Data Culling Using Axcelerate Ingestion

Loaded data is initially stored in an Axcelerate Ingestion application. This application allows you to preview the collected data and, if desired, defensibly reduce the collected data volume – also called culling – early in the discovery process. The basic steps of this process are:

1. Create a matter, which is basically a staging area, used to hold search results that you plan to export or publish to Axcelerate 5.
2. Explore your data using search and Smart Filters. As you locate data sets of interest, add the searches to the previously created matter; this equates to creating a saved search.
3. When you are ready, export the culled data set from the matter, publish it to Axcelerate 5 or move it to Axcelerate Cloud for additional analysis.
