ZyLAB to Showcase Latest e-Discovery Technology Innovations at LegalTech West
ZyIMAGE e-Discovery Suite and New Modules for PST-to-XML, Deduplication and Culling on Display; Enables Cost-Effective In-House e-Discovery
McLean, VA - June 22, 2009 - ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced it will showcase its ZyIMAGE e-Discovery suite and several new modules for helping organizations audit and keep detailed records of their in-house e-discovery process at this week's annual LegalTech West event taking place June 24-25 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The company's sales and engineering team based out of the recently opened San Francisco office will be on hand to give product demonstrations. Opened in April of this year, the office is located at:
425 Market Street, Suite 2200, San Francisco, California 94105. The phone number is: 415-912-2899
The ZyIMAGE e-Discovery suite offers organizations an integrated solution that captures, searches, structures and discloses information in a simple, secure and efficient manner. The solution is built on a scaleable XML data repository and provides users with investigative tools to search, retrieve and archive vital information through a standard Internet browser. All unstructured data is stored for as long as it's needed, and integrated functionalities enable users to capture and add new data, analyze and collaborate on the data, redact specific pieces of information (if required), and retrieve and share files. Because of its modular structure, ZyIMAGE is completely scalable and therefore provides a solution to address organizational requirements at both departmental and enterprise-wide levels.
On display, ZyLAB will demonstrate its linear legal review tool, 100 percent accessible through a standard Web browser, which significantly improves review accuracy, decreases the amount of time typically needed for native-file review and expedites the overall process. ZyLAB will also have its legal hold tool on display to help organizations automate the traditional cumbersome process of preserving all forms of relevant information when litigation is reasonably anticipated. In addition, the new modules ZyLAB will showcase include:
- The ZyIMAGE PST-to-XML Module is critical to the e-discovery process. This new PST-to-XML Module allows a user to extract items from a Microsoft Outlook PST file and save them as either .msg or .rtf files with the help of XML wrappers, which store the properties of the Microsoft Outlook item. These files can be imported into the ZyIMAGE Legal Review Platform. Users can then easily search all e-mail files and attachments.
- The ZyIMAGE Deduplication Module is used to find duplicate files that exist in a single ZyIMAGE Index, or across a series of ZyIMAGE Indexes. The duplicate files can be deleted, marked, moved or copied. This is important due to the growing amount of electronic data in corporations, particularly for those corporations who have had overly-broad or non-existent record retention policies. Out of this data growth, Deduplication has become a vital element of e-discovery.
- Data culling is the act of reducing a large document population to a smaller set according to a defined set of criteria. The ZyIMAGE Culling Module is used to filter chosen file types from source folders and copy or move them to specified target folders where they will be automatically processed. The ZyIMAGE Culling Module enables users to filter by data groups, add and modify datagroups, create XML wrappers, add extra meta data, post-process image files, uncompress files and create reports.
ZyLAB is also actively involved with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) Project to share best practices for managing the e-discovery processes, from the initial management of electronically stored information all the way to the ultimate presentation of that information. The reference model provides a common, flexible and extensible framework for the development, selection, evaluation and use of electronic discovery products and services.
