ZyLAB Positioned in Research Firm’s Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology, 2005

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

October 21, 2005 – Vienna, VA – ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced that Gartner, a leading technology research and advisory firm, positioned ZyLAB in the “Challenger” quadrant in its Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology, 2005.* This Magic Quadrant report focuses on vendors that excel in search-related functions, as well as emphasizes that other functionality is required to get to the information people are after and deliver it in a form that supports their companies’ business goals.

Information access technology includes and expands on what Gartner previously called “enterprise search technology.” Most vendors in this market have capabilities that go beyond search to encompass a collection of technologies, including search; content classification, categorization and clustering; fact and entity extraction; taxonomy creation and management; information presentation to support analysis and understanding; and desktop search to address user-controlled repositories to locate and invoke documents, data, e-mail, and intelligence.

ZyLAB’s ZyIMAGE offers organizations advanced technology for storing, searching, and retrieving millions of pages of data, whether it’s paper, e-mail and attachments, or any other type of electronic file. Building on this foundation, ZyLAB completes its suite of business solutions with innovative, secure and affordable software for archiving e-mail and electronic files, as well as tools supporting workflow, case management, contract management, document management and records management. The open technology and modular construction enables ZyLAB to configure solutions that fit customers’ specific needs and budgets.

“We believe that Gartner’s recognition of ZyLAB is further evidence of the tremendous momentum we have obtained during the past 24 months,” said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB. “Our focus on innovation and executing on our product roadmap is supported by the significant quarter-over-quarter increase of our customer base. We deliver truly revolutionary information access solutions that validate and further enhance our market position.”
