I'd also like smarter file-typing that removes non-user-generated files in a more precise way than current deNISTing tools. We currently send remote collection kits out and get back forensic images that still need to be filtered prior to production. » Anonymous Corporate Legal Department: I'd like a way to collect data on iPhones that doesn't require the initial backup password the user entered, as they never remember it! » Fred Sheppard, Farella Braun + Martel: It would be great to have a way for a custodian to export a single Gmail tag, instead of having to collect the entire mailbox. » Anonymous Corporate Legal Department: My wish is for a universal and quick converter for collecting all formats of email (e.g., unzipping MBOX.ZIP files, converting MBOXs to PSTs, converting OSTs to PSTs, etc.) Depending on the volume of the inbox, converting and processing the email for ingestion into a review tool can take hours for just one custodian. » Anonymous Corporate Legal Department: Someone should develop a more user-friendly tool for performing forensic collections of computers and all other devices that doesn't require multiday training and certification –– one tool that would collect from all devices (phones, tablets, computers, etc.) in a user-friendly way. I'd also like a tool that collects from Google's applications (not just email and Drive) and is ideally available as soon as the applications are put into production (without having to rely on Google's tools, i.e., Vault/Takeout). » Anonymous Corporate Legal Department: Allow scheduling of forensic preservations. Allow preservations to be resumed when a computer is disconnected from the network mid-collection. Productions and Redactions Productions haven't changed much over the last decade. Most parties still produce TIFF images, redacted by hand, with the same load files we've been turning over for years. It is difficult to keep pace with the data complexity and volume we see in our document populations. » Julie Brown, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP: I wish someone would figure out how to manage native and near-native document productions for all nonproprietary files through trial. Our tools are mature enough that we can produce natively, but I haven't found a good, consistent process for aorneys to use native files in court filings, at depositions or at trial. It seems we have two opportunities: One, make native files easier for aorneys to use by adding Bates numbers, stamps and seing default print seings (show hidden columns, print notes, etc.), so most native files can be printed easily and used by aorneys in deposition and trial. They could also easily print to PDF for court filings. Two, if we can't figure out how to make native files easier for aorneys to use, we need to transform how court filings, deposition exhibits and trial exhibits are introduced and presented in all venues. While it is possible to use native files, the Someone should develop a more user-friendly tool for performing forensic collections of computers and all other devices that doesn't require multiday training and certification.
