Volume-Based, Case-Based or Software-as-a-Service Options Support Law Firms,
Service Providers and Forensic Accountants Requirements
MCLEAN, Va.--(Business Wire)--
ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced
it now offers its award-winning ZyIMAGE e-Discovery and Production platform in
three flexible and affordable "pay as you go" options in addition to its
standard in-house perpetual license agreement. The new licensing models -
volume-based, case-based or engaging ZyLAB to host the solution via their
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) option - are focused on supporting law firms,
service providers and forensic accountants in addition to corporate and
government entities. 

Organizations in need of an e-discovery solution can now implement ZyIMAGE
without having to undergo lengthy on-site implementation process or worry about
any significant up-front costs. The ZyLAB "Pay as you go" pricing model allows
organizations to decide case-by-case the most pragmatic and cost-effective way
to deploy the ZyIMAGE eDiscovery and Production Platform. The three options
include:

* Volume-Based Licensing is determined by the amount of data (in gigabytes)
processed with the ZyIMAGE e-Discovery and Production platform and the amount of
users that are needed for reviewing the processed data. Customers can use this
type of licensing for cases of varying size. 
* Case-Based Licensing enables organizations to purchase licenses for a certain
case or project. The license is valid for the duration of the case - regardless
of the case length or volume processed. 
* SaaS allows users to implement the ZyIMAGE eDiscovery and Production Platform
without having to purchase, install and maintain software and servers. This
low-risk option includes 24/7 support, scalability to support high volumes of
data and many concurrent users, and importantly, access to mission critical data
at any time.

"These pay-as-you-go licensing models allow customers to deploy our e-discovery
solution to meet their specific requirements without long-term commitments or
heavy investments," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB North America
LLC. "A recent industry analyst report notes that spending on e-discovery
software technologies and services offerings is forecast to grow between 25-35%
annually through 2012. We believe that by offering numerous cost-effective
licensing options that ZyLAB will capture a significant market share." 

The ZyIMAGE eDiscovery and Production Platform offers organizations an
integrated e-discovery management solution that captures, investigates,
structures and discloses information in a simple, secure and efficient manner.
The solution is built on a stable 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.
