Lower Processing Costs
80-90 percent of the ESI collected for a case is non-relevant. Yet, enterprises continue to send the entire dataset to outside services for processing at an average cost of $1,800 per gigabyte, incurring significant costs. With the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform, customers quickly and accurately cull-down large case datasets to only the relevant ESI—typically between 10-20% of the originally collected data. As a result, Clearwell customers are significantly reducing their processing costs.
