SEATTLE — Jan. 29, 2008 — Attenex Corp., a leading e-discovery software provider, today announced that is has received a ‘positive’ rating in a recent Gartner MarketScope report.1 The report, which provides an overview of the e-discovery and litigation market landscape, assessed 29 e-discovery vendors across the various steps as highlighted in the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Vendors were judged on a range of issues including product features, understanding of the market and customer references. Additionally, the report forecasts that the e-discovery market will grow by 35% annually until 2011.
“Attenex is a proven software provider for corporations and law firms that want to better manage and control the risks and expense of e-discovery and document review,” said Mike Kinnaman, vice president of marketing for Attenex. “We’re honored to be recognized with this ‘positive’ rating. Attenex and the global Attenex Advantage partner network continue to raise the bar for greater legal review productivity and cost reduction by enabling corporations and their law firms to develop proactive e-discovery strategies for litigation, investigations and regulatory response.”
Attenex® Patterns® E-Discovery Software, one of the top e-discovery software applications in the market according to the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann E-Discovery Survey, dramatically reduces the time and cost of the most expensive process within e-discovery: legal document review. Attenex Patterns processes and de-dupes the data set, in some cases up to 80 percent, and then utilizes visual analytics to present legal review teams with a faster, more efficient and less costly method to review the data. Attenex offers IT and legal departments with white papers, case studies and Webinars on best practices for e-discovery at the Attenex Website, www.attenex.com.
