IT-Discovery

Boring

When we say “boring” we mean “what everyone else talks about”:

Discovery and Review Features

• Automatic name normalization — groups alternate email addresses and spellings into one correspondent, to reduce the number and complexity of searches and improve visibility into the corpus. We also allow users to manually group radically different names that our algorithm doesn't detect.
• Enter external events to provide context and focus discovery
• Save and retrieve particular searches
• Move back and forth through recent search history
• View discussion threads, and apply tagging, foldering, and annotation information to entire threads at once. We even display placeholders for “missing” email messages that weren't provided
• Tag, folder, and add comments, and easily retrieve documents by any of those criteria
• Graph email results in real time on an interactive timeline
• Search individual document fields like subject, body, and attachment type
• Use advanced search operators for wildcard, proximity and phrase searches
• Mass tagging, foldering, commenting, and annotation of documents
• Arbitrary document allocation. Assign documents to specific users — who are only allowed to see documents they've been assigned. Allocations can be based on whatever search criteria you want, including topics, custodian, dates, and correspondents.

Scalability

Our search architecture supports corpus sharding — that is, splitting a corpus of documents into many smaller chunks, and searching them at once. This allows us to scale to very large data sets by simply adding off the shelf commodity hardware. This is the same technique used by all major search engines, including Yahoo! and Google.

Processing Capability

IT-Discovery can process all common input formats, including:

• Microsoft PST, MSG
• Lotus NSF
• Loose file types like DOC, XLS, PPT, etc
• Standard mail formats like mbox, EML, and RFC822
• Concordance and Summation load files

Export Formats

Exporting is easy — simply select the documents you'd like to export and a format, and download the results. We offer a variety of export formats, including:

• Concordance
• EML/RFC822
• PDF
• Native document
• Plain text
• XML

Reporting

Using our metadata export format, reports — such as privilege logs and production summaries — can be generated on the fly for any set of documents.
