Case Study: IST Management achieves 83% data reduction and beats deadline with Relativity Processing

With Relativity Processing, Ist Management Cut Data by 83% And Beat Their Deadline

IST, a business process outsourcing firm specializing in physical and digital information management and e-discovery, was tasked with processing an initial 18 TB of client data within 19 days as the matter expanded sixfold and custodians grew from 20 to 30 (data from 30 laptops and 40+ email inboxes). Facing a rapidly increasing scope and tight deadline, IST turned to Relativity, using Relativity Processing to manage the workload.

Relativity enabled IST to apply date filters and global de-duplication to cull redundant files, shrinking the review set from 18 TB to 3 TB (an 83% reduction) and leaving nearly one million records—enough to meet the production timeline and finish a week early. IST reports using Relativity’s full stack for more than 95% of cases, and credits Relativity with delivering a streamlined, single-tool workflow that accelerated their e-discovery process.
