Index Engines in Partnership With Merrill

Index Engines, Inc. announces a partnership with Merrill Corporation, provider of technology-enabled
information and document services for professional services firms.

gather, organize and manage confidential and time-sensitive information. Index
Engines will help Merrill to support enterprise information governance programs
and assist organizations to apply policies across massive data and email
environments.

The Index Engines partnership enables Merrill to provide:

  electronic information in support of litigation and compliance

  effective access and remediation of backup tape data to mitigate risk
• Deployment of proactive policy against
  enterprise information assets in order to become litigation ready

"Merrill recognizes the shift in reactive to proactive
litigation readiness in which Index Engines technology plays a pivotal
role," states Jim McGann, VP of Information Discovery at Index Engines.
"Index Engines is the only platform that both processes data quickly at
the enterprise scale level, and provides accessing and indexing of legacy
content on tape so policy can be applied. Merrill’s customer base stands to
benefit from this partnership, and we are proud to be aligned with Merrill,
which is a well-respected leader in the business world."
