Our partner EMC recently announced its new data archiving platform, SourceOne. EMC says the new architecture is designed to meet today’s pressing e-discovery and compliance needs. ISYS is pleased to play a key role in this new solution, providing an OEM search solution that serves as the backbone indexing and query engine for archived data. You can read some recent coverage of EMC SourceOne, as well as learn more about the OEM search solution that powers SourceOne’s archive indexing.

If you’re based in New York City or will be attending the New York LegalTech show, we invite you to stop by our booth (#326) for a demonstration of our “ISYS Anywhere” technology.  ISYS is actively developing mobile enterprise access solutions that take advantage of the latest mobile devices, and we’d like to show you the initial implementation of this initiative.

Even better, when you stop by to see ISYS in action on the iPhone, we’ll enter you in our drawing to win an iPod Touch.  The demo on hand will be an instance of ISYS:web searching the email corpus from the Enron case.  You’ll be surprised by the level of insight ISYS offers right out of the box, so stop by and check it out.

The results of the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey were released on Tuesday, and ISYS Search Software once again ranks among the top e-discovery software vendors in multiple categories.  We’re pleased to have placed in the Top 10 in the Preservation, Collection and Analysis categories for 2007 Electronic Discovery Software Providers.

The full rankings will appear in the August issue of Law Technology News .  They also will be posted on LTN’s EDD Update just after midnight on July 22 and, following that, on the Socha Consulting website.

ISYS recently released Version 9 of its industry-leading desktop search software, ISYS:desktop.  With ISYS:desktop 9, we added several enhancements to better address e-discovery requirements.  We invite you to learn more about ISYS:desktop 9 and download a trial version.  You can also read our paper on Enterprise Search for E-Discovery Compliance.

Those who follow ISYS in the UK know that Solcara has been a longtime, valued partner of ours.  Solcara designs federated search technology designed to help organizations better control, manage and locate their digital information.  Recently, Solcara announced its new SolSearch solution, which pairs our indexing technology with Solcara’s federated search capabilities.

Solcara has had considerable success serving the information access and management needs of the legal industry, among other markets.  It helps professionals connect to their know how systems, as well as search and locate vital information that resides across a variety of sources, both internally and externally.  We’re pleased to play a role in these solutions and look forward to continued work with Solcara.

Take a moment to learn more about SolSearch and see what it can do for your organization.  You can also access third-party reporting and analysis from IT Week and over at the Beyond Search blog.

We recently completed the survey for the upcoming 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery report.  It’s the third year we’ve responded, and if ISYS is any barometer for trends, then you’re left to conclude there’s actually something to this e-discovery thing.  Projections are up, the customer base is broader, and our technology (by design) is more directly engineered to answer many of the e-discovery challenges, including advanced search and text analytics. Pure e-discovery vendors would probably agree that the years ahead look good, but we’ll wait and see what Socha-Gelbmann say.

In Part One of our series on enterprise search white papers, we’d like to call your attention to our paper titled “Enterprise Search for E-Discovery Compliance.”  Over at DevCentral in Sydney, we’re busy doubling our capabilities in this space, but the paper itself serves as a good introductory overview on the key e-discovery requirements for search.  As always, we invite your comments.
