SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/21/14 -- ZL Technologies, Inc. (ZL), a leader in comprehensive unstructured data management for large organizations, today announced that its flagship product, ZL Unified Archive® (ZL UA), has been named a "2014 Trend-Setting Product" by KMWorld. The distinction recognizes products in the knowledge management space that offer unique value to customers, including adaptability, usability, total cost of ownership (TCO), and vision. With ZL's unique architecture, customers are afforded an unparalleled solution for all of today's pressing data management needs, while simultaneously providing a foundational repository of content for tomorrow's application of large-scale unstructured analytics.

Amidst a string of recent accolades, including recognition as a leader in analyst firm Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA), recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Structured Data Archiving, and inclusion in KMWorld's own "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management," it is clear that ZL UA has established a forward-leaning presence in the information governance space. For over a decade, top financial institutions, manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, federal agencies, and other large, heavily-litigated organizations have turned to ZL's unique approach to "Big Data" control and consolidation. ZL Unified Archive® provides a singular, robust, and elastically scalable platform that manages all enterprise unstructured content -- for eDiscovery, compliance, records management, and storage -- enabling rapid searches across all organizational data, elimination of duplicates, and consistent retention policies.

One of the most sought-after advantages of ZL's platform is its elimination of disjointed data "silos," which often prove an insurmountable hurdle to cost-effective and defensible leverage of unstructured content. ZL's singular approach enables a vast spectrum of cross-departmental data management capabilities, including true end-to-end eDiscovery capabilities and seamless ongoing coordination with records policies and disposition. With information governance rising in importance and the recent revision of the EDRM replacing "information management" with "information governance," it is clear that market needs now acknowledge ZL's longstanding perspective that proactive governance is key to curbing rapidly rising costs and effectively mitigating attendant risks. Ultimately, ZL Unified Archive® is an infinitely adaptable solution, capable of being tailored to meet a variety of requirements and approaches across industries and data types.

KMWorld is the leading publisher in the knowledge and content management space. With over 50,000 subscribers, KMWorld offers a wide range of materials to help businesses optimally leverage corporate information, including best practices guidelines and buyer guides.
