Data Reduction

DATA REDUCTION/CULLING/FILTERING

“Data culling” (or “filtering”) refers to the process of removing certain files from the review process in order to control volume and cost. There are many strategies and methods for reducing large sets of electronically stored information, and we use them all.

Lighthouse Document Technologies will first reduce your data by eliminating specified file types and sizes, such as unreadable and system files. We can further reduce your data based on custodian name, date ranges, de-duplication technology, key words, or any other criteria specified by the client.

Data culling techniques can reduce the population for review by 10% – 75%, depending on the volume and the number of techniques used.
