SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 5, 2014) - ZL Technologies, Inc. (ZL), the leader in comprehensive unstructured information governance for large organizations, has been selected for inclusion in KMWorld's 2014 annual listing of 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management. Over the past decade and a half, KMWorld's distinction has recognized companies that successfully blended agile innovation in the knowledge management (KM) space with commitment to customer satisfaction. ZL Technologies' flagship product, the Unified Archive^® (ZL UA), was the primary factor in ZL's recognition and offers a broad spectrum of functionality that spans nearly all aspects of the knowledge and information governance spectrum.

ZL Technologies' inclusion in the KMWorld list continues a whirlwind of recent accolades that include selection for the Leaders category in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA) as well as selection as a finalist in KMWorld's own Promise and Reality Awards. ZL has proven itself to be a leader in the field of leveraging information governance and unstructured "Big Data" for strategic advantage in the enterprise-class space, including Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies. The Unified Archive remains peerless as a singular platform that can efficiently centralize and de-duplicate all enterprise unstructured content into a non-siloed and massively scalable repository, spanning all commonly used KM applications including search, compliance, eDiscovery, records management, and storage optimization.

Highlighting ZL's position at the junction of innovation and customer satisfaction is its singular architecture and complete control of underlying code base. Unlike many solutions that are built through acquisition, ZL UA has been built systematically from the ground up, allowing ZL to rapidly address customer concerns and tailor functionality to evolving customer needs. Given the rate at which new data types are created and adopted, ZL's ability to keep pace is vital to its high rate of client satisfaction. ZL UA's unified architecture eliminates data silos and duplicate copies, ensuring one coherent view of all enterprise unstructured data, and allowing users to seamlessly leverage stored information for both proactive and reactive business advantage.

KMWorld is the leading publisher in the knowledge management and content management space, informing over 50,000 subscribers about the developments in these critical fields and offering a wide range of materials to help businesses optimize how they use their information, including best practices guidelines and buyer guides. The 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management listing, which ZL has been featured in multiple times, is published yearly and aims to advance the discussion of knowledge management approaches and strategy.
