SEATTLE — March 22, 2007 — Attenex Corp., a leading e-discovery software provider, today announced that it has won the ‘best business product of the year’ award from the WSA. The annual award, presented last evening at the Industry Achievement Awards gala event in Seattle, is selected by a panel of technology industry veterans and recognizes the top Washington State software product that delivers the highest value to businesses and demonstrates a high level of technical innovation.
“We’re honored to win the best business product of the year award from the Washington Software Association,” said Kimra Hawley, CEO of Attenex. “As more corporations bring e-discovery software in-house to take control of their discovery process, we believe we are well-positioned to lead this growing industry. This is a very exciting time in our company’s growth and to be recognized in this way is a tremendous validation of our software and our team.”
Attenex offers the Attenex® Patterns® E-Discovery Platform, a technical foundation on which corporations can integrate e-discovery into their overall data management strategy and keep control of the e-discovery process, even when discrete steps in the process are outsourced to law firms or service providers. The company’s patented and industry-leading technology helps corporate legal departments more cost-effectively and accurately manage the complete e-discovery process. The Attenex Patterns open Application Programming Interface (API) and software development kit (SDK) enable corporations to easily integrate Attenex Patterns with other applications as well as automate the loading of data, reducing time, expense and risk in the process. Current Attenex Patterns corporate customers are reducing their cost of e-discovery while integrating the application with leading network storage, email archiving software and enterprise content management (ECM) offerings.
