Attenex combines Snapshot Review with Patterns E-Discovery Software; DigiScope releases version 2 of DigiScope for Microsoft Exchange

Developments of the week in storage

Attenex and Lucid8 both made sure to take advantage of LegalTech in New York City last week to announce new and enhanced e-discovery products. Attenex launched Snapshot Review, a bundle of software, hardware and services that gives organizations early insight into electronically stored information. Meanwhile Lucid8 unveiled DigiScope 2.0, an e-discovery and recovery package for Microsoft Exchange environments.

Attenex' Snapshot Review combines Attenex Patterns E-Discovery Software, an appliance and consulting services, and is available as a three month package. With Snapshot Review, organizations can identify key custodians, issues and data to inform preservation and collection policies, proactively place defensible limits on collection, more accurately budget for legal review, and better assess risk. Additionally, Snapshot Review includes consulting services from Attenex, which provide the organization with best practices.

After the three-month period lapses, customers can continue to use the Snapshot Review tool, deploying a full Attenex platform within their organizations, choose a hosted e-discovery environment or create a custom combination.

Lucid8's DigiScope 2.0 is an e-discovery and recovery package for Microsoft Exchange environments. Among the features of version 2.0 are the ability to deduplicate identical messages found from more than one source, to export search results in a single .PST file or to save multiple .PST files. Users can also repair .PST and .EDB files that have been corrupted. Further, DigiScope now allows users to view messages without requiring installation of Microsoft Outlook. The software supports a continuous data protection option, which will be available later this year.

DigiScope 2.0 is expected to be available before the end of March starting at $759 for one message store.
