Discovery Attender®
Electronic Search and Discovery
Discovery Attender provides federated search functionality across all Domino databases. This includes active mail files, archives, journals and even customized applications, for both server-based and local-based files. Discovery Attender allows you to specify the keywords for which you are searching and will automatically produce an unadulterated set of results within a Domino database for all source databases that are searched without affecting the original messages. Discovery Attender can also deduplicate both email messages and application documents to help reduce the results set. In addition, Discovery Attender can search loose files (e.g. text files) on a Windows-based environment.

Alliance knew it needed an easy to use and affordable solution powerful enough to find and produce the needed data.

We had an emergency discovery project that had to be run on six months of backup tapes of selected email files. Sherpa Software got us the additional purchased licensing for a new server in less than an hour and helped us get the software up and running quickly. When we ran into problems – support was there to help us resolve it.

Notes App Store Reviews
- Senior Domino Engineer with Small Utility Company
Great Product - only have used a few times...but those few times it accurately found what we needed and output to a format that easily used by outside parties. Discovery Attender for Notes was very powerful, easy to use and setup. - Information Security Manager at Post-Secondary Technical School
We’ve been a Sherpa Discovery Attender for Exchange customer for years, use it from time to time, and it works consistently – every time. We were recently hit with a high-visibility, time-critical eDiscovery request that required us to perform far more exhaustive and granular searches than before. I contacted Tech Support, and not only were they helpful in assisting with correcting some long-time-poor Search practices that we were employing, but thy offered a 1-hour training session to cover Discovery Attender use and administration. Within minutes it was clear just how many features we were not using – all included with the core product – that made the [seemingly impossible] eDiscovery request borderline simple. Bottom line, once the features of Discovery Attender were used as the Sherpa developers designed, it opened countless doors and options that weren’t previously utilized. We now use the product for more than periodic Discovery requests. It has become an irreplaceable tool in our systems administration processes. - View more reviews on the Notes App Store
