Wave Software and TRILANTIC formed a strategic partnership to provide law firms and corporate legal departments with the ability to use Wave Software's Trident product to process and de-duplicate emails, then use TRILANTIC's range of software and services to review and produce emails in their native format in response to discovery requests and disclosure requirements.

    Lawyers need a fast, easy way to prepare this electronic information for disclosure and process it so they're sure they're sending the correct documents and are not subject to inadvertent exposure. Emails and the metadata associated with them now account for the bulk of disclosable documents in virtually any civil or white-collar criminal case.

    Robert Childress, president of Wave Software, stated: "Law firms are bringing technology in-house and exploring more time and cost-efficient options in light of the growth of data discovery. With increased cost pressures clients face, everyone, from those who lead litigation teams to non-lawyer litigation support staff, is seeking more sensible methods of managing data around e-discovery and e-disclosure. By partnering with TRILANTIC, we are combining the benefits of our unique software and service with TRILANTIC's to provide an inclusive way for litigation professionals across the globe to save time and costs."

    In addition, Nigel Murray, managing director of TRILANTIC, said: With our partnership with Wave Software, we provide law firms and corporations who want to process their data internally, combined with TRILANTIC's review tools, the ability to manage electronic data from start to finish, for the entire litigation lifecycle. TRILANTIC plus Trident gives anyone familiar with Microsoft Outlook functions the immediate capability to manage all electronically stored information in its native format, or in just about any format the legal world would want."

    Wave Software provides a fast and accurate de-duplication, re-generation and export of native email files. Trident is the name of Wave Software's flagship product that provides litigators in-house capability to cut down data sets to manageable amounts and then upload onto repositories for review and production. Wave Software offers software, consulting and training specialized in the legal industry. TRILANTIC is a legal support services company offering traditional and eDocument management solutions for all stages of any matter. Services encompass all aspects of electronic disclosure and include data acquisition, scanning & coding, database hosting, document disclosure, printing, courtroom presentation, online Deal and Dataroom solutions, and technical support.
