FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is e-discovery?
E-discovery (electronic discovery) is the process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) for use in legal cases. This includes documents, emails, spreadsheets, presentations, and other digital files that may be relevant to litigation, investigations, or regulatory requests.
What file types does Athens Search support?
Athens Search supports virtually all common document types including PDFs, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files, ZIP archives, PST email archives, and more. Our built-in OCR engine can also extract text from scanned documents and images.
What is Bates stamping?
Bates stamping is the process of applying a unique sequential number to every page of a document set, creating a permanent identification system used during litigation. Athens Search lets you apply Bates numbers with custom prefixes, create production sets, and export stamped documents in PDF format.
How is Athens Search different from Relativity?
Relativity is an enterprise-grade platform designed for large organizations with dedicated litigation support teams. Athens Search is built for small and mid-size law firms who need core e-discovery capabilities — document upload, search, tagging, Bates stamping, and production — without the complexity, long onboarding, or enterprise pricing. Your team can be productive on day one with zero training.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Athens Search is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States. All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.2+. We provide role-based access controls at the company and project level, so you control exactly who can see each case's documents.
How much does Athens Search cost?
We offer two flexible pricing models: a flat monthly rate for predictable budgeting, and a pay-per-GB model for firms that prefer to scale with their caseload. Both plans include unlimited users, full-text search, OCR, Bates stamping, and production capabilities. Contact us for a custom quote.
Do I need training to use Athens Search?
No. Athens Search is designed to be intuitive — if you can use email, you can use our platform. Most teams are fully productive within their first session. We also provide onboarding support and a demo walkthrough for every new client at no additional cost.
