Wave Software’s Trident Becomes Integral Part of Bridge City Legal’s E-Discovery Services

ORLANDO, Florida (May 23, 2007)—Orlando-based Wave Software, an innovator in the de-duplication, re-generation and export of native e-mail files, and Bridge City Legal, Inc., a premier litigation management and consulting company, have come together to make Trident an integral part of Bridge City Legal’s electronic discovery services. Now, Bridge City Legal will use Trident to process discovery e-mails on behalf of its clients, or re-sell and train those clients on the use of the software so they can do it themselves in-house.

E-mail comprises the largest percentage of electronically stored information (ESI) as it has become a popular form of communication with the upwards of sixty billion e-mails generated each day. Businesses of Fortune 500 stature create over seventeen trillion e-documents annually. Since 2002, publicly traded companies have been working to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and improve their corporate compliance and retention policies. The legislatively mandated approaches required by Sarbanes-Oxley to retaining documents have only increased the pressure a company faces to understand every detail regarding their ESI: the location, where it is backed up, how long this data is stored and whether it is readily accessible (should a government agency or regulatory body request information).

When the individual e-mails that make up so much of that information become part of a discovery request or regulatory filing requirement, the job of finding, sorting and packaging those messages for delivery to opposing counsel or the agency can quickly overwhelm even the best legal staff. Bridge City Legal’s expert consulting coupled with litigation support services powered by Trident technology offer clients top quality workflow for discovery and compliance.

“This partnership helps us ensure our clients’ case-pertinent information is properly handled and admissible, and that they’re not buried under mounds of duplicative or non-responsive documents,” said Dave Cakarnis of Bridge City Legal.

“Given the volume of information changing hands when complying with electronic discovery requests, the bottom line is that a legal team needs an approach that enables them to be confident they’re giving all the right—and none of the wrong—documents to the other side. We know Trident encompasses a sound approach, and we’re pleased Bridge City Legal agrees,” states Robert Childress, president of Wave Software.
