WorkProducts Recognized by Market-Leading Socha-Gelbmann 2008 Electonic Discovery Survey as a Top Software ProviderMatterSpace® Evidence Lifecycle Management (ELM) Recognized for Both Identification and Preservation of Evidence, Further Validating Enterprise-class Appliance for Legal/IT/Information Security Reston, VA…July 23, 2008 - WorkProducts, Inc., a leading ELM solution provider dedicated to bridging the evidence lifecycle gap between Enterprise Information Management and Electronic Discovery, today announced its recognition as a Top Software Provider for Identification and Preservation of Evidence in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. The MatterSpace ELM appliance was ranked based on a detailed ranking model containing more than 350 qualitative and quantitative factors. Corporations and their legal counsel increasingly understand that an automated and repeatable evidence identification and preservation process for litigation, investigations and regulatory compliance allows for great risk and costs reductions for all matters, small or large. MatterSpace ELM is the only enterprise-class appliance for legal/IT/Information Security users that utilizes an agentless environment for user-targeted preservation communications and actual enforcement of such preservation communications through data collection. It also provides early case assessment, case budget management, and reusable work product capabilities. MatterSpace "crawls" the enterprise network to identify, preserve, collect, index, and de-duplicate all accessible structured and unstructured electronically stored information (ESI) for all identified custodians and sources. It also tracks all matter-specific ESI communications and events, including litigation holds. Finally, through integration with legal matter management/electronic invoicing programs, more informed "try versus settle" decisions are available through the analysis of ESI costs versus budget through actual preserved data crawled by MatterSpace. "We are extremely proud of this recognition of WorkProducts as a leading electronic discovery software provider by Socha-Gelbmann," said Steve Lilley, Founder and CEO of WorkProducts. "These rankings are an indication of the collective value provided to corporations and law firms by the WorkProducts team and the MatterSpace ELM Partner Ecosystem. This report underscores our rapid progress extending our collective technologies delivered across the continuum of cases for corporations and their outside counsel. The client delivery experience is a true testament to the power of the MatterSpace product and our burgeoning ecosystem."

In its sixth year, the annual Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey is an independent survey conducted by George Socha and Tom Gelbmann to provide a comprehensive view into the growing electronic discovery market — including size, scope and issues of concern. This year's survey analyzes responses from 155 organizations that are on the forefront of e-discovery, including leading law firms and Fortune 1000 corporations. The rankings were based on factors including experience and reputation, nature and scope of software offered, capacity, how extensively consumers used the software offered, law firm rankings, corporation rankings, and revenue. "Our survey examines the demands for and consumption of commercial electronic discovery services and software. This report informs consumers of electronic discovery software and services and offers an independent view and ranking of the best in class providers," said George Socha and Tom Gelbmann, co-producers of the annual Socha-Gelbmann survey. The full 2008 rankings will appear in the August issue of Law Technology News (http://www.lawtechnews.com/). They also will be posted on LTN's EDD Update (http://www.eddupdate.com/) just after midnight on July 22 and, following that, on the Socha Consulting website (http://www.sochaconsulting.com/2008surveyresults.php).
