Vision & Strategy

Kazeon revolutionizes the way companies perform Information Management by using the Information Server software to intelligently discover, search & index, classify and perform workflow action on all electronically stored information. Kazeon's vision is to have Information Management be the ubiquitous means of discovering, analyzing and managing information across an enterprise. Information Management needs to be as fundamental and enterprise-wide as databases or network switches in the IT infrastructure of corporations. Kazeon offers a wide range of applications within an enterprise using a single, underlying Information Management technology. Key applications that face Information Management challenges are proactive eDiscovery, reactive eDiscovery, information security and privacy, corporate investigations, regulatory compliance and data management.

Some of the key challenges facing corporations are:

• Inability to find all information across the expanses of the enterprise
• Lack of efficient means to discover, analyze and manage different applications (all types of data)
• Complexity in automating end-to-end processes that do not require data movement or proliferation of multiple copies of data – actions which consume extra storage, increase liability, and cause end-user productivity loss.

Heterogeneous data sources — email, files and other content from servers, laptops/desktops storage systems

Kazeon's award-winning and patented software solution, the Information Server, has been built ground-up for providing robust, high performing and infinitely scaling Information Management capabilities across an enterprise no matter what types of data exist. This next generation technology is built on a single software platform which seamlessly integrates across all its functionality and requires no onsite assembly. The Information Server works within the firewall at a corporation and builds a dynamic index while keeping data intact, in-place – no expensive and potentially corrupting data movement or copying is necessary unlike expensive Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. The Information Server works on existing Ethernet networks, out-of-band, and is completely agent-less. It has been proven repeatedly for it's full-functionality, and superior performance and scalability.

The Information Server consists of several applications for corporations, service providers and law firms. eDiscovery is a key application that is being used by customers worldwide. The eDiscovery application consists of game-changing capabilities for discovery, in-place analysis, targeted collection, preservation, processing, in-depth analysis and first-pass review. These in-house capabilities provide more control to the corporation, and allow them to outsource fewer processes and more targeted data to outside counsel or other vendors. Further, the Information Server software allows targeted legal hold, KazHold™, of key data as soon as it is identified as potentially relevant or material to an investigation.

Kazeon's key strengths that differentiate it from the other players in the marketplace are:

1. Information Management: first to deliver complete eDiscovery, Security and Data Management solutions in a single server
2. High scalability and performance: allows customers to access and manage information across the enterprise quickly and at very low costs.
3. Efficient, enterprise-wide coverage: ability to cover multiple and dispersed geographical locations of enterprises (data centers, remote offices, laptops/desktops etc.), and the ability to access and manage different data sources within an enterprise (emails, PSTs, OSTs, content repositories, files etc.)
4. No overhead and no agents: in-place analysis without agents, non-disruptive and out-of-band processing, and dynamic index without multiple data copies
5. Rich functionality and workflow: detailed policies and rules, fast search, automatic classification, data migration and archival, rich auditing and defensibility, and complete reporting

As a leader in the Information Management space, Kazeon is extending into Cloud Computing offerings and advanced Business Intelligence (BI) and Analytics. Kazeon can help organizations adapt with changing enterprise needs. Similar to corporations, cloud computing vendors will face similar problems – eDiscovery, compliance, data management etc. and the Information Server is poised to help them solve these problems in very cost-effective, high-performing and scalable ways. Kazeon predicts that Business Intelligence and Analytics will be extensively used by line of business users and Information Management will be a key growth area in IT infrastructure going forward and will be a distinct part of IT as well as line of business budgets.
