ZyLAB Positioned in Research Firm's Leaders Quadrant for Information Access Technology, 2008
ZyIMAGE Information Access Platform Offers Complete XML-Based System to Provide Users Secure Foundation for Long-term Archiving, Management and Retrieval of Information
McLean, VA - October 06, 2008 - ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced that Gartner Inc., a research and advisory firm, positioned ZyLAB in the "Leaders" quadrant in its Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology, 2008.**
According to the Gartner report, "All the Leaders demonstrate significant architectural flexibility. They also have strong, innovative and broad means of determining the relevancy of results returned to users, and of providing developers with the tools and the flexibility to tune relevancy settings. They have the finances to weather hard times and sufficient resources to invest in both organic and inorganic technology and business growth. They also have enough depth and strength to serve as platform vendors whose software can be used to solve most information access problems."*
The ZyIMAGE Information Access Platform (IAP) is a complete XML-based system that provides a robust foundation for the archiving and long-term management of organizations' critical information assets, including digitized paper documents, electronic files, e-mail and attachments, and multimedia. The IAP's comprehensive core technology enables users to find, access, and organize specific data through a standard browser in a quick, easy, and secure fashion. Users can add additional modules to create the exact, cost-effective solution they require for specific types of projects or business processes including records management, e-discovery, email archiving, knowledge management and workflow.
"We are pleased to be included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant as it provides neutral, third-party validation of our information access technology as well as our vision," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB North America LLC. "We have been in business for 25 years and have worked hard to continuously create a broad array of innovative information access solutions that meet the needs of our clients. Our IAP is built as a flexible and open solution to meet the unique needs of our customers across both commercial and government markets."
The report notes that "This Magic Quadrant assesses vendors with capabilities that go beyond enterprise search to encompass a range of technologies. Their capabilities include search; federated search, content classification, categorization and clustering; fact and entity extraction; taxonomy creation and management; information presentation (for example, visualization) to support analysis and understanding; and desktop search to address user-controlled repositories in order to locate and "invoke" documents, data, e-mail and intelligence."
