In Addition, Five of the Top Twenty Service Providers Use Attenex Software, Further Positioning the Company as the Industry Leader for Flexible, Proven E-Discovery Solutions
SEATTLE — June 26, 2007 — Attenex Corp., a leading e-discovery software provider, today announced that it has been named a top five e-discovery software provider for the second straight year in the influential 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. Attenex was named as a top five leader in a variety of software categories, and five Attenex Advantage™ partners were listed in the top 20 of service providers in the e-discovery industry. In total, these results indicate the effectiveness of the Attenex® Patterns® E-Discovery Software and the company’s growth potential in an industry poised for double-digit growth. Additional statistics and findings from the Socha-Gelbmann survey will be available in the August edition of Law Technology News.
“Attenex is very excited to be recognized as a top five e-discovery software provider for the second year in a row,” said Mike Kinnaman, vice president of marketing for Attenex. “With over six years of R&D behind Attenex Patterns, these survey results underscore the effectiveness of our software as well as the unmatched expertise of our legal service provider partners.”
The survey named Attenex as a top five vendor in nine different categories, including overall e-discovery software, software for corporations, software for law firms and quality of software. In addition to the vendor rankings, the survey forecasts a period of aggressive industry growth, which is driven in large part by an increased demand for electronic information by regulatory agencies and developments such as the recently amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).
Corporations seeking to take more direct control of the discovery process during litigation, investigations and regulatory compliance have used Attenex Patterns E-discovery Software to reduce the cost and risk associated with e-discovery. The Attenex Patterns software helps rapidly identify relevant content and thereby preserve valuable time and money for case strategy and preparation. The software can be deployed on-premise, in a hosted environment managed by an Attenex Advantage partner, or in a custom combination tailored to the demands of the customer’s environment.
The annual Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey, developed by e-discovery pioneers George Socha and Tom Gelbmann, provides the most comprehensive view into the emerging e-discovery market. The survey comprises data from 115 organizations on the forefront of e-discovery, including leading law firms and Fortune 1000 inside counsel.
