Symantec this week bolstered the electronic discovery capabilities of its Enterprise Vault e-mail archiving software with the addition of software that connects it to other e-discovery vendors.

The company added two e-discovery connectors to its Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator that provide integration with third-party case management, review, analytics, forensics and desktop collection tools. Rather than managing and correlating e-discovery operations in a manual way, customers can now use the connectors to manage the e-discovery process.

The connectors work with the applications to support a chain of custody and are compliant with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Both the Symantec E-Discovery Review Connector and the Symantec E-Discovery Collection Connector let organization maintain an auditable electronic chain of custody.

The Symantec E-Discovery Review Connector automates the transfer of data to include third-party analytics and review products such as Attenex, Clearwell and MetaLINCS and reduces the amount of data produced for review. These companies will use the connector to pull information directly from the archive.

The E-Discovery Review Connector automates the export of data into legal load file formats and transfer into document review, production and presentation software from companies such as Ringtail and CT Summation.

The Symantec E-Discovery Collection Connector lets data from desktop collections to be incorporated into Enterprise Vault using software from vendors such as Kazeon and Guidance. These products discover active files on individual computers or laptops that have not yet been archived. Upon discovery, they are moved into the archive.

The Symantec E-Discovery Review Connector and the Symantec E-Discovery Collection Connector are available to customers that have Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator 2007 at no additional charge.
