White paper by John Randall posted on Randall Consulting Services: “In 2006 Randall Consulting came out with a basic report on 3rd party electronic discovery processing programs. In the future whether it is 2007 or 2008 a more advanced and comprehensive analysis of these 3rd party programs will come out. The intent for the first half of 2007 is to release white papers on electronic discovery programs. These documents will be free of charge and is geared to helping the litigation support community in gathering more knowledge of some of these programs.

“This is the first of at least 4 free to the public documents on software programs. It can even be labeled as cliff notes to understanding these types of software programs. They will cover the electronic discovery life cycle. The life cycle as defined by Randall Consulting starts with data collection and ends with trial presentation programs. Any software that falls in this spectrum has a chance to be included in such a document. It could be a forensic gathering program, a native production and/or review tool, an electronic discovery program or even a trial presentation program. As with the 2006 report all literature written by Randall Consulting is from a totally independent point of view.

“The first document of 2007 will be Trident Suite from Wave Software. Wave Software located in Orlando, Florida started out within a Service Bureau and a very large Legal Publisher. The late nineties began a shift in the legal market that necessitated fast and easy solutions to attorneys. Law firms began bringing technology in-house and exploring more time and cost-efficient options in light of the growth of data discovery. With the E-Discovery boom in the late nineties, many cases began focusing on electronic data stored on hard drives and legal professionals such as Litigation Directors, Firm Administrators and Paralegals began to seek more knowledge around E-Discovery. Trident was developed from a law Firm, for a law Firm and has been used to file PSTs natively to entities such as the SEC, NASD, DOJ and more….”
