PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2004

Fios(R) Inc., a tier one provider of electronic discovery services, today announced that the company has been selected as one of KMWorld's 100 "Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management 2004" winners. Fios was selected among more than 1,500 service providers, analysts, integrators and consultants in the knowledge and data management industry. This award places Fios as one of the leading organizations in the knowledge economy and recognizes the company for its achievements in defining and growing the electronic discovery market and sharing its knowledge with the industry.

Electronic discovery is a key element in the knowledge economy. Over 90 percent of new documents created in organizations today are electronic, and all of this information is subject to identification, review, and delivery to opposing counsel in litigation. This complexity is compounded by the massive amounts of electronic documents stored on various types of computers, devices and company networks across multiple locations. Electronic evidence sources can include email servers, network file servers, databases, backup tapes, laptops, desktops, personal digital assistants, cell phones and more. Fios has brought to the industry a keen understanding and ability to define and manage the discovery process, as well as prepare customers for pending litigation.

"Fios is dedicated to improving the knowledge landscape for legal teams and enterprise customers that manage complex litigation on a regular basis," said Gerald Massey, president and CEO of Fios. "We've taken great strides to bring innovation and understanding to the market. This recognition is greatly valued by Fios and is representative of the commitment we will continue to bring as a partner in the knowledge and data management space."
