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."
