MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - October 20, 2008) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider
of intelligent Information Management and eDiscovery solutions, today
announced the availability of new federation, unified analysis and review
capabilities for its eDiscovery solution. This capability is available in
the Information Center product, which provides enterprise-wide eDiscovery
deployment, faster eDiscovery, improved accuracy and a dramatic reduction
in analysis and review workloads by performing these functions in-place and
from a single console. Information Center is designed for global
enterprises with distributed locations to reduce eDiscovery costs by
avoiding massive data transfers across wide area networks or shipping
physical disk drives between locations and greatly minimizing management
overhead. It provides a unified view of targeted and relevant documents for
eDiscovery analysis and review, and further, allows corporations to execute
and manage in-place legal hold, using KazHold™, from a central location,
no matter where the data resides.
Information Management needs are becoming increasingly difficult to manage
with the growth in distributed network environments. This growth has been
coupled with the demands placed on enterprises by FRCP and other compliance
and security requirements. Until the introduction of Kazeon's Information
Center product, enterprises have been faced with bringing data over WANs
and creating network resource bottlenecks or physically shipping drives
between locations and then loading them back into the network for
processing. This is a high-cost and high-touch model. Further, for
early-case assessment and first-pass review, corporations do not have the
ability to interleave search results for analysis from various locations
and often produce inaccurate and incomplete results. Kazeon eliminates
these problems and provides very effective federated analysis and review
capabilities for finding all material data across large data sets.
Using Information Center's federated eDiscovery capabilities, enterprises
can now collect, preserve, hold, analyze and review content across the
enterprise while staying within the firewall for access by inside as well
as outside counsel. No data needs to be moved until both counsels have
accomplished first-pass review and jointly decided which data is material
or relevant to the case matter. This light-weight yet accurate and
defensible process enables quick early-case assessments for general
counsels as well as defensible and accurate decision-making. Further,
third-party legal hosting service providers' roles can be greatly minimized
in the process of staging and sending data outside the enterprise, thereby
cutting corporations' eDiscovery costs significantly.
Kazeon's federated eDiscovery solution provides the following benefits to
customers:
-- Unified and federated eDiscovery
-- In-place Analysis and Review for distributed locations of global
corporations
-- Early-case assessment and first-pass review across remote offices and
branch offices
-- Dramatic reduction in eDiscovery review costs; elimination of
unnecessary data movement and hence reduction in network load and impact on
network bandwidth resources
-- Distributed search across enterprises; using relevancy to order and
interleave results without redundancies for further review, analytics and
workflow
-- Central eDiscovery workflow of legal hold using KazHold™
-- Automated, policy-based tagging and review for legal professionals
within a central console
"With Kazeon's Information Center, an enterprise-wide deployment of an
information management and eDiscovery system is feasible and inexpensive,"
said Karthik Kannan, Kazeon's VP of Marketing and Business Development.
"While other vendors are resorting to physically shipping storage and
drives between locations or using expensive network transfer of terabytes
of data over wide area networks and still fall short on relevant and
accurate analysis and review, Kazeon is able to offer affordable,
accurate, defensible and easy-to-manage federated eDiscovery for
corporations."
