ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced that it has been named to KMWorld Magazine's prestigious list of the “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management.” Published annually, this list recognizes organizations that have played a role in the creation and evolution of the knowledge management market through consistent innovation of technologies, products and services. Companies chosen for this list are compiled by KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers and colleagues. This is the fourth consecutive year that ZyLAB has been selected for inclusion to the list.
The ZyIMAGE Information Access Platform is a complete XML-based system that provides a robust foundation for the archiving and long-term management of vital enterprise-wide information, from digitized paper documents, to electronic files, to email and attachments, to multimedia. The Information Access Platform's comprehensive core technology means that finding, accessing, and organizing specific data can be performed through a standard browser in a quick, easy, and secure fashion. Users can add additional modules to create the exact, cost-effective solution they require for specific types of projects or business processes including records management, workflow, e-discovery and e-disclosure.
“We have long held that the true essence of knowledge management is an attitude, a single-minded commitment to improvement,” said Hugh McKellar, Editor-In-Chief of KMWorld. “And companies on our list simply must emphasize an abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers. They must also show agile innovation combined with a full understanding of the forces that affect, and will affect, their customers. ZyLAB understands this and has once again earned a spot on our list of companies that matter in knowledge management.”
ZyLAB offers a distinct approach to solving today’s information management and compliance challenges without the industry’s traditional “all-or-nothing” approach. ZyLAB’s modular architecture enables organizations to buy and use only what is needed, and importantly, be up and running in a matter of days. In addition, ZyLAB delivers integrated solutions for document and records management, with state-of-the-art search, discovery, text-mining, workflow and collaboration tools from capturing to disclosure. All of the captured information is stored in open XML, eliminating the need to use a database and ensuring proprietary technology is not needed to access the information.
"Celebrating 25 years of innovation, ZyLAB has worked hard to continuously create a broad array of innovative information access solutions that meet the needs of our clients,” said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. “To be recognized by KMWorld is validation for all the hard work our team has put into developing flexible and affordable solutions that help both small and large enterprises find, access and organize information. This achievement falls on the heels of our recent positioning in the leaders quadrant for information access technology by one of the world’s most respected analyst firms. We are on a roll and look forward to significant growth in 2008.”
