uncover the secrets in your data. Maybe we can make it even faster, add a feature you need, something you want as a cherry on top.
Handling a case of similar size, or even larger? Need a platform that scales to meet your needs? Reach out; we’d be delighted to discuss how Farsight can help.
