Kazeon Placed in 2007 Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - October 30, 2007) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, today announced that it has been included in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology, 2007 authored by Whit Andrews. Gartner analyzed Kazeon's Information Access platform and Information Server product line which enable companies to search, classify and act on electronically stored information for eDiscovery. Kazeon was included in the Information Access Technology Magic Quadrant based on its ability to execute and completeness of vision.

Kazeon's flagship product, the Kazeon Information Server IS1200-ECS, is the industry's first to integrate the eDiscovery functions of identification, collection, preservation, processing and analysis of electronically stored information, which are the fundamental foundations for eDiscovery. Kazeon is also the first company to deliver eDiscovery solutions in response to litigation, information security and privacy, corporate investigations and regulatory compliance by using an Information Access technology platform. The approach of using Kazeon's Information Access platform for eDiscovery enables companies engaged in reactive litigation or proactive eDiscovery to secure sensitive information, rapidly perform early case assessments and to more effectively comply with the amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). Kazeon's solutions are used by more than 150 companies across the globe.

"This Magic Quadrant includes vendors with capabilities that go beyond enterprise search to encompass a collection of technologies, including: search; content classification, categorization and clustering," according to the Gartner report.

Gartner also comments in a related July 2007 report, 'Choosing an E-Discovery Solution in 2007 and 2008,' "A key differentiator in the e-discovery market will be a vendor's ability to identify, collect and process data for discovery. This gives the information access and search vendors a strong play."

"Information access technology is the fundamental foundation for eDiscovery solutions and we think Kazeon's inclusion in Gartner's Information Access Magic Quadrant shows the strength and reputation that Kazeon has built in the industry," said Steven d'Alencon, Kazeon Vice President of Product Marketing. "Kazeon is one of the few eDiscovery vendors to use Information Access technology to provide eDiscovery solutions for litigation support, information security and compliance using the same underlying technology platform. This approach helps companies achieve higher relevancy, more predictable costs and faster turnaround."
