ZyLAB’s eDiscovery & Production System Selected to KMWorld’s Trend Setting Product List of 2010

System Empowers IT and Legal Departments to Efficiently Manage the Most Expensive and Tedious Elements of Litigation In-house with Automated Tools

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZyLAB, a leading provider of e-discovery and information management solutions, today announced that its eDiscovery & Production System has been named to KMWorld Magazine’s “Trend Setter” list for 2010. This end-to-end e-discovery software platform is ideally suited for law firms, corporations and legal service providers to help address key aspects of e-discovery, from information management to publishing discovery data into document or litigation management software. The ZyLAB eDiscovery & Production System delivers the industry’s highest quality archiving, searching and retrieving capabilities, plus it ensures users follow a defensible and repeatable process for e-discovery and e-disclosure.

“As we wrote in our July issue, e-discovery is integral to the enterprise in this day and age of increased regulation and litigation. ZyLAB’s solution clearly demonstrates identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve their customers requirements.”

The ZyLAB eDiscovery and Production System is built around a non-proprietary XML data repository that unifies 700+ file formats and multiple file sources, including e-mail servers, Microsoft SharePoint, databases, as well as ECM, CRM and ERP systems. The ZyLAB system automates key steps of the legal hold, preservation and collection work, and its robust processing tools help customers dramatically reduce their legal review expenses by systematically removing irrelevant and duplicate information from the review population. Additionally, the ZyLAB system makes it easy for outside counsel to securely login to review the relevant information. Customers are able to accelerate case analysis and document review, as well as automatically accomplish some of the discovery work in-house, thereby allowing them to maintain control and minimize costs.

“This year, more than 600 products were assessed by our judging panel, which consists of editorial colleagues, analysts, system integrators, vendors themselves, line-of-business managers and users,” said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld Editor-In-Chief. “As we wrote in our July issue, e-discovery is integral to the enterprise in this day and age of increased regulation and litigation. ZyLAB’s solution clearly demonstrates identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve their customers requirements.”

ZyLAB offers one of few solutions shown to fully address all 8 of the core elements of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), the recognized standard for e-discovery practices. For the Presentation phase of the EDRM, ZyLAB integrates with the best-of-breed trial presentation products.

“Having an independent judging panel select our e-discovery technology as ‘trend setting’, coupled with leading industry analyst firms giving us the highest possible ratings, and being backed by a large and diverse customer base speaks volumes for our industry and technology leadership,” said Johannes C. Scholtes, Chief Strategy Officer at ZyLAB. “Most companies are just now jumping into the market but ZyLAB has been working alongside professionals in the litigation, auditing, security and intelligence communities for a quarter of a century developing the best products for investigating and managing large sets of archived data. We are honored to be recognized by KMWorld.”

The full list of trend setting products will appear in the upcoming September issue of KMWorld Magazine (www.KMWorld.com).
