E-Discovery Magic Quadrant
If you missed it earlier on, Gartner (news, site) has released its first Magic Quadrant for e-Discovery. You don’t need Gartner to tell you that the e-Discovery marketplace is volatile and overcrowded, with new vendors entering as others merge. But it did anyway. In this report, Gartner apprises us of the challenges, trends and prospects for the e-Discovery industry.
In sum, it says there are two key factors inspiring growth within e-Discovery: An increase in civil litigation, criminal prosecutions and regulatory oversight; and the need for associated communications to be preserved for discovery.
Combined, these two drivers lead Gartner to forecast a five-year compound annual growth rate of approximately 14%, which means the total should reach $1.5 billion in 2013. Interested in more?
RSA, SOA Announce Integration
RSA (news, site) and cloud service governance provider SOA Software (news, site) announced this week that they have integrated SOA’s Policy Manager and Service Manager products with RSA’s Access Manager 6.1.
The integration enables customers to use existing investments in RSA Access Manager to authenticate and authorize web and cloud services transactions.
As a result, users will be able to ensure consistent authentication and authorization policy enforcement across web-based and Web services applications and systems.
RSA Access Manager enables enterprises to centrally manage authentication and authorization policies for a large number of users, online web portals and application resources. This is designed to enable enterprises to deploy applications faster, while at the same time providing user portal access with single sign-on (SSO) and preserving identity context for greater security.
