Removing Duplicates in Outlook
Here is a fun little application I found today. I’m not recommending anything beyong looking at an interesting piece of software.
With today’s discovery, eliminating dups can save a lot of time and money in processing. Again, I’m not advocating use of this product to filter out dups from client discovery. Although, perhaps you could use it on your own email. I don’t make any warranties about this product, so make a backup. At any rate, the following info is relevant to our industry, so here it is. If nothing else, it may give the folks at a few discovery processing software companies a few ideas.
