Lighthouse Middleware

By relying on a combination of proprietary Lighthouse Middleware and leading third party software, Lighthouse is able to create workflows that are faster, more efficient and more accurate than our competitors. We select third party software with open API’s and leverage our engineering resources to seamlessly integrate software from a number of providers. Moreover, we are able to use our Lighthouse Middleware with whatever third party tools are leading the industry at any given time. It is this proprietary middleware, combined with innovative processes and workflows, that sets us apart from the competition.

Litigation Repository

At Lighthouse, one of our key differentiators is our development of proprietary technologies on top of our third party platforms to create unique services. With our proprietary Lighthouse SmartSeries of technologies, as well as our customized workflows, we both mitigate our clients’ litigation risks and reduce our clients’ overall cost of discovery - by one-third to one-half.”

Assessments and Reports

Lighthouse’s innovative data analysis and reduction services enable cutting edge early data assessment and take a preventative approach to reducing the cost and time of data processing and attorney review. We help clients cut through huge volumes of data to pinpoint key information about cases with speed that would have been unimaginable in the past.

Automated Productions

Most Lighthouse productions consist of millions of pages, involve hundreds of settings, and require choosing the correct metadata fields from thousands of options. Our automated production tool allows us to create production templates for your production, allowing for the settings, the metadata fields, and the general production format to be standardized across your cases.

Embedded Connectors

Lighthouse’s proprietary connectors attach each of our best-in-breed eDiscovery technologies together, eliminating the need to export and import time and time again. Our connectors carry metadata and work product with each document into the next eDiscovery system, saving time and eliminating potential error points. Our solution is technology-agnostic, so we are ready to implement the latest and greatest technologies as eDiscovery tools age and are replaced by next generation tools.

Custom Integration Some data does not fit within the bounds of “normal” ESI and requires special attention. Our eDiscovery engineers write custom applications to accommodate our clients’ specific workflows. For example, we have created custom connectors from our clients’ software directly to ours, improving processing speeds and reducing costs. We’ve reconstructed decades-old databases, converted proprietary application data to reviewable formats, and created isolated systems for review by the opposing party’s technical experts. We work with you to seamlessly integrate your existing systems to ours.

All of our Lighthouse Middleware is technology-agnostic — this means that we can connect to any processing and imaging databases, we can read any type of load file, and we can overlay virtually any type of data prior to export.

We create workflows that are faster, more efficient and more accurate than our competitors
