Dealing with electronic information in the discovery process can be
very challenging to an organization. With over 90% of business
documents and communications being prepared electronically, there
can be substantial amounts of data to review once a document
discovery request or subpoena is issued. In addition to the
difficulty of searching large volumes of information and the
extensive costs involved, many times these requests must be
completed under intense court-imposed deadlines making the task even
more cumbersome.

Discovery Attender™ is an email discovery and search tool specifically
designed to perform dynamic keyword searches in Microsoft Exchange mailboxes,
PST files and common file storage areas. Discovery Attender can
automatically execute powerful scans of message subject, body and
attachments through customizable search criteria. Content searches
are transparent to end-users and can be targeted to specific groups
or users. Once critical information is located, it is summarized and
linked in a detailed report indicating items found that matched the
keyword expression.
Often, electronic data is casually written without concern that it
may one day be subject to discovery in court. An organization’s
fate can rely on the informally written communications that are
hiding in their corporate systems. More than being reactive,

through routine monitors. Thus, allowing you to maintain control
over content and protect against potential liabilities.
