ZyLAB Client, Gonzalo de Cesare, Named 2010 LTN IT Champion of the Year; Voted the Winner by an Independent Law Technology News Awards Jury

    MCLEAN, VA, February 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ZyLAB, a leading eDiscovery and information management technology company, today announced that its long-time client, Gonzalo de Cesare of the United Nations, and a keynote speaker at the Annual LegalTech New York Conference held last week, was named the 2010 LTN IT Champion of the Year. Mr. de Cesare was presented with the award immediately following his keynote presentation about information management for high-volume legal proceedings in United Nations war crimes tribunals.

Mr. de Cesare expands upon his keynote presentation in a feature article in the February issue of Law Technology News (see http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1202479 ... hbxlogin=1). He supplies comprehensive details about standardizing on the ZyLAB eDiscovery and Information Management Platform to overcome the recurring challenges inherent in tribunals and war crime investigations. The content outlines the technical, linguistic and political hurdles faced during the Slobodan Milosevic trial and Mr. de Cesare's role in implementing repeatable best practices for subsequent investigations. These achievements were the basis for Mr. de Cesare's nomination and ultimate acceptance of the 2010 LTN IT Champion of the Year award.

"De Cesare and his team have developed disclosure standards for the trial of Slobodan Milosevic (the late president of the former Yugoslavia and Serbia), and prosecutions in Rwanda and Cambodia, incorporating legal technology such as the ZyLAB eDiscovery System," reported Monica Bay, LTN editor-in-chief, in 'LegalTech New York as 'King Maker'' (see http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1202480 ... hbxlogin=1).

In Kosovo, the team uses ZyLAB's Google Maps integration for cutting-edge geo-location of documents to pinpoint villages and other locations that are relevant to investigations. De Cesare is now serving as political advisor at the European Union Police Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"During the Slobodan Milosevic trial, we found ZyLAB to be the ideal technical partner to implement our vision for bringing justice, managing millions of documents, and complying with the stringent rules of international law," said Gonzalo de Cesare.
