Background

USDA is involved in many document requests, both as an originator and a respondent. These requests occur in the context of litigation, oversight, investigations and FOIA requests. A typical response to any of these requests can involve a range of data sizes, from hundreds of megabytes to terabytes of unstructured data and thousands to millions of native files that must be reviewed, analyzed, and eventually produced for the requester. A typical incoming production can also involve hundreds of megabytes to terabytes of unstructured data produced either as load files or native files that must be reviewed and analyzed. The legal staff assigned to this work can be as small as a single attorney to over a dozen individuals, all concurrently accessing the same dataset.

  • A FedRAMP Moderate Platform SaaS.

  • Provide tools and resources to transfer existing workspaces hosted by Deloitte on its Relativity Server to the new SaaS platform, as well as existing workspaces hosted in CasePoint instances.
  • Provide integration between USDA systems, including third party systems such as MSOffice 365 (including Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, etc.), FEITH, and others that may import directly into the e-discovery/ESI review system.
  • Provide mobile tools usable in the Android & IOS environments.
  • Provide support services as requested by USDA-OGC, including processing preservation and collection requests in existing USDA platforms, processing/ingestion, end-user training, and consulting and technical support related to the e-discovery/ESI review process.
