As corporate litigation and regulatory changes drive legal processes, e-discovery projects have become critical deliverables for many companies. Often, the projects and costs of e-discovery are variable and many companies do not want to invest in extensive infrastructure and personnel to handle their needs. KSF’s e-Discovery team provides consulting and e-discovery infrastructure management services that allow organizations to flexibly meet their e-discovery needs. KSF’s team can assess the infrastructure and application requirements needed to successfully deliver the content required in an investigation. On-site, the team can install the hardware, software and fully integrate the components into native IT systems. The KSF software development team can also assist by developing new software tools should vendor products not meet the needs of the project. Business critical information is normally produced and handled by different corporate applications and third-party information systems provided by external suppliers. Considering a variety of formats, application lifecycles, delivery schedules — it is quite easy to get lost in data flows doing the extraction of aggregated overview information required for decision making. KSF’s Business Analytics team provides consulting and business data management services that allow organizations to get maximum out of data produced and managed in-house. KSF’s team can assess the infrastructure and data sources (DBMS, WSs, APIs, Files) to consolidate them and perform aggregations of data needed for analysis. The team can install software, assist with the hardware and fully integrate the components into native IT systems.
