April 28, 2003 - Portland, Ore. - Fios�, Inc, the leading provider of electronic discovery services, today publicly released concept-based searching as part of Prevail�, Fios� Web-based electronic discovery tool. With this release, Fios has become the first full-service electronic discovery services provider to offer advanced data mining capabilities to top law firms, FORTUNE� 500 companies and government investigatory agencies.

The concept-based search technology in Prevail enables legal teams to search and organize vast amounts of unstructured information by mapping relationships between each word and every other word in large sets of documents. This association of words based on the context in which they are used creates a form of numeric �meaning� or �understanding,� which enables users to quickly identify relevant documents and related concepts within vast amounts of data, even if the results contain no words in common with the queries.
