BELMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2013) - Actiance, helping organizations benefit from communications, collaboration and social networking, today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with ZL Technologies. Under the terms of the expanded partnership, the organizations will deliver archiving capabilities for enterprise and public social data, integrated with current capabilities for instant messaging and unified communications to ZL Technologies' customers. As ZL Technologies' partner for social media and social business content capture, Actiance delivers the capability to contextually control, monitor and collect unconventional or unstructured data sources, such as collaboration tools and social media, which then, through the integration is stored and leveraged for analytics in the ZL Unified Archive.

"We're thrilled to announce the growth of our relationship with Actiance to deliver an incredibly robust and seamless archiving solution for social data to our enterprise customers," said Kon Leong, CEO of ZL Technologies. "The widespread adoption of social media has unleashed a new class of complex data that the enterprise must treat as both corporate records and a source of powerful business insight, and our continued integration with Actiance enables them to do so effectively."

In addition to traditional interactions through email, emerging sources such as instant messaging, web chat and social media are considered electronically stored information, and as such, they must meet regulatory requirements for compliance and e-discovery purposes such as future litigation and legal discovery. This integration enables businesses to process data from disparate sources and pool messages into a consolidated group. Each message -- regardless of origin -- is indexed, made available for search and analytics, checked for compliance violations and presented for review if applicable. In addition, enterprises can monitor and view archived data from a single portal while keeping the context and source of each message intact.

"Building on Actiance's history of providing best-in-class solutions, we're pleased to deepen our integration with ZL Technologies to include contextual social media and social business data," said Sarah Carter, general manager of social business at Actiance. "Ensuring that our joint clients can utilize both solutions gives complete flexibility and maximizes existing infrastructure."
