January 6th, 2010 - EMC SourceOne eDiscovery – Kazeon achieved a “Positive” rating for the Third Year in a Row in Gartner’s MarketScope for E-Discovery Product Vendors authored by analysts, Debra Logan, Whit Andrews and John Bace.

EMC has revolutionized its position in the e-discovery market. In April 2009, with the release of SourceOne for archiving, with additional e-discovery management modules, the company made it clear that it was serious about the e-discovery and information governance markets. The recently closed acquisition of Kazeon to cover the identification, collection and legal-hold capabilities outside the archive will enable EMC to compete against the most capable vendors in the e- discovery market. EMC’s Documentum product family, which includes RM, is widely deployed in heavily regulated industries, the same industries most in need of end-to-end e-discovery capabilities. EMC’s acquisition of Kazeon is confirmation of the trend that e-discovery must become part of infrastructure vendors’ offerings, as enterprises seek short-term tactical solutions to their most pressing e-discovery issues, along with a longer-term strategy of better information governance. EMC has a solution that covers information management through processing and that allows for early case assessment. Along with its worldwide sales and marketing teams, which include a unique legal and technology sales team, EMC is now a formidable competitor in the e- discovery market. EMC is rated in “Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Active Archiving” and “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management,” Kazeon is rated in “Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology,” and EMC’s RM product is covered in “MarketScope for Records Management.” EMC was not formally rated in last year’s MarketScope, while Kazeon was rated as Positive.
