Sep. 29, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Stratify, Inc. a market leader in eDiscovery and subsidiary of Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, today announces the introduction of Stratify eVantage^™, an on-premises eDiscovery early case assessment solution that safeguards corporate proprietary information. The Stratify eVantage solution allows general counsel to reduce the cost and risk of eDiscovery by going beyond statistical data culling with advanced technologies that drive more intelligent, qualitative analysis on all matters and internal investigations in their eDiscovery portfolio.

“When completing an early case assessment, general counsel need the appropriate insight to make critical case strategy decisions to increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. “Given the amount of electronically stored information that pertains to any given matter, the only way companies can cost effectively attain this insight is to utilize technology like the Stratify eVantage solution, which enables companies to quickly filter and cull large data sets, and more importantly, deeply analyze information to gather the necessary facts. The benefits are pretty clear: enhanced control over the electronic discovery process facilitating faster, more informed decision making to mitigate legal risk.”
