Symantec issued this press release today on its new "connectors" approach for third-party case management, review, analytics,
forensics
and desktop collection tools.  Enterprise Vault is widely deployed and there is pretty consistent pain around getting at the records you have so diligently saved.  We integrated to Enterprise Vault several years ago (v5.0 I believe) to provide policy-based classification and tagging as email records get archived (prior to ingestion). Adding meta-data to records as they are saved and using that additional information during retrieval now with a variety of supported third-part vendor tools is great news for EV customers.
