Autonomy's sector defining acquisition of ZANTAZ in July 2007 saw the merging of two market-leading businesses with ZANTAZ being the leader in the email archiving and eDiscovery markets and Autonomy being the leader in the information access and processing markets. This acquisition has been widely acknowledged by leading analysts as spearheading the consolidation of the highly fragmented eDiscovery market and offering the most complete solution to Information Risk Management (IRM) on a single platform.
