NORWICH, Conn., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Daticon, a Xiotech(R) Company, today announced the release of Virtual Partner(R) 8, a hosted service that gives customers direct access to their electronic data discovery (EDD) and paper conversion data through Daticon's Web-hosted central repository. The new release provides simplified search, retrieval, review and production, the review of native or image file formats, and a TIFF-on-the-fly capability for immediate availability of TIFF-based files for redaction and annotation.

Virtual Partner 8 complements Daticon's existing EDD and paper conversion services. All aspects of the paper and electronic review and production management process are handled in house, providing single-vendor accountability and minimizing the need for file conversion and transportation of documents between service providers.

"Because they handle both hosting and processing, Daticon's Virtual Partner system is a more efficient route for us to go, and because there is only one vendor for everything, there's also greater accountability," said William Boland, senior partner at McGuireWoods Law Firm. "New features like native file review with 'TIFF-on-the-fly' make this latest version even better."

As a subsidiary of Xiotech Corporation, a leader in network storage, Daticon uses Xiotech's Magnitude 3D(R) clustered storage systems to keep the data available, secure and quickly accessible 24 hours a day seven days a week. In addition, the information is encrypted using SSL and 128-bit encryption and is protected behind a secure firewall.

"Virtual Partner 8 and its new capabilities are integral to Daticon's single source solution for print and electronic document processing and hosting," said Mike Lehoux, vice president, technical marketing, Daticon. "It provides the leading system flexibility, advanced capabilities and security that are so important for this demanding industry."
