Electronic Discovery Software

Electronic discovery is the retrieval of useful documents from different electronic sources. With the increasing use of electronic devices for creating, storing and transferring data, the retrieval of useful and valuable information has become a challenge. Every second, thousands of documents are being transferred electronically across the world. This may result in the data being lost or altered. Electronic discovery enables the retrieval of even lost or changed data.

Electronic discovery software enables the effective retrieval of data. Data can be recovered from any kind of source, including computers, backup media such as CD/DVD ROMs, floppy disks, tapes, hard disks etc., CAD/CAM/CAE and graphics, software and source code, internet and intranet content, Jaz drives, Zip drives, internet service providers, fax servers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), network activity systems, cell phones, pagers, electronic/voice/video mail and special databases such as CRM and ERP. Electronic discovery software tools can categorize, search and sort for data in their native format. Reports can be generated within minutes and documents can be redacted. Most software tools are compatible with RTF, HTML, MIME and TXT file formats. The data can also be categorized by type or converted into specified formats such as TIFF, JPEG or PDF.
