TRIDENT SOFTWARE

With the growth of the internet, e-mail has become the primary form of communication in business today and it is now frequently included in discovery requests. Due to the ease of creation and shorter nature of e-mails, the volume of data involved can be staggering. This creates a problem in the collection and searching of relevant information exchanged by counsel. Trident Software was created to address
this problem.

With Trident, e-mails can be reviewed in a standard database, using all of the capabilities of the databases structure. Once the responsive e-mails have been isolated, they can be delivered to opposing counsel... in their native e-mail format. This solution gives litigants the ability to meet the discovery request of native e-mail files to its fullest definition. This process saves your company the time and money previously necessary to convert hundreds of gigs of PST files to TIFF images for review and coding. It also saves your staff from the tedious and time intensive task of having a legal assistant go back through all of those same PST files looking for the correct email to print to paper format.

De-Duplication
The Message De-Duplication tool will create new PST files from the selected source PST files removing duplicates. De-duplication can be performed globally or by custodian.
The unique messages can then be:
Merged into a single PST
Copied into a PST per source PST
Copied into a PST per custodian
The message folder path is kept in the destination PST; however you may optionally insert the custodian name and/or source PST name into the folder path.
To maintain chain of custody, a cross reference file is created so that you can map the messages in the destination PST back to the source.
A duplicate log is created so that you can see the unique message that was kept as well as how many duplicate messages, and the sources, were not included.
Unique and duplicate message data is stored so that future data can be de-duped. This allows de-duplication of data on a rolling basis.

PST Generator
The PST Generator can create new PST files from selected messages from multiple source PST files. You review your data in the review tool of your choice. Tag the messages of interest and export a file with the Entry IDs (Message IDs). The PST Generator can then create new PST files from the source PST files used in the review.
The PST Generator can be used in the middle of your discovery process to make smaller PST sets. PST Generator can also be used as a production tool when you need to produce native PST files to opposing council or the government.

The selected messages can then be:
Merged into a single PST
Copied into a PST per source PST
Copied into a PST per custodian
The message folder path is kept in the destination PST; however you may optionally insert the custodian name and/or source PST name into the folder path.
To maintain chain of custody, a cross reference file is created so that you can map the messages in the destination PST back to the source.
The load file format is very flexible. The only required field is the Entry Id. PST Generator will auto-detect Concordance DAT files, Tab and CSV delimited files. PST Generator will take any delimited file as input.
You can easily assign custodian names to PST files to process data by custodian.
PST Generator is extremely fast in generating the new PST files.


Message Exporter
The Message Exporter allows you to export messages from multiple PST files. This can be useful if you need to individually process MSG files. The whole message is exported including the attachments to the message.
At the same time a metadata file is created that includes over 20 metadata fields from the message. Besides the standard fields extracted field like Importance, Sensitivity, of attachments, attachment filenames, and if the email has been marked as read. You can optionally only export the metadata if you do not need the MSG files exported.
