(NYSE:PBI) has ranked among the top providers of electronic discovery (eDiscovery) services in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann 6th Annual Electronic Discovery Survey.

It focuses on, but is not limited to, processing and storage capacity, overall capacity and usage of that capacity, whether organizations reached capacity ceilings in 2007, among other factors. Corporate Rankings � based on feedback from corporations who participated in the survey concerning the vendor they used and who they preferred, both overall and at each stage of the eDiscovery process. Processing � rankings in this category are based on what providers do to reduce the volume of ESI using various means (duplicates, sources, filtering, file types, dates, key words and concepts) to name a few. Production � tracks the production stage in the EDiscovery Reference Model (EDRM). It covers delivery of ESI to various recipients (law firms, corporate legal departments, service providers, etc.), delivery of ESI for use in other systems (automated litigation support systems, web based repositories, etc.) and delivery of ESI on media such as CD, DVD, tape, hard drives, portable storage devices and paper. �We are proud and honored to be recognized among the top eDiscovery service providers in the business,� said Dave Hutchinson, president, PBLS.
