The acquisition of Attenex joins two of the most well respected brands in the industry, and positions FTI and the Technology segment as the market leader in eDiscovery with a full suite of products and solutions to meet our clients' evolving needs and the global reach to provide these services where they are needed. We are better positioned than ever to take advantage of this rapidly growing business.

This transaction positions FTI's Technology segment as the provider of the most robust set of ESI capabilities in the marketplace, said David Remnitz, leader of the FTI Technology segment. The combined FTI/Attenex platform will benefit from a broader intellectual property portfolio, enhanced capability to leverage the rapidly developing opportunity for enterprise in-house solutions, and a strong indirect sales channel that includes both FTI and Attenex Advantage(TM) partners. The outlook for the ESI marketplace continues to be strong, and we look forward to working together as one firm to take advantage of the opportunities ahead of us.
