ZyLAB: Into the Conference Game

February 1, 2012

“ZyLAB Universe 2011: Meeting the Formidable Challenges of Information Management” at Project Counsel is a useful description of the company. The write up on the conference, which organizers hope will become an annual event, summarizes several presentations. In the description of a company overview presentation, we learn from the article:

[ZyLAB] was founded in 1983 in Chicago, now with offices worldwide with 120 employees and was the first company to develop full-text search on the PC platform. It is a leader in information access, e-discovery and records management. It’s international presence is enormous with more than 9,000 installations and 1.7 million users world-wide, with offices in the U.S., Europe and the Asia Pacific.

Other featured descriptions prove enlightening, demonstrating ZyLAB’s focus and point of view. For example, “The 5 Myths of E-Disclosure” details how to approach that complex subject wisely. Also, the session on IT functionality shows the company is cognizant of the nuts and bolts behind what they do. See the article for more insights. As vendors jump into conferences, we wonder if this is a core competency, a way to send a message without competitors in the room, or just a way to sidestep the costs of the flagship international events?
