Cataphora Expands to Washington, D.C.

Critical Market for Electronic Evidence Review and Analysis

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Cataphora[R] Inc. announced today that it has opened an office in Washington, D.C. to address fast-growing demand from attorneys and regulatory agencies for advanced computer-based technologies that can help them organize, analyze, and interpret large volumes of electronic evidence.

"Every day, attorneys and regulatory agencies are under mounting pressure as they strive to cope with the vast, ever-growing collections of documents, emails, instant messages, and other electronic files that constitute most evidentiary data," said Elizabeth Charnock, Cataphora's CEO. "There is a growing understanding that use of sophisticated software to help make sense of those documents and to identify critical evidence and fact patterns is clearly the future of legal practice."

"Washington, D.C. is one of the most important markets for us because of its concentration of top law firms, corporate legal teams, and regulatory agencies," Ms. Charnock added. "Our expanded presence there will not only enable Cataphora to win more sales and work more closely with customers, it will also help us to shape the future of this vital technology and refine its usage in private and public practice."

Washington has long been one of the most important and demanding markets for legal services and products. Only seven states have more attorneys than the nearly 43,500 who work in the nation's capital. What's more, attorneys and regulators in the rest of the country look to Washington as a major source of best practices and new techniques.

The new office will help Cataphora to serve customers not only in the Washington area but up and down the East Coast. Located close to many of Washington's top law firms and to important Cataphora partners, the office will support client needs and also aid company evangelists in helping the market grasp the implications of computer-assisted evidence review and analysis technologies.

Cataphora's C-Evidence[TM] product employs proprietary technology that helps legal teams and regulatory investigators explore and make sense of large, unorganized collections of electronic documents. Such items, typically extracted en masse from an organization's electronic data storage systems, can yield significant information that can be critical in determining the outcome of cases such as those involving white-collar crime, securities trading, and intellectual property.

Uniquely, C-Evidence is able to automatically unravel the tangled and sometimes hidden relationships that often exist within large collections of disparate documents and between the individuals who created and received them. With these relationships in hand, investigators can interpret any particular file within its full context. Delivered as a hosted service, C-Evidence can automatically reconstruct important sequences of events, statistically profile patterns of behavior, detect behavioral anomalies, and even identify previously unknown principals and custodians. C-Evidence presents its findings in tabular and graphical formats that enable attorneys to rapidly master the details of even the most complex cases.

"We are delighted to see the continued and accelerating adoption of our solutions and company growth that has allowed us to significantly expand during the last quarter," stated Charnock.
