Kazeon Introduces New Services for Early Case and Risk Assessments

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - February 5, 2008) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, today announced the availability of its Early Case and Risk Assessment Services. The new service offerings enable legal and IT departments to dramatically reduce the time it takes to retrieve information and to provide enterprises with a clear view into all of their potential risk areas. Through these services, enterprises will gain valuable insight into the state of their PCI, HIPAA, GLBA and SOX compliance efforts while dramatically improving their ability to meet FRCP guidelines for eDiscovery.

Kazeon's Early Case and Risk Assessment services help companies evaluate legal matters, risk levels and risk factors and automate business processes, based on customer-specific rules and policies. These assessments include in-depth search, identification, collection, preservation, processing and first-pass analysis and review of electronically stored information (ESI). As a result, companies can address active legal matters faster and more efficiently and support more proactive IT security management policies.

Leveraging the Kazeon Information Server, these services provide customers with a starting point for indexing, classifying and managing ESI to quickly address pressing, active legal matters that demand rapid retrieval of responsive ESI for early case assessments or to ensure that sensitive, business-critical or confidential information residing on corporate networks is identified and managed. The Kazeon Information Server creates a legally defensible audit trail of actions and can also build the foundation for a proactive "eDiscovery-ready" environment.

"Kazeon services help companies to put corporate, IT and legal polices into practice by leveraging the Kazeon Information Access Platform, Information Server and industry best practices," said Ellis Ishaya, Kazeon vice president of service and support. "These services not only provide customers with visibility into their potential risk areas, but more importantly, we help them to take action on this information."

In addition to services delivered by Kazeon, the Kazeon products and technology are designed for certified partners to use in the delivery of eDiscovery, Information Security & Privacy and Governance, Risk & Compliance services to customers.

"Evolving Solutions has used the Kazeon Information Server to deliver PCI and GLBA risk assessment services to a major financial institution in Minneapolis," said Jaime Gmach, president of Evolving Solutions. "We were able to deliver comprehensive information on the security of their data, make recommendations and provide them with validation of their corporate policies through meaningful reports."

"Delve Information Group helps to proactively clean-up and categorize corporate content before litigation occurs. To effectively find the needle in the haystack, it helps to get rid of the hay and Kazeon helps us do that," said Brian Tuemmler, Founding Partner of Delve Information Group. "The obvious beneficiaries are litigation support staff, but also IT, records management and the bottom line."

Kazeon recently introduced version 3 of the Information Server and Information Center product lines. Version 3 provides a full spectrum of proactive and reactive eDiscovery solutions in response to litigation, information security and privacy, corporate investigations, regulatory compliance and storage consolidation requirements. The Kazeon Information Server software automates eDiscovery functions from identification through processing, first-pass review and analysis. With independent benchmark verification, Kazeon version 3 delivers an industry-leading cost per gigabyte of $4.30 to process ESI in preparation for eDiscovery matters and the industry's highest performance for full content indexing at 47MB/sec. Kazeon's performance re-writes the industry standard of $1500-$2000 per gigabyte of current solutions.

Version 3 contains several industry firsts, including targeted Single Step Collection, native connectivity to live Microsoft Exchange servers, integrated eMail threading for first-pass review and analysis, and federated searching, reporting and management for distributed enterprises. Kazeon's Information Server has been specifically designed to enable companies to significantly shorten the time it takes to identify, collect, process and analyze electronically stored information (files and eMail), thereby curtailing unnecessary eDiscovery costs. Kazeon's version 3 capabilities enable companies in every industry sector to use the Information Server to lower everyday eDiscovery management costs by up to 80 percent.
