Teneros Application Continuity Appliance
Trying Teneros When a Mail Server Is Down, by
Sean Doherty.
Teneros ACA product is easy to install and use. It is, without a doubt, simpler to set up and administer than a clustered Microsoft Exchange environment. I think the failback feature should be configured to restore services to the Exchange server automatically if no "split brain" is detected that warrants human intervention. Other than that, I certainly would not turn an ACA down if someone left it in my data center. But if I were to license one, I would certainly have to consider Exchange a no-can-do-without service in the law firm.

Discovery Attender
Discovery Attender From Sherpa Software, by
Brett Burney.
I found Discovery Attender to be an extremely
simple and effective tool for searching through a hefty stack of email. It wasn’t overly complicated,
and after a couple of searches, I became very
comfortable with the logical steps involved in the
Search Wizard.
Discovery Attender is a nice addition to the toolbelt
of anyone who regularly needs to search through
email to find messages relevant to a litigation matter.

Isys Desktop 8, Copernic
Isys, the Scalable Search Engine that Could, by
Sandra Rosenzweig.
OK, Isys Desktop 8 is expensive ($1,000 for the first user, $100 for each additional user). But you gets what you pays for. If you search only once in a while and for recent email messages or documents, stick with the free Copernic Desktop Search (www.copernic.com). But if you need to put your hands on every file in your archives, or on every networked hard drive, do as I say (and do) and get Isys.

Outlook 2007
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, by
Elsa Wenzel.
Light users of Outlook are unlikely to need the changes offered by the 2007 version, but they may still benefit from the improved scheduling, message composition, and security. If Outlook is the nerve center of your digital communications and scheduling and you've wished for more flexibility in its older versions, then we recommend this upgrade.

SpeedFiler
SpeedFiler Professional 2.0, by
Kim Plonsky.
SpeedFiler’s performance has been rock-solid, with no crashes (in either SpeedFiler or Outlook) and an amazing 96 percent accuracy of e-mail message filing suggestions. Increases productivity and efficiency by enhancing and improving management of Outlook e-mail. Streamlined design and excellent integration with Outlook 2007’s ribbon toolbar. Powerful features, and solid and reliable. I absolutely recommend this product. Within the first hour of using SpeedFiler, I was hooked, but apprehensive that Outlook would not cooperate, as has happened with other add-on programs. However, after about a month of heavy usage, SpeedFiler has never once failed to perform as expected or promised, which is no small feat for any software application. In my view, SpeedFiler is a gem of a find and a must-have for Outlook users.

Mozilla Thunderbird 2, by
Elsa Wenzel.
Thunderbird renders HTML e-mails via the Firefox browser, which is good. Mozilla Thunderbird 2 is a fine, free, extensible e-mail client and a solid alternative to pricey Microsoft Outlook 2007 or the free Windows Live Mail.

Sanction, Trial Director, TimeMap, Visionary
Still Using Version 1. 0? Here's What's New in Trial Presentation Software, by
Timothy Piganelli.
TrialDirector: One of TrialDirector's strongest features is its report generation functionality. Using this tool, one can generate a report of key exhibits with a thumbnail of the exhibit, a bar code for using a bar code reader and just about any description you could want. In general, you can't go wrong with inData's TrialDirector Suite.
TimeMap: TimeMap has the ability to create PDFs of timeline graphs. You don't need to own a full Acrobat license. There's even a "PDF & Email" option right on TimeMap 4's toolbar. When TimeMap 4 creates a PDF, it goes so far as to add a bookmark for each fact, thereby making it easy to navigate to different events in the timeline. For the price, this tool is a no-brainer. If you're still using Version 1.0, you need to look at TimeMap 4.0.

Outlook 2007
Exchanging Your Old Outlook for the New, by
Brett Burney.
While Outlook 2007 can certainly stand on its own, many law firms and companies that use Outlook power the backend with a Microsoft Exchange Server. If you're a desktop Outlook user, you've probably hired someone to maintain the Exchange backend, but it's worth noting some of the features you'll enjoy if your office links Outlook 2007 with Exchange Server 2007. New features for those using both Outlook 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 include a Resource Assistant for booking rooms and equipment; a Web-based, offline address book; and support for unified messaging that allows users to receive voicemails and fax messages directly in their Inbox. Like the other applications of Microsoft Office 2007, Outlook is much improved and streamlined. While it may not boast the drastic facelift found in Word or PowerPoint for graphics, Outlook 2007 proves that beauty is more than just skin deep.
