Deduplification

Often many of the messages or files found in the result set are duplicates of each other. One email sent to numerous people in your organization can produce multiple copies of the same message found with your search. To prevent wasted effort, Discovery Attender can de-duplicate the data, showing one instance of these duplicate items based on user selected criteria. The user will always have the option to see the full list, or the duplicates of any individual item.

Copy Results to PST Files

Aside from Discovery Attender's email discovery and pst search functionality, another popular feature is the ability to copy items into PST files. The user has a variety of choices including output format (Outlook 2002 and below, or Outlook 2003), internal folder structure (Source Name, Source Path, Internal Structure, user-defined folder), and PST Size checking.

Benefits

Mitigate Legal Liability
Email and other types of electronic information are commonly being used as evidence in lawsuits. By auditing employee usage, you can reduce the risk of sexual harassment claims, workplace lawsuits and internal security breaches.

Reduce the Costs Associated with Search and Discovery
Whether your company gets subpoenaed to produce documentation or HR is conducting an internal investigation; locating and recovering information for legal discovery can be very costly to an organization. Discovery Attender gives you the ability to search through mailboxes, PST files and files on your network for specified content.

Automate Time Intensive Tasks
Searching through high volumes of electronic data could take thousands of man-hours to complete and thereby, be impossible to perform manually. With the help of Discovery Attender, you can automatically locate critical information quickly to meet your court-appointed deadlines.

Secure Potential Evidence
Once significant information is located, it must be kept in a safe and secure location. Any maltreatment of data could result in large fines or the exclusion of evidence in court proceedings. Discovery Attender allows you to copy files, messages and attachments to a central repository or local PST file for safekeeping.
