Tony Pfitzner, Managing Director of Allianza Services, announced the release of Allianza Discovery Server v1.0, the new file management platform designed to tackle the problem of unstructured data, and minimize it's impacts on network storage and document and records management initiatives. The innovative architecture of the new system will provide managers with a means of finally being able to tackle this burgeoning problem.

"This development has been driven by industry," said Tony "we are responding to information managers who are telling us they need a means to reduce the proliferation of unstructured data - not just store it."
