Explorer View is not a document management system. But it is fully compatible with Microsoft’s Windows Explorer and complementary to a DMS.
Explorer View is a quick and easy-to-use preview application that allows you, with a single click, to preview in a secure environment, the contents of any documents, PDF files, PowerPoints, JPEG's, audio and video files or Excel spreadsheets, plus many other file types.
“You can search, copy, print, zoom, rotate or play any file in Windows Explorer using Explorer View (http://www.explorerview.com ), without requiring the original software application. If someone sends you an important piece of evidence, a witness statement, discovery documents and you don’t have the required software application, Explorer View previews it for you,” explained GetData Managing Director, John Hunter.
GetData Software is the developer of computer forensics tool, Mount Image Pro (http://www.mountimage.com), currently used by major law enforcement agencies, law firms, forensic accountants, the FBI and US Secret Service, to view computer data without damaging the integrity of potential evidence.

“It is not uncommon for law firms to have older, or out of date, formats of some applications. Or may not have them at all. WordPerfect, for example. Explorer View allows you to open the document, search, read, copy, paste or print it. Mr. Hunter added.
Play Witness Audio Interviews
“Similarly with audio interviews, video, image or graphics files which may be sent by a client or another law firm. All of these can be opened, played and viewed in a completely secure environment free from virus or spyware contamination,”
Legal practice documents including witness statements, discovery documents, affidavits, contracts, letters, settlement sheets, time recording and fee calculations - more than 100 different application formats can be instantly previewed within this easy to use and time saving utility for law firms.
“It costs much less than a document management system at US$29.95 for a single license or, for example, US$999.00 for 100 PC’s.
“The software can be downloaded for free and trialed for up to 30 days so that partners and staff in the law firm can get a good feel for it and how it can save them time and money in a busy legal practice.”
