SAN FRANCISCO--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Daegis (NASDAQ: DAEG), a leading provider of eDiscovery software and services, today announced that the company is able to preserve and manage Lotus Notes collaborative application data throughout the entire eDiscovery process. Through new technology added to its eDiscovery Platform, Daegis becomes the only provider to offer clients the ability to capture, process, search, cull and review collaborative Lotus Notes applications such as team room documents, document libraries, support systems and customized templates for legal discovery.

"When looking at eDiscovery matters, lawyers tend to focus their attention on email and laptops"

The new functionality within the Daegis eDiscovery Platform extracts the data including attachments and images in true native format and ingests it for processing, culling, indexing, searching, reviewing and production. Handling the applications in native format removes the risk of spoliation and cleanly delivers data ready for review and production. This capability is critical for corporate clients who need to include the data contained within Notes applications as part of discovery for legal or regulatory compliance matters.

aCollecting data from Lotus Notes collaborative applications has been extremely burdensome for companies so the data has been largely ignored in eDiscovery,a said Duane George, CTO, Daegis. aThe Daegis eDiscovery Platform has made it possible for clients to efficiently and effectively include .nsf databases in the eDiscovery search and collection process, which will prove to be a rich source of information tied to legal matters.a

Many companies that have migrated their messaging and collaboration tools to Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint also have legacy applications within their IT environments running on Lotus Notes. This creates a tremendous amount of untapped data that is currently being overlooked in the eDiscovery process. Collection of collaborative application data is complex due to the proliferation of Notes applications throughout the enterprise that are managed without IT support. Daegis has drawn from its significant development expertise with other Lotus Notes migration technology to develop this functionality.

aWhen looking at eDiscovery matters, lawyers tend to focus their attention on email and laptops,a continued George. aThis leaves significant gaps in the collection effort and reinforces the importance of involving IT in the eDiscovery process so that large server-based repositories such as Lotus Notes databases are not overlooked.a
