ONSITE³ Launches Advanced Tape Discovery^TM Service

and Strategic Partnership with Index Engines

New Service Provides Fast Results and Reduced Costs vs. Traditional Tape Restoration

Holmdel, NJ — February 5, 2008 — ONSITE^3(TM), a global provider of litigation support and electronic evidence solutions for law firms and corporations, and Index Engines, a leading provider of enterprise discovery solutions, today announced a strategic partnership in conjunction with the availability of ONSITE3’s new Advanced Tape Discovery^TM service. Powered by Index Engines, the new service enables clients to locate and surgically extract relevant data stored on offline tapes without having to first utilize a full tape restoration process.

"ONSITE³’s new Advanced Tape Discovery enables legal and audit teams to quickly assess the content of offline tapes at a fraction of the time and cost associated with traditional tape restoration services,” said Robert Ballou, chief executive officer, ONSITE³. "Packaging this technology into a fully-managed eDiscovery solution, we have already engaged with a number of customers, including the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), as announced last month by Index Engines."

According to a recent Index Engines’ press release, PBGC is a federal corporation created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. PBGC selected Index Engines offline tape discovery technology to perform comprehensive data indexing for 45,000 tapes containing offline data retained over a 10 year period. ONSITE³ was also selected to manage the project, enabling PBGC to speed the electronic discovery process by rapidly indexing archived data without requiring the time consuming process of tape restoration. As a result, PBGC will only need to restore what they need, rather than the entire tape contents, significantly saving time and money.

"Offline tapes can present clients with one of the most difficult obstacles during the discovery process,” said Jeffery Fehrman, president of EELabs, a division of ONSITE³. "Our Advanced Tape Discovery is designed to expedite the early assessment process for offline tapes, as well as to facilitate a full eDiscovery process while still maintaining the same high standards for forensically sound methodologies and chain of custody documentation. ONSITE³’s adherence with these high standards ensures that produced evidence is both admissible and defensible in court."

“As a member of Index Engines Litigation Readiness^TM program, ONSITE³ is able to bring their customers the latest in offline tape discovery technology,” said Jim McGann, vice president of marketing, Index Engines. “The combination of ONSITE³’s services with our platform is changing the way the industry is approaching offline data discovery.”  

 Key advantages of ONSITE³’s Advanced Tape Discovery service include:

• Eliminates the need to restore tape contents in order to search them. Advanced Tape Discovery converts archival tape contents into a searchable repository without needing to install the original backup software. The tape contents are immediately searchable, both the full content and metadata.

• Simplifies the restore process by returning query results with tape ID and file location. Users can indicate the files to restore in the query results window and then the system will automatically generate a request to ONSITE³ with all relevant information.

• Reduces time and potential fines and penalties by providing high-speed indexing of offline data. ONSITE³ is able to process a multitude of tapes simultaneously, thus ensuring fast turnaround for the client.

• Proactive indexing minimizes risks by delivering a comprehensive index including full content, file metadata, security and user attributes for all offline electronic records.
