NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - February 3, 2009) - At LegalTech® New York, Exterro, the legal
industry's most trusted provider of software solutions for the legal
industry, today unveiled Fusion Genome. Exterro's Fusion Genome is the
first dynamic data mapping solution that allows corporate legal and IT
teams to identify, manage and analyze the life cycle of data sources and
electronically stored information (ESI) comprehensively across an
enterprise, and keeps that information evergreen. Built atop Exterro's
proven Fusion workflow platform, Genome gives companies the automated data
map they need to understand their rapidly evolving information universe.
Now, corporations can have an end-to-end risk assessment and management
solution built on one workflow platform. To view a demonstration of the
solution, stop by booth No. 1711 at LegalTech® New York.
Complex and far-reaching regulations, such as the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure (FRCP), have left corporate legal teams and IT departments
exposed to increased scrutiny. Failure to understand and manage an
enterprise's data landscape puts it at high risk for incurring significant
expenses when responding to regulatory or e-discovery requests. The ad-hoc
and manual management systems largely in place today are inadequate to meet
the increasing demands and responsibility for information. Legal, IT and
records management teams have been looking for a solution that delivers a
company-wide, dynamic data map capable of evolving with an enterprise's
information inventory. Genome delivers the first intelligent-workflow
driven solution to this problem.
"Our Fortune 500 clients' biggest pain points lie in keeping their data
maps current. They often rely on error-prone tribal knowledge to manage a
great number of constantly changing data sources and systems, resulting in
difficulty when implementing regulatory and compliance policies," said
Bobby Balachandran, CEO of Exterro, Inc. "Exterro has worked extensively
with its client base to develop Fusion Genome. Clients anticipate a
one-year ROI of over 500%."
Fusion Genome integrates seamlessly with other enterprise systems such as
HR, matter and asset management systems to address the cross-functional
business topology needed by business owners across an organization. Genome
functions as a standalone solution and also integrates seamlessly with
Fusion Legal Hold and Discovery Workflow Management to provide further time
and cost savings.
