May 5th, 2010 - Nuix and MicroForensics Announce Strategic Partnership to Provide a Fully Integrated EDRM System

Nuix, a leading provider of corporate investigation and electronic discovery (eDiscovery) software, and MicroForensics, a leading developer of forensically defensible data collection technology, today announced a new technology partnership. Nuix and MicroForensics will integrate their technologies to deliver a complete eDiscovery system that is scalable and can be deployed in as little as one day.

"We were drawn to Nuix's ease of use and scalability on a small footprint, which have been goals of ours as well," said Jaime Florence of MicroForensics. "Over the course of the last few years we realized that our two companies had really been pursuing the same objectives, with MicroForensics focused on collection and Nuix focused on processing and early case assessment. Nuix's recently announced 5 year contract to provide technology to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is further proof of the product's leadership role in this industry."

"Nuix has spent a long time perfecting the right side of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), which has to do with data processing and analysis, while MicroForensics' development has focused on the collection and preservation capabilities, on the left side of the EDRM," said Nuix CEO Eddie Sheehy. "Nuix is delighted to extend our development team to include the first-class skills and experience of the team at MicroForensics. This partnership means that users will be able to collect, preserve, process and analyze their data, including information stored in SharePoint, in a matter of hours and days, as opposed to weeks and months."

The combination of Nuix's accelerated discovery capabilities with MicroForensics' industry-leading forensic collection abilities will enable corporate customers, government agencies and litigation support providers to vastly improve their corporate investigative and eDiscovery practices.

Sheehy concluded, "Our partnership agreement and imminent launch of the only forensically-sound SharePoint collection tool that retains the exact 'look and feel' experienced by the user, makes this a very exciting time for both organizations, and for our customers."
