Constantine & Aborn (CAAS) Standardizes on Kazeon for Identification, Preservation, and Collection Phases of eDiscovery

Solution Automates Workflow for Documents and Online Backup Archives


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 20, 2007) - LEGALTECH -- Kazeon, a leading provider of enterprise information access solutions, today announced that Constantine & Aborn Advisory Services (CAAS), a legal and information risk management consulting company, has standardized on Kazeon's Information Server IS1200-ECS for the identification, preservation, and collection phases of eDiscovery. The joint solution, which will be showcased at the LegalTech conference June 20-21 (Booth 524), provides the industries most advanced solution to help organizations reduce the time and cost of traditional manual processes of eDiscovery by as much as 90%.

The Kazeon IS1200-ECS is the industry's first product to integrate discovery, classification, search, reporting and action together in one platform to address eDiscovery. The IS1200-ECS is rapidly deployable in a matter of hours and is non-disruptive to users, applications and IT infrastructure and conforms to existing security policies. Within a few hours or days, the IS1200-ECS rapidly indexes many Terabytes of information, representing hundreds of millions of potentially responsive files and emails and culls these data sets down to mere Gigabytes for review and case management, without having to copy or send data to an outside 3rd party. Based upon Kazeon's patent-pending technology, the IS1200-ECS delivers unprecedented productivity, control, and cost savings to legal and IT staff actively managing litigation and investigations within organization.

Kazeon and CAAS first partnered to provide eDiscovery solutions in early 2007. Since that time, the impact of producing information that is "reasonably accessible" has led organizations to deploy in-house solutions so they can respond quickly and drive down costs. When combined with the dramatic growth of information stored online, organizations now need solutions that can search and produce information residing on desktops, laptops, network shares, and within online backup archives. The combination of CAAS' end-to-end discovery process management and Kazeon's indexing, classification and search technology provides legal staff with the means to decrease the time and cost in managing eDiscovery requests by as much as 90 percent.

"Since the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) took effect and announcement of our initial partnership with Kazeon, we have seen a huge increase in interest from our customer-base to utilize Kazeon technology," said CAAS' Director of Litigation Risk Management, Richard Davis. "Our expertise and experience with Kazeon's award-winning technology ensures that organizations identify, produce, and preserve relevant electronically stored information."

"We are pleased that CAAS has standardized on Kazeon for three critical stages of the eDiscovery process," said Tom Thimot, Chief Operating Officer of Kazeon. "Since the introduction of the revised FRCP regulations in December and a number of recent rulings showing the need for stricter compliance, there has been a steady increase in customer requests for IT infrastructure that will automate the eDiscovery process. The combination of CAAS, the leader in eDiscovery management and litigation response planning, and Kazeon uniquely meets that need."
