Index Engines’ Indexing Technology Addresses Dormant Liability of Corporate Backup Tape Inventories

AUSTIN, Texas & HOLMDEL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RenewData, a leading provider of electronic evidence and data migrations services for corporations and law firms, and Index Engines, the leader in enterprise discovery solutions, today announced that RenewData has added the Index Engines Offline Tape Discovery technology to its suite of Data Migration Services. Offline Tape Discovery enables direct searching of documents stored on tape. When combined with RenewData’s legal expertise and processes, corporations can reduce the time and expense of analyzing their inventory of backup tapes to determine which tapes must be kept to address legal or regulatory requirements.

As a new Index Engines customer, RenewData has also joined the Index Engines Litigation Ready Partner Program to extend the offline tape e-discovery benefits of the Index Engines Enterprise Discovery Platform to its customers. With the addition of RenewData to the Index Engines network of Litigation Ready Partners, Index Engines now has the capacity to help customers perform information discovery on up to 14,000 backup tapes a month.

“Corporations maintain tens of thousands of backup tapes. These inventories are significant sources of current and potential liability, as well as ongoing storage costs. Corporations often retain these tapes indefinitely because they cannot identify the contents of each tape. They need the ability to quickly and cost effectively analyze these large volumes of tapes, using a legally defensible process to determine which contain relevant content for legal or regulatory matters, and therefore must be kept for further processing,” said Ellery Buchanan, CEO, RenewData. “Index Engines’ advanced content and metadata indexing technology is an ideal addition to our existing data migration technology. By enhancing our data migration solution with Index Engines’ Enterprise Discovery Platform, we are able to help clients address the dormant liability residing in their backup tapes, as well as reduce the ongoing storage costs of these tapes.”

“RenewData is well known as a specialist for complex, large volume production engagements with many of the nation’s largest law firms and corporations,” said Jim McGann, vice president of marketing, Index Engines. “It is an honor to add such an industry expert to our customer roster. Their legal expertise and end-to-end eDiscovery and Data Migrations Services offering is a tremendous addition to our Litigation Ready Partner network.”

The Index Engines Litigation Ready Partner Program has been designed to provide superior technology and resources for partners, including RenewData, as they embrace the growing revenue opportunities in the high-demand market for eDiscovery. The program delivers compelling sales and marketing initiatives for lead generation, technology training, sales education and tools to assist during customer engagements.
