Kazeon Introduces 'Pay As You Go' eDiscovery Pricing Model

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - January 20, 2009) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, has introduced three new 'pay as you go' pricing models that augment their current standard software licensing option. The new pricing models enable customers to implement an eDiscovery solution that does not require a major financial investment or multi-month rollout. The new pricing models allow customers to plan their eDiscovery investments based on legal case matters, and provide customers and partners a wide range of options to manage eDiscovery challenges affordably and quickly.

The new pricing options signal Kazeon's increasing focus on litigation support professionals, service providers, law firms and legal consultants in addition to the existing focus on corporations, thereby embracing the entire eDiscovery ecosystem.

"In these tough economic times, capital budget outlays have high hurdles to overcome," says Vivian Tero, Program Manager, Compliance Infrastructure, IDC. "The Kazeon 'pay as you go' pricing model should appeal to corporations, law firms, and service providers facing budget constraints."

Kazeon's new pricing models include:

1. Term-based license: One-year or multi-year annual subscription pricing, providing eDiscovery software licenses for various legal case matters;

2. Usage-based license: Per GB pricing, providing eDiscovery software licenses for legal case matters of varying magnitudes;

3. Case-based license: Per case pricing, providing eDiscovery software licenses for legal cases or projects.

Kazeon's solution takes a case-oriented approach to managing eDiscovery for legal matters. Such case-oriented management is particularly important in environments containing multiple legal matters in order to perform effective and defensible collection, legal hold, analysis and review for each matter.

"The goal of expanding pricing and licensing options for eDiscovery is to allow more customers and partners to leverage Kazeon's eDiscovery software for litigation support needs as well as to significantly lower the barrier to entry for corporations, law firms and service providers alike," said Karthik Kannan, VP of Marketing and Business Development. "Kazeon's 'pay as you go' model allows customers to start small and grow their eDiscovery software and infrastructure investments as their needs grow; eDiscovery no longer needs to be a multi-million dollar undertaking or cost several thousands of dollars per project to get started."

Kazeon's award-winning flagship software product provides superior eDiscovery capabilities for customers. Kazeon is the first in the industry to offer agent-less, in-place Early Case Assessment, analysis & review, and legal hold management capabilities for eDiscovery.
