Case Study: a large automobile manufacturer achieves consistent global deduplication and faster reporting with Epiq

Shared repository provides consistency in collection and review for automobile manufacturer in large class action and EPA investigation

A large automobile manufacturer faced the challenge of managing data across a large class action and an EPA investigation. With data processed on multiple platforms, they could not perform global deduplication or efficient analysis, making it difficult to estimate review volumes and find information. They partnered with Epiq for its eDiscovery services and technical expertise.

Epiq's solution was to migrate all of the client's data into a single, shared processing repository. This provided consistent reporting and analysis across the entire 9.5 TB data set from approximately 200 custodians. The implementation by Epiq saved the client $10,000 in processing costs, reduced turnaround times for reports, and created a more efficient and manageable review process.
