EMC, a player in information infrastructure solutions, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Kazeon Systems, an eDiscovery software provider for corporations, legal service providers, government entities and law firms.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2009, subject to customary closing conditions.

EMC believes the acquisition with help the company to offer end-to-end, in-house eDiscovery and litigation readiness solutions as part of the EMC SourceOne family for integrated but modular eDiscovery, archiving and compliance.

Kazeon allows organisations to identify, preserve, collect, process, analyse and review information in accordance with the  EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) framework. Core to Kazeon is its ability to handle Electronically Stored Information (ESI) that resides anywhere in the enterprise environment — including content on laptops, desktops, content management repositories (including, EMC Documentum), Microsoft SharePoint and Exchange, Lotus Domino, e-mail archives and file shares.

EMC also believes the acquisition will strengthen the company’s SourceOne portfolio. EMC SourceOne is an integrated family of products and solutions for eDiscovery, archiving and compliance.
