SAN FRANCISCO -- Recommind, a leading provider of enterprise search, automatic categorization and eDiscovery systems for enterprises and law firms, today announced that Gardere, a top international law firm, has chosen Recomminds Decisiv™ Email to facilitate secure, accurate email categorization, collaboration and management. Decisiv Email enables Gardere’s 1000 users, comprised of partners, associates, and paralegals in four offices and 40 areas of varying practices, to more efficiently and securely manage its unstructured email data. By proactively categorizing emails and utilizing an innovative single object storage infrastructure, Decisiv Email ensures efficient and intelligent organization of email and coupled attachments.

“Email is the lifeline of communication between attorneys and clients, so in order to provide the superior service our clients depend on we needed to provide our employees with a better way to organize and collaborate via email,” said Ken Orgeron, CIO, Gardere. “Our organization has amassed an incredible amount of data, in particular, we have over a terabyte in email data alone, driving up storage costs and slowing the system’s ability to quickly identify messages in Exchange. With Decisiv Email, we will enable our employees to retrieve and share information securely and rapidly access their critical email content. Recommind’s Decisiv Email technology is tightly integrated into Microsoft Outlook so it will be simple to use and the system will automatically tag and file all incoming and outgoing messages and attachments for over 300 attorneys and 1000 total users, ensuring users can quickly find the information they need whenever they need it.”

Recommind’s Decisiv Email uses sophisticated automated email filing and conceptual search technology to automatically tag, organize and file email messages and associated attachments with virtually no user involvement required. Decisiv Email improves the secure sharing of information across an organization and can deliver up to 500 percent in storage savings over traditional email archiving systems. This ground-breaking email management product is the latest in Recommind’s family of innovative enterprise search, categorization and eDiscovery solutions.

“For today’s enterprises, the explosion of unstructured data in the form of email is a significant obstacle to providing knowledge workers with the level of information access that is required to meet regulatory requirements and consistently deliver superior customer service. Gardere’s proactive response to this challenge brings their management of electronic records and information to a new level of simplicity, automation and accuracy. With its ease of use, Recommind’s Decisiv Email will transform the way Gardere’s employees work – delivering significant, instantly measurable value,” said Bob Tennant, CEO for Recommind. “We are pleased to help Gardere strengthen its reputation for excellence by increasing efficiency and security of information.”
