X1 Probes eDiscovery at a $20,000 Price Point
August 17, 2009
The search vendors continue their hunt for markets eager for sophisticated content processing technology. The most recent shift to the legal sector is X1’s probe of the eDiscovery market. When an organization finds litigation the answer to a problem, eDiscovery reduces the cost of figuring out what information is germane to a matter. X1 Technologies, according to SocalTech.com, is rolling out an eDiscovery Search Suite. X1 entered the search market with a desktop search solution. I used this system when I received a download link from the company. “X1 eyes eDiscovery Market” reported that the software for law firms and in house attorneys begins at $20,000. Beyond Search thinks this is an interesting move. Recommind, which cut its teeth in the legal sector, has moved into the enterprise search market. Stratify, which pursued the intelligence community when it was known as Purple Yogi, shifted to the legal market and has expanded to other areas of the enterprise. Stratify is a unit of Iron Mountain. Search vendors continue to follow well worn paths in search of the key that unlocks greater revenue. With open source search systems such as those available from Tesuji.eu and Lemur Consulting and the bundling of search with other enterprise applications, the shifting from market to market is likely to increase for many search and content processing vendors.
