LiveOffice Achieves Top 10 Ranking in 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey
TORRANCE, Calif., July 30, 2008 — LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS), email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, announced today that it has been named a top 10 Electronic Discovery Software provider in the prestigious Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. Using LiveOffice's technology, companies are able to rapidly respond to e-discovery requests for emails and attachments without having to search backup tapes and PCs individually.
"With the growing focus on email as evidence, companies facing the prospect of litigation, regulatory actions and internal investigations are looking for more effective ways to organize and search email," said George Socha of Socha Consulting LLC. "Our Identification category recognizes companies who rank highly in this area, based on our analysis of information obtained from 155 organizations that consume or provide electronic discovery services and software."
LiveOffice earned distinction as a top Electronic Discovery Software Provider in the Identification category for its ability to help organizations locate emails and attachments that they may have the legal responsibility to preserve and potentially disclose in a prospective legal proceeding. Plus, LiveOffice's SaaS delivery model means that clients are up and running in hours or days, not the traditional weeks or months required for on-premise deployments, giving legal counsel ample time to review and tag case-relevant emails before meeting with the opposing party.
"No organization can afford to ignore the possibility of being involved in litigation. But for companies already in the midst of litigation, the need for an email archiving solution is often immediate, and they don't have the luxury of waiting weeks or months to deploy an on-premise solution," said Walt Kasha, director of product management for LiveOffice's archiving solutions. "With LiveOffice, organizations can respond quickly to an e-discovery request without suffering painful deployment delays or incurring considerable legal expenses."
The Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey was created by consultants George Socha and Tom Gelbmann and examines the size, scope and growth of the electronic discovery market. The 2008 rankings will appear in the August issue of Law Technology News (http://www.lawtechnews.com/).
