How does DataParser work?

DataParser is connector software designed to collect data directly from its source to preserve chain of custody and maintain metadata for legally defensible compliance. The data is formatted and delivered to an email archive, eDiscovery platform, mailbox or file location.  Features include automatic processing, reporting, AD integration and Cloud or On-premise plans.

 

Do I need a server for this service?

No servers needed – we’ll manage everything for you with DataParser Cloud!  Minimal resources required and easy deployments make DataParser Cloud a perfect solution for clients that don’t want to setup and manage servers.

Our dedicated DataParser Cloud Support team will monitor your service to ensure continuous processing and quick issue resolution.  No need to track new versions or data source updates.  Our team will handle it all for you!

Can I run DataParser on demand instead of a schedule?

Yes, you can.  With the on-premise version of DataParser, you control how and when it processes your data.  Daily collections and one-off runs can be setup for ongoing use.

If you need to send data to your legal team for a group of users or a specific date, simply create a configuration for your use case and pull the data.  Send it into your archive or eDiscovery system or send directly to outside counsel.

Can I collect files that I've shared in Bloomberg with DataParser?

Yes. DataParser can be configured to collect files from Bloomberg’s SFTP site. You can allow your users to share files in Bloomberg and use DataParser to collect them and stay in compliance.  All files are attached to the outgoing messages for easy ingestion by archives and eDiscovery systems.
