Exterro, Inc. Announces Fusion Genome: Dynamic Data Map 2.0

First Evergreen Data Mapping Solution Extends Exterro's Legal Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance Platform

New York, NY – (Marketwire – February 3, 2009) – At LegalTech® New York, Exterro, a trusted provider of software solutions for the legal industry, unveiled Fusion Genome™.

Fusion Genome™ is the first dynamic data mapping solution that enables corporate legal and IT teams to identify, manage, and analyze the lifecycle of data sources and electronically stored information (ESI) across an enterprise, while keeping that information continuously updated.

Built on Exterro’s Fusion workflow platform, Genome™ provides companies with an automated data map that helps them understand and manage their rapidly evolving information landscape. This allows organizations to implement a comprehensive end-to-end risk assessment and management solution on a single workflow platform.

Visitors could view demonstrations of the solution at Booth #1711 at LegalTech® New York.

Addressing Growing Compliance and Data Management Challenges

Complex regulations such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have increased scrutiny on corporate legal and IT departments.

Organizations that fail to understand and manage their data environments face significant risks and expenses when responding to regulatory or e-discovery requests. Many current systems rely on manual or ad-hoc processes, which are inadequate for managing today’s rapidly growing and evolving data environments.

Legal, IT, and records management teams have long needed a dynamic, enterprise-wide data map capable of evolving with their organization’s information inventory. Fusion Genome™ delivers an intelligent, workflow-driven solution to meet this need.

“Our Fortune 500 clients’ biggest challenge is keeping their data maps current,” said Bobby Balachandran, CEO of Exterro.

“They often rely on error-prone tribal knowledge to manage constantly changing data sources and systems, which makes implementing regulatory and compliance policies difficult. Exterro worked closely with its clients to develop Fusion Genome™, and many expect a one-year ROI of more than 500%.”

Seamless Integration Across Enterprise Systems

Fusion Genome™ integrates with enterprise systems such as HR, matter management, and asset management systems, enabling cross-functional collaboration across business units.

The platform can function as a standalone solution or integrate with Fusion Legal Hold and Discovery Workflow Management, helping organizations save both time and costs while improving compliance.
