Q: What native files does Breeze eDiscovery Suite support?
A: Breeze can recognize a multitude of native files for your electronic discovery project and can extract the metadata for these files. When converting to TIF, Breeze requires that either the native application or an associated file viewer is installed on your processing station. If you are able to open a particular native file on the PC where Breeze is installed, then Breeze will be able to open the file to convert to TIF. Breeze does not require any particular file viewer...If you can open the file, Breeze can open the file!
Q: Does Breeze eDiscovery Suite support Unicode files?
A: One of the great things about Breeze eDiscovery Suite is how Breeze is able to read and process Unicode files by default. This means that you are able to process ANSI and Unicode based files in one process. This is particularly important for groups who are looking to process international electronic discovery gathers, and/or native files written in languages other than English.
Q: How does Breeze handle embedded or attached files and objects when processing native files?
A: Breeze eDiscovery Suite has infinite recursion ability. This means that Breeze will identify and extract objects, file attachments, ZIP file contents, and so on as far as the deepest object or file can be found. This recursion is particularly important when your electronic discovery project has files embedded in files, embedded in files, saved in compressed files, which are attached to other files. Whew! That was a mouthful!!
Q: Can I use my workstation while Breeze eDiscovery Suite is processing files?
A: The answer to this question depends on which processing option(s) you are running. You can use your workstation if you are using any of the processing options that are not under the EDD tab. When you use any of the EDD options, the workstation must be in "dedicated mode". This means that no other processes can be running on the workstation other than Breeze. Examples of Breeze running in dedicated mode are:
- Begin a Breeze process to run over night
- Breeze is installed on a dedicated workstation
If you are using any of the image file only processing options, you can continue using your workstation as usual.
