eZOOM – a focus on Microsoft Outlook PST files
Email has become the focal point of most electronic discovery and disclosure projects as it has become the primary method of communication in the business world. Additionally, it has been estimated that Microsoft’s Exchange Server has 70% of the commercial email market.
The OST and PST files created by Exchange Server – and the Microsoft Outlook desktop software typically used to access them – can present challenges with the analysis of email data. One PST file will often contain thousands of emails and attachments along with vital metadata such as sender, recipient, date/time sent and subject. Typically, industry practice has been to process PST files through an e-discovery processing tool and load the resulting files and metadata data on to a hosted review platform for analysis. This process can be cumbersome not only in cost, but in time as well.
