-- Analysis: Improved user interface and analysis tools. Kazeon eMail
thread management links related email messages to provide a complete
chronology of entire email discussions, including replies, forwards, CCs
and BCCs. Thread viewing quickly identifies all relevant aspects of the
discussion, showing who knew what and when they knew it. Through Kazeon's
search interface, users can quickly and effectively evaluate ESI to analyze
content based on summary and detail reports, metadata analysis, key
players, strings, key topics and other subject matter. Users may then take
an appropriate action directly from the search interface.
-- Collection: Kazeon provides unique Single Step Collection™
technology that allows extremely rapid, targeted collections of ESI for
review and analysis. Kazeon enables companies to conduct targeted
collections to address very specific matters, as well as broad collections
of ESI from multiple sources and locations. Kazeon retains ESI in its
native format and users can easily apply litigation hold to documents and
emails, copying ESI to a secure location only accessible by authorized
users.
-- Preservation: Legal hold features ensure that ESI is protected from
destruction and alterations. Kazeon gives users features to architect
defensible preservation protocols using either "staging areas" for
litigation holds and initiating in-place holds. Kazeon's extensible
technology also allows companies to leverage their existing investments to
secure ESI to compliant storage devices and archive applications such as
Symantec Enterprise Vault, Plasmon UDO Archive, NetApp Snaplock and EMC
Centera.
-- Processing: To help narrow the scope and cull ESI, Kazeon provides a
set of pre-configured report templates and an advanced search interface.
Kazeon has extensive duplicate management features, including de-
duplication of content during the collection process to reduce over-
collection. Additionally, Kazeon can de-duplicate during the processing &
culling phase by enabling "Smart Tagging" to eliminate identical, non-
responsive documents in bulk without having to individually tag and
eliminate them. Users can quickly run summary and detailed reports against
the information, quickly identifying duplicates and unnecessary documents
and emails based on reports and search, including: advanced, fuzzy,
proximity, custodian, date range, keyword and concept searches utilizing
multiple search terms. Because the Kazeon interface allows users to take
action on data, users can easily and safely remove duplicate and
unnecessary information from the collected data set directly from the
report and search interface.
-- eMail Support: Kazeon now has the broadest set of eMail capabilities
in support of customer eDiscovery requirements, including native
connectivity to Microsoft Exchange servers, Microsoft Exchange and SMTP-
based Internet eMail journals, PST, OST, MSG and EML files and native
connectivity to Symantec Enterprise Vault archives.
Combined with the Information Server's existing features, Kazeon's
customers have the lowest price per document and price per terabyte for
eDiscovery requests in the industry. According to a recent ESG Lab test,
Kazeon's Information Server provides a price per document ratio at less
than a penny per document and the ability to crawl, index and search at
$4,300 per terabyte.
The new eDiscovery capabilities of Kazeon complement partner solutions,
such as Atlas from PSS Systems, by automating execution of holds and
retention policies on distributed data.
"Kazeon is the most refreshingly powerful entrant to the legal discovery
market in years," said Richard Davis, Managing Director of Litigation
Logistics, LLC. "The Information Access and data classification
capabilities of the Kazeon Information Server represent the Holy Grail of
eDiscovery. It's a single investment solution that can be leveraged by
in-house counsel, records retention managers, internal auditors and profit
centers for a host of different initiatives -- this isn't just litigation
cost containment, it's enterprise cost containment."
"eDiscovery is not driven solely by litigation. It also includes
Information Security & Privacy, Regulatory Compliance, Corporate
Investigations and more," said Sudhakar Muddu, CEO of Kazeon. "Kazeon has
delivered a product that enables customers to easily and cost effectively
implement solutions to a broad range of eDiscovery challenges."
