About Us Operational Excellence "...Ibis has provided nothing short of miraculous service. Thank you for your consistent excellence, responsiveness and problem-solving skills." Carla Hinton, Esq., Davis, Polk & Wardwell Ibis currently operates a scalable data processing facility with over 250 server-class processor nodes and nearly 220 terabytes of storage. Ibis processed over 250 million pages in its system last year and produced over 100 million pages of evidence. Current Ibis information technology is able to process over 12,000 gigabytes (900 million pages per year), and the infrastructure is scalable to many times that. Every data set produced is auditable and meets the highest, most stringent chain-of-custody requirements established in the federal courts. Data is indexed, culled, categorized and converted to formats that allow internal review by counsel as well as production to courts and regulators, while maintaining strict chain-of-custody of the data and avoiding spoliation. Ibis restores data from every imaginable type of producible media - hard drives, servers, tapes, CDs and DVDs - and can load data directly from remote client sites (via FTP, for example). Ibis has expertly automated the process of extracting, indexing and sorting data from nearly 200 file types that are responsive to search terms. During the patented data extraction process, all text, hidden data and metadata is exposed and evaluated to ensure the most responsive data set available. "Smoking gun" e-mails and other incriminating or exculpatory evidence have often been identified as a result of this process. The Ibis process is algorithmic, deterministic and language-independent. All of the data is indexed to allow text-based search tools to be employed, including Boolean, proximity, and wildcard searching. Ibis is the only electronic discovery firm in business today who can deploy compound filtering to comprehensively cull your large data sets. These compound filters, based on Boolean and/or operators, can be composed of a variety of different types of filters, including user date-range, file type, and custom search lists, all combined in one filtering pass. Compound filtering has been developed to efficiently and dramatically cull extraordinarily large collections of e-mail and document data sets into usable, reviewable collections of relevant data.

The ibis (pronounced i' – bis) is a bird of African origin that since ancient times has symbolized knowledge, justice, wisdom and truth. This symbolism, along with the well-known avian ability to pinpoint an object of prey in any surrounding, presents a perfect metaphor for the process of electronic discovery. Ibis has the knowledge, experience and process to precisely identify the most important piece of information from the most daunting environment imaginable - your data!
