Right-sized response to production of information

A Government Perspective

Federal agencies and departments routinely receive requests to produce information from a variety of sources. A query can come through a subpoena or discovery motion, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) action, or a Congressional or administrative record request, to name a few. Whoever asks for the information, and whether the information pertains to a contract, a legal action, a human resources or environmental issue, or something else, it is vital to provide a timely, orderly and thoughtful response. It’s a lot to get done. But you don’t have to go it alone. Deloitte Discovery helps you address risk as you fulfill the diverse and growing information requests made of your organization, whether large or small, simple or complex. Our time-tested, technology-enabled approach to eDiscovery supports you across the query response continuum or at any step of it–from initial request, data collection, and data preservation to processing, review and analysis, redaction, production, and preservation.

Expanding demand

Several factors fuel the steady increase in information requests fielded by agencies. Advances in information technology have made it easier for individuals and organizations to research issues and mount requests. Data volumes continue to grow inexorably. Judges, FOIA requestors, Congress, and plaintiffs are demanding more timely responses.

Whatever the situation, Deloitte is equipped and ready to work with you across the request-response continuum. We bring a standardized, tested approach and workflow to every assignment, tailored to your particular requirements.
