Let this E-Discovery Guide Lead the Way
By Brett Burney
Today's litigator faces a Mount Everest-like challenge — find the key documents and e-mail messages from among the tens of thousands that reside on the computer hard drives at issue in a discovery request or subpoena. Just as you would not try to tackle Mount Everest without the help of a Sherpa, you probably won't want to tackle a discoverable hard drive without the help of Sherpa Software's Discovery Attender. This electronic discovery tool enables you to conduct "dynamic keyword searches" (including Boolean queries and wildcards) on any electronic media. Discovery attender can also perform searches by age, type, sender/recipient, and many other parameters. In addition to searching the content of Microsoft Office and other such documents, Discovery Attender can also search Exchange mailboxes, Outlook PST files, and Lotus Notes mailboxes. A wizard-like interface makes this powerful tool easy to use. When Discovery Attender finds the keywords you seek, it summarizes the information and places both the summary and a link to the original item in a detailed report. Importantly, Discovery Attender searches in a nondestructive, secure manner that preserves the metadata associated with each document. In addition to its search capabilities, Discovery Attender can also copy files, messages, and attachments to a repository for safe-keeping. Discovery Attender works with virtually all versions of Windows, and can search Exchange 5.5 and higher and Outlook 98 and higher. Learn more about Discovery Attender.
