ZyLAB assists FBI in ENRON investigation

Over 2,000,000 paper pages are made full-text searchable with ZyIMAGE

McLean, VIRGINIA, April 4, 2003 - ZyLAB North America LLC, a leading provider of advanced document management and full-text retrieval software, today announced that the company is assisting the FBI in the ENRON investigation.

Specifically, the FBI is now using ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE product suite to analyze and search for vital information in more than 2,000,000 pages of hard-copy documentation. Over 100 GB of E-mail files and over 100 GB electronic Microsoft Office documents will soon be made searchable as well.

ZyIMAGE's award winning and powerful search engine allows these immense data collections to be searched by using unique keywords or combinations of words, similar to an Internet search engine. In addition, data can be organized, annotated, indexed or marked for later use.

"The FBI uses ZyIMAGE in order to analyze data obtained in the ENRON investigation" says Teele Horstra, managing director of ZyLAB North America LLC. "ZyLAB has provided the FBI Special Agents in the Houston Field Office with several ZyIMAGE licenses and special support services in order to parallel process this very large collection of paper in record time. Almost 250,000 pages per day were processed automatically with the ZyIMAGE software. We are proud of the results."

Over the past eight years, the FBI has been an extensive user of the ZyLAB solutions. In several high-profile cases such as the Oklahoma City bombing, Ruby Ridge, and the Yosemite Park murders, the FBI relied on ZyLAB products as key components to its investigations.
