The Solution:

Array formulated a comprehensive strategy to address the legal challenge and minimize costs associated with eDiscovery. The initial step involved providing advice on negotiating search terms to restrict the volume of data processed and reviewed. This strategic approach aimed at focusing on relevant information while avoiding unnecessary expenses.

Array further advised on custodian identification and collection methodology. To gather relevant data, a specialized team was dispatched to another state for custodian interviews and collecting both hard copy and electronic data. Targeted and forensic approaches were employed to ensure a thorough and accurate collection process.

Data collected was then loaded into a web-based review platform for relevance and privilege review. In addition, Celerity coordinated the extraction of sales transaction data from SAP and Oracle, loading it into a SQL database. This data was produced to the plaintiffs in a “reasonably usable format” as required by Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Results:

Array’s strategic advice and streamlined approach produced significant results for the pharmaceutical client. By negotiating search terms and implementing an efficient data collection methodology, Array successfully limited the amount of data processed and reviewed. This, in turn, resulted in substantial cost savings for the client.

The extraction and production of sales transaction data in a “reasonably usable format” further demonstrated Array’s commitment to compliance with legal procedures. The client’s ability to provide relevant information in an accessible format contributed to a smoother legal process.
