ZyLAB Unveils Two New Low-Cost Content Management Suites for E-Mail Management and Legal Productivit

ZyLAB, developer of content management and compliance solutions for paper intensive organizations, announced at FOSE (Booth #2443) the immediate availability of its new ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite and ZyIMAGE Legal Productivity Suite. Both solution offerings start at 10K and provide the right balance of complexity and performance many organizations are now favoring instead of the more traditional and expensive "buy all or nothing" approach pushed by many vendors.
ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite
The ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite offers a smart, scaleable approach so that users can easily integrate it into larger document lifecycle management processes, meaning extra storage is not required and stored information is simple to search for and retrieve. Importantly, users can select the proper scale for their ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite based upon their actual needs: from basic personal searching within an existing records management environment to comprehensive, yet efficient, backup solutions within a broad knowledge management context.
"The ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite is dedicated to simplicity and affordability without any compromising of performance," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. "It does not play off of the intimidation many users feel about handling e-mail, a position that can force users to over-compensate and buy too much of the wrong kind of a solution, particularly in terms of storage."
Key highlights of the ZyIMAGE E-mail Management Suite include:
* A scaleable approach to managing e-mail; users aren't forced to buy monolithic, expensive "just store everything" liability vaults.
* A flexible, open system rather than a rigid, proprietary one.
* The ability for users to search PST files alongside other data, such as electronic and digitized paper documents.
* Expanded capabilities for enforcing policies and tracking procedural breaches (e.g. through automated alerting).
* The flexibility to keep or destroy e-mails based on choice rather than on available mailbox or server space.
* Unique text-mining integration options for even more effective information tracking and retrieval.
* A structure built to integrate easily with existing platforms and specialized (professional) tooling. The ZyIMAGE software adjusts/integrates to what users have in place rather than forcing them to buy huge system upgrades or spend lots of time reprogramming.
ZyIMAGE Legal Productivity Suite
The ZyIMAGE Legal Productivity Suite's key differentiator is its ability to handle paper documents during the entire duration of any case-development process. ZyLAB's unique approach to converting paper into searchable information allows users to treat paper in the same way as electronic files such as MS Word, MS Excel, e-mail, or electronic PDFs. This capability allows users to also use the advanced discovery tools, such as text mining, on paper documents.
Key usability features that drive the performance of the ZyIMAGE Legal Productivity Suite include:
ZyLAB Discovery Tool
The new discovery tool offer users advanced text mining, concept extraction and searching, and transliteration for multi-lingual environments. Users can also automatically relate facts and entities, even if certain relationships are not immediate. These additions save enormous time and cost in the indexing phase.
A flexible array of disclosure features
Legal professionals are constantly faced with finding and organizing large volumes of information -- a time-consuming and expensive process. With ZyLAB's e-disclosure system, a user can efficiently "shop" for relevant documents per case within a comprehensive Web-based repository. After the documents have been located, the user can add them to a "shopping cart," and at the end of a session, all the contents of the cart can be downloaded or printed. Downloaded documents are saved in an open XML format and prints can either be made on paper or to PDF.
Advanced redaction capabilities
Users can further support their disclosure activities with ZyLAB's advanced redaction tool. Redactions are stored with documents, so if redactions are performed on disclosures at different times, the user can automatically see older redactions.
"Before a case goes to court, an enormous amount of unstructured and unorganized electronic and paper data needs to be reviewed and processed by people working on the case," said Scholtes. "Much of the work involves gathering background data as well as organizing and cross-referencing information among legal precedents, court records, testimonies, and so forth. Often, this work is done by hand and within extremely tight deadlines, which can lead to information being missed or incorrectly processed, particularly among legal teams with many members. Both cost effective and easy to use, our legal productivity tools allow legal professionals to improve the way they manage information." 06.04.2005, ZyLAB
