Once your ESI population has been culled to a more manageable dataset, the next step is to Process and Produce it for review.  The manner in which you produce this data, whether internally, to outside/co- counsel or to opposing, is dependent on your overall goals as well as budget restraints.

The three most common forms of processing include:

• Full TIFF - With this process, all files will be converted into TIFF images with extracted text and/or OCR.
• Native File - With this process, all Native files will be converted and formatted for review within the Document Management System of your choice. The database will include the link to the Native File, Extracted Text (for any file that has text) and Metadata fields.
• Native File 'Optimized' - We highly recommend this process if keyword searching is applied. With NFO, 24 Seven will determine if extracted text was not possible for relevant files (ex: non-searchable .pdf), and will TIFF and apply OCR.  This will then allow these files to become searchable during the review process.
