ZyLAB announces new user friendly "Pay as You Go" licensing models for ZyIMAGE e-Discovery and Production Platform
Volume-Based, Case-Based or Software-as-a-Service Options Support Law Firms, Service Providers and Forensic Accountants Requirements
McLean, VA - April 20, 2009 - ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced it now offers its award-winning ZyIMAGE e-Discovery and Production platform in three flexible and affordable "pay as you go" options in addition to its standard in-house perpetual license agreement. The new licensing models - volume-based, case-based or engaging ZyLAB to host the solution via their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) option - are focused on supporting law firms, service providers and forensic accountants in addition to corporate and government entities.
Organizations in need of an e-discovery solution can now implement ZyIMAGE without having to undergo lengthy on-site implementation process or worry about any significant up-front costs. The ZyLAB "Pay as you go" pricing model allows organizations to decide case-by-case the most pragmatic and cost-effective way to deploy the ZyIMAGE eDiscovery and Production Platform.
The three options include:
- Volume-Based Licensing is determined by the amount of data (in gigabytes) processed with the ZyIMAGE e-Discovery and Production platform and the amount of users that are needed for reviewing the processed data. Customers can use this type of licensing for cases of varying size
- Case-Based Licensing enables organizations to purchase licenses for a certain case or project. The license is valid for the duration of the case - regardless of the case length or volume processed
- # SaaS allows users to implement the ZyIMAGE eDiscovery and Production Platform without having to purchase, install and maintain software and servers. This low-risk option includes 24/7 support, scalability to support high volumes of data and many concurrent users, and importantly, access to mission critical data at any time
"These pay-as-you-go licensing models allow customers to deploy our e-discovery solution to meet their specific requirements without long-term commitments or heavy investments," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB North America LLC. "A recent industry analyst report notes that spending on e-discovery software technologies and services offerings is forecast to grow between 25-35% annually through 2012. We believe that by offering numerous cost-effective licensing options that ZyLAB will capture a significant market share."
