By Brad Jenkins

This is an interesting partnership which addresses legal hold and management services. Both companies have raised capital over the past couple years. Fios raised $17.6 million in capital as of 2006 and Exterro has raised close to $5 million from a very small group of investors.

PORTLAND, Ore. ? August 5, 2008 ?

With this partnership, Fios will provide its full suite of business process and technical consulting services to support the implementation of Exterro's Fusion legal hold management application.

"Effectively managing legal holds in response to preservation obligations has become one of the most critical issues needing to be addressed by corporations facing litigation or investigation," said Prashant Dubey, senior vice president of Fios.
